We are thrilled to have secured a unanimous planning approval for Farmstead Road at committee last week. Appointed by Phoenix Community Housing, BPTW worked as planning consultant on the development which will deliver 24 100% affordable homes in Lewisham. The scheme was designed by Metropolitan Workshop LLP and consists of three blocks which reflect the distinctive character of the area in scale and architectural detail.

Farmstead Road will deliver much-needed affordable housing in the borough with the provision of 100% affordable units far exceeding the London Plan (2021) which requires schemes to provide a minimum of 35% affordable housing. Throughout the development process, extensive rounds of consultation were undertaken with the local community to verify that the proposal responded to residents’ needs and to ensure that the scheme was of the highest design quality. A fantastic scheme which will provide high quality affordable homes.
