Pop-up housing village in Deptford

We have planning permission to create a pop-up village in Deptford, modelled on the award-winning PLACE/Ladywell scheme.

Our plans for a third innovative pop-up village for residents in housing need have been approved.

The new development will be on Edward Street in Deptford and will consist of 34 flats with two and three bedrooms to take homeless families out of nightly paid temporary accommodation.

There will also be a community nursery and a commercial space, as well as a communal courtyard.

We are currently looking to procure a manufacturer to deliver this scheme. We plan to start the new development in autumn 2019 and expect to complete it in 2020.

PLACE/Ladywell

PLACE/Ladywell is an award-winning housing scheme for 24 homeless families, affordable work space for small businesses and a community café.

It has won Best Housing Initiative at the 2017 LGC Awards, ‘Best Temporary Scheme’ at the 2016 New London Awards and Mayors Prize at the 2016 New London Awards.
