The site's history ## A former garage site, rebuilt as 23 council homes. Rye Hill Park Garages was a London Borough of Southwark council garage site off Rye Hill Park, beside 2 to 32 Peckham Rye. Planning application 17/AP/3006 authorised 23 social-rent homes across two linked blocks of four and six storeys, granted on 7 February 2018. Southwark Council was client, developer and housing provider; Weston Williamson + Partners was architect and Calford Seaden lead consultant. The main works contract was approved in October 2019 and site preparation started in 2020, with the estate's mature plane tree retained and pruned through the works. The programme extended through extensive asbestos removal, an unidentified Virgin Media cable, changed building regulations and enhanced fire-safety requirements. The buildings reached roof level at a topping-out ceremony in June 2023. Rye Hill Park was highly commended in the 2018 Planning Awards, Award for Planning for Affordable Housing, in a submission by Weston Williamson + Partners recognising the scheme's planning and housing proposition, not Dmitro's package. The completed homes are designed with insulation and airtightness performance above the minimum building-regulation requirement, with roof-mounted photovoltaic panels generating electricity. - Planning permission granted: 7 February 2018 - Homes delivered: 23, all social rent - 2018 Planning Awards: Highly commended ## 08 · The second linked block's corner on Rye Hill Park, its brick continuing the street's existing datum. ![Rye Hill Park's second linked block on its street corner, brick facade with balconies above a red-brick ground floor](https://dmitrodevelopment.co.uk/assets/projects/rye-hill-peckham/rye-hill-peckham-fallback.jpg) The corner of Rye Hill Park's second linked block, its upper brick facade sitting above a red-brick ground-floor band that continues the datum of the surrounding Peckham Rye streets. ## Rye Hill Park, delivered for Southwark Council.
