Plans to redevelop the Falmouth Road Group Practice were approved by Southwark Council’s Planning Sub-Committee B on 15th June 2021 when it voted to approve developer Oak Narwana’s redevelopment plans.  The proposals to demolish the existing doctor’s surgery and replace it with a new surgery capable of supporting a doubling of the patient role, provide 41 new homes, including 41% on-site affordable housing in a four-eight storey building and improve access to Dickens Square Park were approved six-one.

In its role as public affairs advisor to Oak Narwana Carvil arranged a series of meetings with local stakeholders both within Southwark Council, NHS Southwark CCG and the local community both to develop the proposals and to find alternative premises for the existing health centre during construction.  Carvil also arranged a two-day public exhibition to present the scheme, options to temporarily relocate the health centre and improvements to Dickens Square Park.
