Technical requirements: Southwark Council is seeking developers in connection with its Southwark Regeneration in Partnership Programme (SRPP) for lot A which consists of 5 lots (over 8 different sites).
Southwark is tackling the housing crisis head on by building homes of all types to meet the needs of our residents. This procurement aims to make better use of land that the council owns to deliver new homes, business space, space for a GP's practice, retail space, public realm, community facilities and a new special school. In total this procurement will provide approximately 381 new homes of all tenures including council homes, intermediate homes and private sale units. The aim of the programme is to secure investment, attract external housing grant and establish a partnership with developers to maximise the utility, value and quality of the development and consequently the council's assets and services.
This development is over 2 sites. Redevelopment of Manor Place to include 56 residential units (19 social, 9 intermediate and 28 private), a 757sqm Health Centre (Use Class D1), 70sqm pharmacy (use class A2), 261sqm café (Use class A3) and 45sqm retail unit (use class A1) in a part 3, part 4 and part 5 & part 6 storey block, including retention of the existing terrace façade along Manor Place. Improved entrance to Pasley Park associated landscaping and public realm improvements.
Redevelopment of Braganza Street to include demolition of existing buildings to provide a mixed use development comprising 6 buildings to provide 33 residential units (5 intermediate and 28 private), office use (class B1, hard and soft landscaping and other associated works incidental to the development.
Please note all areas and unit numbers given are approximate and subject to change. The Council is seeking planning consent for both sites and intends that the developer build the consented scheme with little or no alteration.
This development is over 2 sites. The Albion Civic was previously a former municipal building that has been demolished and is vacant. The development consists of provision of a 5 storey block with partial set back to the public square. The scheme will provide 26 units (12 intermediate units and 14 social rented units).
The Albion primary school is an existing school that is being rebuilt by a council contractor, and the resulting surplus land will provide land for this proposed housing development. The site is expected to be available by September 2018 and will be redeveloped for residential use. Provision of a 6 storey block to provide 50 units (13 Private/12 intermediate units and 25 social rented) and associated road/highway works.
The Council is seeking planning consent for both sites and intends that the developer build the consented scheme with little or no alteration.
The site is a vacant former social care day centre situated on Southwark Park Road, with large mature trees lining the boundary between the road and site. The surrounding area, which includes Southwark Park and Bermondsey Station, is a mix of 2-3 storey residential properties of period terrace style directly to the south with 5-7 storey block style typologies to the north. The current proposal, which provides 43 residential units (11 social and 28 private units and 4 intermediate) is estimated to have a density of 757 habitable rooms per hectare in the Urban Zone, which slightly exceeds the expected density range of 200 to 700 set out within Core Strategy Policy 5. However, planning advice has been that maximum densities may be exceeded where developments achieve the highest standard of design, exceeding minimum internal space standards as well as providing an acceptable standard of daylight and sunlight, privacy, good outlook and amenity space. The Council would welcome proposals to convert the ground floor to residential usage which was previously originally proposed for commercial usage. Moreover, there may be some scope to provide a slightly larger footprint within the site, particularly if on site bus parking would not be required if a B1 use or residential use is proposed for the ground floor. Sufficient space within the site would still need to be retained for disabled parking and suitable landscaping and planting. Bidders have the option of progressing the current proposal or devising an entirely new one, providing that this delivers the Council's requirements as set out in the procurement documents.
The site, at the corner of Macks Road and Southwark Park Road, is currently occupied by Cherry Garden School, which is relocating to a new site. It is bounded on the south and west by Macks Road and Southwark Park Road. The surrounding area, which includes the Blue shopping area, Southwark Park and Bermondsey, is a mix of 2 to 6 storey structures and a conversation area on the other side of Southwark Park Road. The current proposal provides a predominantly residential development comprising a series of buildings ranging from 3 to 7 storeys in height providing 50 residential units (12 social, 6 Intermediate and 32 private units) and 150 sqm of retail use (Class A1-A3) together with hard and soft landscaping and other associated works incidental to the development. Bidders have the option of progressing the current proposal or devising an entirely new one, providing that this delivers the Council's requirements as set out in the procurement documents.
This development consists of 2 parts. The first part is the reconstruction of the new Beormund primary school to be developed at the former Bellenden school site in Peckham. The second part is the construction of 3 residential blocks of 5-6 storeys suitable for private sale or private rented (56 units) in addition to the social (24 units) and intermediate (8 units) housing and a stand-alone 5 storey pupil referral unit building. Commercial space to be provided at ground floor in all residential blocks.
