Galliard Homes has received approval from Lewisham Planning Committee for the regeneration of Leegate Shopping Centre, Lee Green, SE12, into 562 homes.
The Rolfe Judd Architecture-designed scheme focuses on the sustainable regeneration of a five-acre underutilised brownfield site which is currently occupied by the Leegate Shopping Centre.
The approved scheme consists of a 15-storey building delivering 562 homes, including 36% affordable housing, flexible commercial floorspace, a community centre, public house, a medical facility, gym, and public square.
The application was submitted by Knight Frank on behalf of Galliard Homes.
Emma Gill, an associate in the planning team at Knight Frank, said: “This site had a complex planning history, during which time we have had to contend with emerging Neighbourhood and Local Plans and engage closely with local residents and the community.
“Securing a unanimous vote in favour of the application at planning committee was the climax of many years hard work across multiple Knight Frank teams. This will be a new neighbourhood for Lee Green, and we’re delighted to have secured this result on behalf of our client Galliard Homes and the local community, who will greatly benefit from the area’s regeneration.”
