Carvil was appointed by Joseph Homes to assist it with its redevelopment plans for at 25-33 Parkhouse Street including full re-provision of the existing commercial floorspace 130 new homes, including 35% on-site affordable housing and a green corridor to connect Parkhouse Street to Burgess Park to improve pedestrian access for local residents.  In its role as public affairs advisor Carvil arranged a series of meetings with local stakeholders within Southwark Council and the local community to develop the proposals and receive feedback.  Carvil also arranged a two-day public exhibition to present the scheme.  A planning application was submitted in March 2020.  Following extensive feedback received during post-submission consultation a Local Development Study was undertaken by the Council to masterplan development in the area and as a result Joseph Homes made a series of revisions to the scheme that involved a further round of community engagement with key stakeholders.  Those revisions were submitted in February 2021 leading to Southwark’s Planning Committee granting unanimous consent in October 2021.

Development of the housing will now be 100% affordable following Southern Housing Group taking over the residential aspects of the scheme.
