67 new homes completed on Copeland Road in Peckham

1 November 2022

Southwark Council has finished a new development on the site of a former car park in Peckham which provides 67 new high-quality homes. The development is a mixed-tenure site made up of 24 council homes, 18 shared ownership homes and 25 homes for private sale.  

The homes are built across three separate blocks, the tallest of which is seven storeys high. There is also a new multi-use games area at the back of the development which is open for all residents in the area to enjoy.

This development is one of many which Southwark Council is building across the borough to tackle the housing crisis locally. The council already met its target of starting construction on 2,500 new council homes by May 2022, and has plans to start 1,000 more by 2026.

Cllr Darren Merrill, Cabinet Member for Council Homes and Homelessness, said, “I’m delighted to see the high-quality finish on these new homes which are in an enviable location in a vibrant area. These new homes are light, spacious and well-designed and will make a real difference to the lives of local people”.

In line with Southwark Council’s local lettings policy, at least 50 per cent of the new council homes will be offered to local tenants in housing need already living in the local area. This means they can stay close to friends, family and the services they already use. The remaining homes will be let to others on the council’s wider housing waiting list.
