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.

    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.
