I don't think that's what the information says. It says that half of the flats will

I don't think that's what is being proposed It, at least going by what is said here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ru5ioQ17lVcEQD1yGfdlQCOuQ4y2ZoVm/view


It says that half of the flats will prioritised for (existing) local tenants in housing need (of which there are about 40 on the Lordship Lane Estate). It doesn't say the others will be sold or rented at market (ie high) rate. Neither does it say anything about top half or bottom half.


Where are you getting your information that the top flats will be sold on the private market? Is there other info from the council that says that?

There's a precedent for that, the building at the elephant. Can't remember the nickname but it has 3 turbines at the top that have never worked?


Only the lower floors were for social housing

No, that's different. You're talking about Strata House, which was a private development on private land. A condition of planning permission was that a certain proportion of flats were designated as "affordable".

The proposed building is a Southwark development on land owned by Southwark.

    • No, signs of sense and scrutiny of "leaders" not knowing the impact of what they have done, so much so that every citizen in the UK will suffer financially as a result of an incompetent, incoherent, unhinged Govt that's impact is effecting every citizen in the UK. Where things were being turned around by the last lot, this lot has already compromised all that work in its first 120 days in power. You may not like it but that's the truth.  We are never going to agree and actually Reeves, Rayner and Starmer need to go, like yesterday. 
    • Worse than gb news   Signs of unhinged minds 
    • This is why you are not the chancellor! Rachel Reeves won't be going anywhere until either she fixes things or Starmer needs someone to blame!
    • I fully agree. I hope you had some khinkali (Georgian dumplings), they're fantastic! They used to have only meat ones but now they also have mushroom ones and they're great. I always try to fit in a honey cake at dessert. Overall I appreciate that their food and menu seems to only improve with time.
