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.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
