Southwark Mole

As I stated before, log onto Southwarks' planning portal.,Permission was granted to the developer after the sale of the site to them -WITHOUT Planning. Don't waste your time on speculation, deal with the facts.

The one you refer to is privately run. ARHAG are a social registered landlord - www.arhag.co.uk. They operate these sort of schemes across London with varying degrees of success. I don't know if local public opinion would be suffcient to persuade developer or ARHAG to reconsider thier scheme. Even if the revised scheme is not actioned, as the build is being funded by Arhag, they could retain the current planning and house thier residents anyway.

Very simple to answer, go to the Southwark planning portal, you will see permission has been granted for 6 x 4 bed houses. However, I have been informed a further consultation procees is underway with ARHAG Housing Association to look to fund this with the Developer and change the use to a large hostel/ short stay refuge for thier vulnerable residents or asylum seekers. Will be an interesting time for all those invloved! Bring back Banfields!!
