Closed in 2020, the magistrates’ court has


stood empty ever since, becoming a visual blight and a magnet for anti-social behaviour. The approved proposals reimagine the building and surrounding space to establish a new civic focal point for Camberwell. As well as providing much needed housing, the scheme will act as a neighbourhood hub for vibrant community uses. The development includes: • 134 high-quality homes, with 35.1% affordable housing — including 14 family-sized social rent units — tailored to meet Southwark’s housing needs. • Upgraded public plaza and 650m² of new public realm and green space reclaimed through the conversion of an adjacent dual carriageway.
