I always understood that the site would be a new community hospital with the remainder becoming housing of some kind, probably mixture of social housing, private housing and "key worker" housing.


Normally would expect the new hospital to arise first, then a move from old into new - with the old being converted to "stylish" flats in the old Victorian building. So you're carne maybe for the new hospital?


Tho' would have thought the current housing market would mean the housing element being delayed.

There has been a consultation on the future of the NHS in Southwark which actually closed on Friday (17th April): Transforming Southwark's NHS. This specifically addressed questions on the services that would be on the old Dulwich Hospital site (page 23) - or rather the part of it that has already been cleared. Although the consultation has now officially closed I would imagine that late entries via the online response form would be accepted for a couple of days: Consultation response form


There has been no planning decision with regard to the remainder of the site although a planning brief for the site was kicked around some while ago: Draft Planning Brief


A more recent document on the planning framework in the Dulwich area has just been published which includes discussion of inter alia the hospital site (pp 23-24): Dulwich Planning Document March 2009


Unbelievably, no mention in any of these documents of a helipad for DM.

I'm not entirely sure what they're building (I've been told it's a new wing but can't be sure) but the demolition work was carried out by Erith demolition who I've been told found dangerous hydro-carbons in the soil. The building work has been awarded to the Costain group. You can contact them by phoneing 01628 842444. They're legally obliged to tell you what the project is unless it is for the MOD.

This is what I think they are going to build on the site, http://www.dulwichcommunityhospital.nhs.uk/document_view.php?PID=0000000229&DID=00000000000000000175


As for the existing Hospital, I don't know, just hope it's not bulldozed as it's probably the most impressive architecture still standing in SE22.


Are you able to elaborate on what kind of health risk, if any, these "dangerous hydro-carbons" pose?

with the old being converted to "stylish" flats in the old Victorian building.


Well they turned my lovely little school (St John's, Northcross / Archdale Roads) in to stupid trendy flats, why not do the same with the hospital I was born in! Grrr!!! :X


Out with the old and all that.

    • Maybe if you indicated what you were reviewing, pub, gastro pub, high-end gourmet, local Italian etc. - whatever classifications you wanted, then you need only indicate that your stars referred to overall quality in that category. So it it's pub grub then 5 stars means it's great pub grub, but not the same experience as 5 stars in a high end gourmet category. Your star system could then include implicitly value for money as well. 
    • Does OP know they can sell everything but alcohol even without a license?😄
    • Thanks, it's a real dilemma whether to do star ratings. A few people have asked me to do them but I've tried to resist as they are too reductive - people will look at them and won't read review! and they are difficult too - my last review of Victoria Inn, i'd give it five stars for value for money - how can you knock two courses for £18? – but 2 stars for quality - edible but nothing special. Which I guess is why some sites give star ratings for different things...
    • ok - Jeremy himself is against mandatory vaccines. Is he as extreme as his brother? No? Is it fair to discuss how the overall view of that family would inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic? I would argue very much so
