Help us deliver a new green vision for Lewisham Town Centre

This new vision for Lewisham Shopping Centre is set to redefine the town centre. Brought to you by Landsec, owners of the centre for over 20 years, this totally revamped area will pave the way for a whole new green district including:

A new park and meadow the size of a football pitch, on top a reimagined shopping centre
300 trees, thousands of plants and a 300% increase in biodiversity
New shops, bars, cafes and restaurants
New live music and culture venue that’s not-for-profit
Three new public squares and community facilities
1,700 new homes with a minimum of 20% affordable housing for social rent, affordable homes for key workers, in addition to 665 student bedrooms and 445 co-living residences
Almost half of the new district open public and green space
A street food market with the spirit of the old Model Market
Safe walking routes through the entire district
Additional funding for the high street and support for local business, jobs and skills in the borough

But these benefits are not secured without planning permission

Next year, Lewisham Council’s planning committee will decide whether to approve the plans, and this is your chance to tell them what you think.

Things you might want to include in your email before you send

Giving your views helps decision makers understand why you support the proposals.

We recommend that you choose a few reasons that are most important to you from the below that you can include in your email. You can copy directly or change as you see fit.

This is a great opportunity to breathe new life into an aging shopping centre and make better use of the location.
We need a greater variety of shops and restaurants to be able to choose from.
There is a real shortage of green space in the borough. I support the plans to change this by creating a new park, Levesham Meadow, and other public spaces that will contain areas for people of all ages to enjoy.
I support the development because it will see the creation of a new night-time economy offer. There are not enough places to eat, drink and socialise in Lewisham.
We need new homes in the borough and for this reason I support the plans and the introduction of up to 1,700 new homes.
I’d like to see the reintroduction of the Model Market and buildings like the Citibank building transformed and given a new purpose.
I’m excited about the new music venue. It will bring something new and unique to Lewisham.
Safety is an important issue to me, and the introduction of new pathways and walking routes around the new shopping centre will help with this and make the area more pleasant for residents and visitors.
