Willow Way | Consultation

Learn more about our early plans to transform part of what we are referring to as ‘Site A’ adjacent to the Willow Way business park in Sydenham

Kitewood is bringing forward plans for what we are referring to as ‘Site A’ adjacent to the Willow Way business park in Sydenham. Our ambition is to re-provide and enhance the existing workspace on this site and deliver new homes above.

Our vision for Site A

There is an opportunity to deliver something exciting at Site A by taking the first steps towards fulfilling Lewisham Councils’ ambition to create an employed-led new ‘mixed-use community’ at Willow Way.

Our proposals for Site A can be summarised as:



Providing new workspaces and jobs

Our ambition is to deliver enhanced and better-quality workspace that would be able to accommodate light industrial uses and office space. We want these spaces to be flexible and accommodating to a more diverse range of businesses within the borough. The proposals would create space for around 1,450sqm of employment floorspace across 3 units and offer the opportunity to increase the amount of employment on this site.



Delivering new, affordable homes

Our proposals for Site A would see 60 new homes delivered, with 50% of these to be affordable housing, meeting the Council’s targets. These homes would help to meet the shortfall of housing across the borough and will include a mix of Affordable Rent and Shared Ownership Homes.

For further information, please download the consultation pack that was presented in December 2022, here.

Connecting to the wider masterplan

Site A is contained and is accessible directly from Willow Way. There is the opportunity, however, to connect Site A to future developments across the wider ‘Employment Location’ and increase permeability through the area.

These public realm improvements are intended to make Willow Way a safe and inviting space for all users. In terms of what the wider masterplan may comprise, this is our current thinking; however we now want to hear your thoughts at this early stage to ensure your view can be incorporated as the plans emerge:
