We are planning to build new council homes by redeveloping a plot of land on Lindsey street, as well as plans on Amina way and Alexis street.

About the project

Southwark Council intend to develop Eveline Lowe Estate which has been approved for redevelopment to provide new council homes. This is part of our commitment to help make lives better in the borough by building 11,000 new council homes by 2043.We want to listen to your views when designing this development, so that the needs of local people are met in the design of the master plan, new homes and public realm.The proposed sites are to redevelop the garages at Linsey Street and the grassed area near the shops known as Amina Way.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1648033360/projects/charlesmackenzieevelinelowe/dced4a8d-2a09-472b-ab5e-8c76a5af7313.png" class="fr-fic fr-dii"> We think that we can build a number of new homes, and improvements in this development. We will work with the local community to develop designs that make the most of the space to provide much-needed new homes and improve the existing estate.The development of Eveline Lowe Estate will provide new homes for local people in housing need. Under our local lettings policy, a minimum of 50% of the new council homes will be for local tenants in housing need. This means local tenants can remain in the local area and continue using the services and remain near family and friends. Why we&rsquo;re building new council homes<ul><li>A shortage of affordable housing is a top concern for our residents</li><li>The population of our borough is growing</li><li>To help meet the housing needs of future generations</li><li>To provide opportunities and strengthen communities</li></ul> Location of proposed development<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1648033443/projects/charlesmackenzieevelinelowe/0134e11b-2018-4bb6-a2d5-e496030909c3.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii">Amina Way&nbsp;<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1648033652/projects/charlesmackenzieevelinelowe/046214ba-c156-4100-b6fa-fad3a178698f.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii">Linsey Street&nbsp;Margaret Burrell is managing this project.
