Construction now underway on New Cross student block

Work is now underway at 333-337 New Cross Road to build 63 student rooms.

Last week saw details of building materials uploaded to Lewisham Council’s planning portal.

In recent months a crane was set up and building work begun on site near The Venue club.

It’s a pretty decent bit of in-fill, replacing two very low rise buildings. A William Hill and takeaway previously existed on site. Two new commercial units are included below homes.

Plans were initially approved in 2020.

Proportions are decent and 63 new students will help local businesses, and hopefully won’t complain about nearby nightlife.

As a private renter living costs are very high and ads bring in relatively little to the site. I run it alone, and you can support me through Paypal with a one-off or monthly donation here

Many thanks
