Housing association Peabody made a request for a scoping opinion in December 2015. The EIR report set out that the association was proposing to submit three outline planning applications and one detailed planning application.
The detailed planning application includes plans for Southmere Village and proposes over 500 new homes, a library, gym and nursery, and some space for retail and restaurants.
The three outline planning applications are for Binsey Walk, Corraline Walk and Sedgemere Road. These plans will see the delivery of over 1,000 new homes and approximately 10,000 square metres of commercial, retail and leisure space.
The plans cover the Abbey Wood and South Thamesmead housing zones, one of the allocated housing zones as set by the former London mayor, Boris Johnson. The proposed regeneration project will also see a new high street and improved links to Abbey Wood's Crossrail station.
According to a report on Planning Resource (registration required), Peabody has now submitted the four applications referred to in the EIR report.
"Clearly a significant amount of investment is being channelled into this area of London with the arrival of Crossrail, GLA funding for the Peabody proposals and the scheme falling within one of two allocated housing zones in this area," said planning expert Victoria Lindsay of Pinsent Masons, the law firm behind Out-Law.com.
"The second housing zone is being developed in partnership with Greenwich council and is expected to be submitted for planning approval in the summer. In total, 3,000 new homes are to be delivered by Peabody," she said.
