The Masterplan Delivers
- The regeneration of Convoys Wharf provides new urban spaces and public access to the River Thames in an area closed to public access for the last 500 years.
- Convoys Wharf will deliver:
- 3,500 new homes for Lewisham and London.
- The current Reserved Matters Applications deliver 456 private and 124 Affordable Homes.
- Plot 15 provides Affordable Homes with a bias to Social Rent (52%) and are brought forward in advance of the required provisions of the Outline Planning Permission (OPP) and with a lower rent level (London Affordable Rent) than the OPP.
- Plot 08 provides homes for Lewisham and London, designed to sizes that exceed the National Space Standard. These 1- and 2-bedroom homes will be accessible for first time buyers and upscalers supported by the Help to Buy scheme.
- 2,000 full time jobs and 1,200+ construction jobs, supported by a Local Labour and Building Strategy and £500,000 employment and training funding to assist access to those employment opportunities.
- A Cultural and Meanwhile use strategy which, working with the Cultural Steering Group and the local community, will deliver successful placemaking programmes, projects and interventions.
