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.

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
