Planning
Lewisham Council have been consulting with the local community and developing
a regeneration strategy for Loampit Vale as part of their exciting plans to revitalise
the heart of the Borough.
In April/May 2007 Lewisham Council consulted on which site the new leisure centre should
be located. In July 2007 the Mayor and Cabinet decided that Loampit Vale should be the
site of new leisure facilities as part of plans to transform the town centre.
The Council developed a brief for the Loampit Vale site and invited Barratt Homes to
work in partnership on the scheme. A planning application is currently being developed
and consultation taking place with key public agencies such as The Commission for
Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE), and the GLA.
A planning application was submitted in March 2009 and will be considered by the Planning department of the Council. Should the scheme get the go ahead, construction work will begin on site at the end of the year and Lewisham will have its new leisure centre in January 2012.
