Bell Green urban renewal plan

This proposal below outlines a community-led plan for Bell Green has been initiated by the Sydenham Society with Discourse Architecture. It has been registered with Lewisham Planning Department in response to their recent ‘Call for Sites’ for consideration in the development of the new Local Plan. The catalyst has been the proposal to demolish the gas holders, adjacent to the Livesey Hall and Perry Hill, and construct new retail and light industrial units at the west end of the site. This has highlighted the profound failure of development at Bell Green to provide a good environment for local people, and the urgent need for a fresh vision for the area.

Bell Green community-led master plan

The Sydenham Society has called for an immediate halt to demolition of the gas holders to enable proper community consultation, a review of options and completion of a masterplan for Bell Green.
Working with Discourse Architecture, we have embarked on the development of a community-led master plan for the wider Bell Green site. We believe that the gas holders, which are an important expression of our local industrial heritage, should be retained as part of this new vision.

Sydenham welcomes Nando’s

With great anticipation, Nando’s officially opened their doors this week to the people of Sydenham, Kirkdale and surrounds. Queues of an hour wait to get it on the first night were proof that this is a great addition to the excellent pubs and eateries we already have in the area.

We are pleased to have a good mix of independent as well as chain eateries in Sydenham, and it’s excellent that more local jobs have been created thanks to Nando’s opening.

We look forward to the other businesses opening up in the area soon!
