Lewisham Council plan for 32 council homes approved

Lewisham Council have approved 32 homes at a site on Mayow Road near Forest Hill school.

Twenty six flats will be for homeless families, and six for those with learning difficulties and/or autism.

The project is a collaboration with the NHS and sees supported living accommodation residents having 24/7 care.

Plans passed extremely quickly with submission in mid-August and approval six weeks later. Work on site should start in spring 2020.

According to Lewisham Council: “A new special educational needs school is also planned for construction directly opposite the site.”
