Longfield Crescent and Dacre North have been granted planning permission unanimously at committee and Dacre South last month under delegated powers. The proposals provide 52 new affordable flats and family houses and 5 private houses on constrained infill sites within existing estates. Profit from the market properties will provide additional funds for affordable homes and landscaping improvements to the estates. The schemes are part of Phase 2 of the ‘New Homes Better Places’ programme, a joint initiative between Lewisham Council and Lewisham Homes to provide 500 new council homes in the borough by 2018.
