Southwark History
In 1965 the London Borough of Southwark, as we now know it, was formed when the former metropolitan boroughs of Bermondsey, Southwark and Camberwell were merged. It has a population of approximately 288,300 and around 120,400 households.
Parts of the Borough, such as the area around London Bridge, have some of the oldest architecture in London and unsurprisingly there are many listed buildings. The borough is currently undergoing a period of great change and major projects are underway in many areas such as Camberwell, Elmington and the Wooddene Estate.
The main areas in Southwark are: Brunswick Park, Camberwell Green, Cathedrals, Chaucer, College, East Dulwich, East Walworth, Faraday, Grange, Livesey, Newington, Nunhead, Peckham, Peckham Rye, Riverside, Rotherhithe, South Camberwell, South Bermondsey, Surrey Docks, The Lane and Village.
Lyondale Planning and Architecture has an excellent knowledge of the London Borough of Southwark and has completed various projects, both large and small, on sites including residential, commercial and retail in this location.
Southwark Planning & Conservation Areas
Conservation areas are sites of historical or architectural importance. Building and redevelopment can be a more complex process due to more planning regulations and constraints applying within such areas. However our highly trained staff have the expertise to address more challenging planning and design issues. We achieve the aims of our clients both on an aesthetic and functional level whilst adhering to regulations set out by the local planning authority.

Planning in Southwark
The London Borough of Southwark is a built up area currently undergoing a great deal of redevelopment. In fact it is estimated that around 40 per cent of the area is currently under construction. In recent years the famous Elephant and Castle area has undergone major transformation with more planned over the next few years including a 25 per cent minimum of affordable housing. Plans have been drawn up and talks are in progress for the regeneration of the Elephant and Castle shopping centre, along with improved leisure facilities. The ambitious and iconic The Shard in SE1 is located in this Borough.
Southwark Planning Applications & Appeals
There are approximately 65 planning applications submitted each week to the planning authority in Southwark, and about 4 appeals made each week.
Whilst planning permission can be refused for a number of reasons, Lyondale Planning and Architecture is well aware of the complexities that exist in developments located in conservation areas in Southwark. We liaise closely with both our clients and local planning authorities in order to assure customer’s needs are met whilst planning regulations are followed. We have also had high level of success at both at working on sites with challenging planning and design constraints and at winning appeals where planning permission was initially refused by the local planning authority.
