One part of the site, dubbed Plot 21, is protected from housing development – it is safeguarded for use as a wharf. But residents were shocked when plans for housing on the site emerged during a community engagement webinar, held in lieu of a face-to-face meeting because of Covid-19. They were told that not only does the developer have plans to build housing on Plot 21, Lewisham Council is asking Hutchison to do it. On top of this, when the webinar, held by Hutchison’s community engagement consultant Forty Shillings, was first published online, it was edited to leave out parts of what was said in relation to the council lobbying for housing.
