Berkeley Homes development BLOCKED – Campaign wins first major battle
Southwark Council rejects Aylesham Centre proposal following SHAPE Anti-Berkeley Party, 15 July
PECKHAM SAID NO!
Up to 50 people came to the Anti-Berkeley Party followed by a packed out planning committee meeting which went on for more than 5 hours.
💥Decision on Aylesham Centre site – REFUSED
⭐️Planning committee refused the application with three reasons – Heritage, affordable housing, retail space. The business relocation strategy is to return to committee if the Inspector approves the scheme.
⭐️Developers have already gone to appeal to the Planning Inspector, inquiry scheduled for October.
⭐️ACA will be crowd funding for legal representation.
There is no doubt whatsoever that the application was refused because of the strength of the campaign – ACA has been fighting for five years.
And in the last year the SHAPE Coalition has called three lobbies of the Council, a 100 strong public meeting two demonstrations – the one in March was 600 people – and a party!
👏Thank you everyone who made this result possible.
We prevented the Council from setting a dangerous precedent by approving a scheme with 12% ‘affordable’ housing.
But the system is stacked against us. We need a planning and housing revolution!
What is the next stage?
Berkeley has appealed to the Planning Inspector, so the government will now decide what’s best for Peckham. The undemocratic planning regime has decreed that we can’t decide for ourselves. This is why we are fighting not just for Peckham, but for a revolution in housing and planning policy where people, not profit, come first.

SHAPE calls for Peckham Takeover Saturday 31 May
The excitement was building as SHAPE supporters hit the streets on Saturday. 11 supporters were mass leafleting and the mood was high to to stop the Berkeley Homes development.
SHAPE also met up with Peter Apps this week, author of “Show Me the Bodies“, to talk about the campaign and what the proposed development means for Peckham. The Berkeley Aylesham Centre proposal, at 12% so-called affordable housing, was heading for refusal at planning committee. That’s why the developer decided to take its chances with the Planning Inspector instead. A big F.U. to the local Councillors and local people. Let’s keep up the pressure, on the council the developer and the government!

Public meeting in Peckham on 15 May calls for developments with 50% council housing
Campaigners in Southwark are calling on the housing movement to support their public meeting on 15 May and their ‘Peckham Takeover on 31 May.
This follows their 600-strong demonstration in March against overdevelopment and for council housing. Now SHAPE are pledged to take over the centre of Peckham at the end of May.
Developer Berkeley Homes has put in an appeal to the Planning Inspector. Their Aylesham Centre proposal was waiting for local planning approval, but the appeal (on the grounds of ‘non-determination’) means the proposal will be decided by the Secretary of State or the Planning Inspector, rather than the local planning committee.
Campaigners were demanding refusal from the committee, which will still take place in June. Southwark Housing and Planning Emergency (SHAPE) was disappointed that local people have been bypassed by the developer and has pledged to fight on. Southwark Defend Council Housing described the developer’s move as “Arrogant, anti-democratic and aggressive.”

The public meeting will hear from Zoe Garbett Green AM, Andreea Vasilcin, Aylesham Community Action, Neil Tasker, Southwark UNITE and Carmen and Michael, SE16 No Price on Culture with Councillor David Parton, Rye Lane Ward.
All three Labour Councillors in the ward affected by the scheme have urged residents to object to it, and Peckham MP Miatta Fahnbulleh stated she would stand with the community against the proposal if the amount of affordable housing remained at 12%.
The proposal by Berkeley Homes promises just 12% ‘affordable’ housing in a development that residents say is not meant for them. Sixteen tall towers, up to 20 storeys high, with little consideration for the heritage of the area, local independent traders or the environment.

SHAPE said:
‘We are living through a housing emergency. Despite huge developments across the borough, we have more people on the council housing waiting list than we had twenty years ago. Berkeley Homes are only offering an insulting 12% ‘affordable’ housing on the new Aylesham Centre – that’s just 77 ‘affordable’ homes out of nearly nine hundred and they might not even be social rent!’
We are also losing valuable small businesses and cultural amenities. We have already seen the damage done to independent traders at the Elephant and Castle and the Borough Triangle scheme puts the future of the traders at Mercato market into doubt. PlushSE16 was a great cultural and social hub in Rotherhithe, but it’s been lost too, to make way for a 48-storey tower with only 25% social rented homes.’
It’s time to end developments which take so much from us, and don’t even give us homes we can afford to live in.’
Siobhan McCarthy, Aylesham Community Action (ACA), said
‘The displacement of local communities and traders, huge mega developments placed in an area with no thought towards what exists already, creating a them and us feel to the community – this is all too high a price to pay (especially in Peckham with the planned Aylesham development). And for what? A disgustingly low amount of social housing, and ‘affordable housing’, and huge amount of developer profit. We need to demand change and now.’
Tanya Murat, Southwark Defend Council Housing (SDCH), said
‘Now is the time for a different kind of housing policy. The market cannot deliver the homes we need, only council housing can do that. We have to send a message to this government, and to Southwark Council, that we won’t accept any more crumbs off the table. Stop submitting to the rule of developers. Their profits are not more important than people’s homes’.
Jerry Flynn, 35% Campaign, said:
‘The Aylesham is right at the heart of Peckham and its redevelopment will shape the whole area for decades to come. Southwark Council must make it clear to Berkeley Homes that its derisory 12% so called affordable housing offer will be rejected. Southwark has a target of 50% affordable housing and that is what should from Berkeley Homes. This should be all council housing if we are ever to reduce our huge council housing waiting list.’
SHAPE’s demands
SHAPE’s main demands are an end to overdevelopment and more council housing – 50% for developments on private land and 100% on council land. It also wants an end to estate demolition and the sale of council homes and an end to the displacement of local traders for developments of unaffordable housing.
SHAPE (Southwark Housing And Planning Emergency) is an umbrella group of housing campaigns and activists from across Southwark.

Over 600 people join Southwark housing and planning emergency demonstration
Homes for All joined and spoke the demonstration called by SHAPE – Southwark Housing and Planning Emergency
Over 600 marched for council housing and for justice for Southwark’s diverse communities. Speakers stressed that the community in Peckham will not submit to the rule of developers. A large range of groups came to express solidarity with the people of Southwark including: Aylesham Community Action; Peckham Vision; Latin Elephant; Southwark Group of Tenants Organisation; Southwark Defend Council Housing; South London Stand Up to Racism; Southwark UNITE; Housing Action Southwark and Lambeth (HASL); Southwark Notes; Plush SE16 No price on culture; London Renters Union (Lewisham Branch) ; Southwark Acorn and many more.
The demonstration united people of all ages and backgrounds in an angry but carnival-like procession. Highlights included the local drummers, a choir and a massive boost to the demo when HASL’s 60 to 80 members joined at Burgess Park, chanting “3,4,5” which is the number of bedrooms they are fighting for Southwark to rehouse them in.
Speakers included Local Labour Councillor David Parton who expressed his strong opposition to Berkeley Homes’ Aylesham Centre proposal – which is now due to provide an insulting 12% so called-affordable homes in a scheme of 877 flats. Local Lib Dem group Leader on Southwark Council, who is a ward Councillor where the Borough Triangle overdevelopment is proposed, also spoke and brought along other Councillors. Speakers from Stand Up to Racism and others talked about the threat of the far right and the importance of standing in solidarity with migrants and refugees. Migrants didn’t cause the housing crisis!
The demonstration was featured on TV on both BBC London News and ITV London News, and in various publications.

SHAPE have called their next protest and will be taking the arguments direct to the council.
We urge all Homes for All supporters to join them.
SHAPE Protest!
Wednesday 19 March, Tooley Street Council Offices, SE1 2HZ, 6pm.
Homes for People – Not for Profit!
Stop the megadevelopments!
SHAPE has also agreed to support the lobby of parliament called by Homes for All on Wednesday 26 March at 11am.
Homes for All backs Southwark Housing and Planning Emergency (SHAPE coalition)
Homes for All heard from the SHAPE Coalition on Saturday. They are planning a demonstration on 1 March and are seeking support from housing campaigners in the capital and further afield. SHAPE say the developments approved and planned in Southwark, and Peckham in particular, have major implications for the housing crisis elsewhere.
Berkeley Homes is proposing just 12% so-called affordable housing on the Aylesham Centre Peckham development – a proposal that includes 16 massive buildings, up to 20 storeys high in the centre of Peckham’s shopping street and beyond. There will be 877 new homes but only 77 will be “affordable”. If this development is approved, either by the Council or on appeal, this will send a message to developers everywhere – ‘Build whatever you like, your profits come first‘ This is a national issue and it requires a radical challenge to this government.
URGENT!!! Aylesham Community Action are calling a demo to oppose the Aylesham Centre development – 3pm, Saturday 8 February, Peckham Square.
We regard this offer as a deep insult to the people of Peckham and Southwark…we… seek to defeat this proposal and others, like Borough Triangle, which aim to increase the number of luxury flats and displace the local traders, much like the already approved development at Elephant and Castle Shopping Centre… We do not believe developer profits should be prioritised. That’s why our slogan is “Stop overdevelopment, homes for people, not for profit”.
From SHAPE Open Letter to Rye Lane Councillors, 13 January 2025
This is a call-out to all housing groups, trade unionists and people who are affected by the lack of genuinely affordable housing. We have to fight for council housing. It is the only answer to the housing emergency, and we expect our political leaders to back us and get out of bed with the developers.
SHAPE’s demands
1. No to overdevelopment – Is it too high or too dense? NO!
2. 50% council housing on private land. 100% council housing on council land
3. No more fake consultations. We want genuine tenant, resident and local peoples’ involvement in the plans
4. Stop unsafe and poorly built development
5. Stop the demolition and sell-off of council housing – Refurbishment not demolition
6. Requisition or acquire empty homes
7. Protect and improve our estates, community facilities and town centres
8. Employ direct labour – give workers the power to challenge unsafe building work
9. Act on the Climate Emergency now. No unsustainable building, no loss of green space
10. Stop displacement of traders for unaffordable housingIf you agree, come to the demos, promote and support – and think about setting up a Housing and Planning Coalition in your own area.
Siobhan McCarthy, Aylesham Community Action said:
Private developers have come to Southwark and destroyed communities in order to make profit, without providing anywhere near enough social housing. We are fighting this battle right now in Peckham.
Tanya Murat, Southwark Defend Council Housing said
Emergency action is required. Instead of letting developers continue to get away with destroying council housing and building more and more luxury flats, Southwark Council should refuse unsustainable luxury developments, fight for council housing and protect our local communities.

‘Securing the Future of Council Housing’ Response from Defend Council Housing
In a new report Securing the Future of Council Housing, 20 large Council landlords say: “the costs they need to maintain their council homes outstrip the income they have to pay these costs.”
Defend Council Housing welcomes this alarming Report. It sets out the threat to the future of council housing from under-funding of housing revenue accounts (HRAs). The Local Government Association estimates Councils will have HRA deficits of £3 billion over the next ten years.
Securing the Future for Council Housing interim report calls on Government to
- Give stock-owning Councils a one-off payment of £644 million to compensate for the difference between increasing costs and rental income
- Reopen the 2012 ‘debt-settlement’ (when the new ‘self-financing’ system was introduced) and readjust the ‘debt’ allocated to Councils
- Introduce a 10-year rent settlement
- Reintroduce ‘rent equalisation’
- Invest in a new Green and Decent Homes programme “to meet the government’s climate, housing and growth objectives”, “on a similar scale to the original Decent Homes Programme”
- This should “commit to providing this £12 billion over the next five years” to cover the cost of bringing all homes up to Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) Rating C, addressing fire safety issues and meeting the original Decent Homes Standard.
- Provide £23.5 billion capital funding for decarbonising existing council housing.
- Reform Right To Buy to cut the loss of homes and allow councils to use receipts as they wish.
Defend Council Housing welcomes most of the demands and calls on these councils and others to work with them, and other tenants and residents, trade unions and housing campaigners, to make these demands a reality.
DCH's response says many of these demands are welcome but councils should go further and demand debt cancellation and the abolition of Right to Buy. The risk to tenants of failure to invest in council housing is very real and even worse than set out in the report. Tenants should not be further punished by increasing rents and service charges above inflation. DCH calls on councils to join with tenants, trade unions and housing campaigners to pressure government to make positive changes in council housing finance and management - the only way to end the housing crisis.
DCH says:
Debt cancellation
When Council housing finance was reorganised by Government in 2012, the new ‘self-financing’ system redistributed the combined existing housing debt between local authorities. Defend Council Housing and a range of other organisations including the Local Government Association, called instead for debt cancellation. Tenants had paid more in rent that the outstanding debt for previous house building programmes. In the 25 years to 2008 council tenants paid in to central Government £91 billion in rent, and in return Councils received ‘allowances’ of £60 billion. We think the time has come to press Government again for debt cancellation, which would end the historic robbery of tenants’ rents, and release an extra £1.3 billion a year to invest in existing and new council homes.
Decarbonising council housing
Councils are right to call for government funding, without which existing stock will not be decarbonised, destroying any prospects of achieving net zero.
Right to Buy
Restricting eligibility for Right ToBuy would be an improvement on the status quo, but the easiest way to stop the loss of stock would be to end RTB, as the devolved administrations have done in Wales and Scotland.
‘Rent equalisation’
We oppose any return to ‘rent equalisation’. This would be designed to introduce above-inflation council rent increases. When previously imposed, rents were driven up towards housing association rent levels (in part to try and overcome tenant resistance to privatisation of council housing stock through ‘transfer’ to housing associations). Rent increases were way above inflation and increases in earnings. More recently, it has been shown that for many tenants (especially but not only those on district heating networks) combined rent and service charges have increased beyond affordability. Some tenants face eviction because they cannot pay service charge increases of sometimes 200% or 300%. What we need today is a commitment that above-inflation rent and service charge increases will end. The existing Tory policy of CPI+1% should be abandoned.
Risk to tenants
Without central government funding HRAs sufficiently, Councils will not be able to maintain and renew existing housing, never mind fund a renaissance of council house building. The choice for the Government is “between increasing rents significantly, providing capital investment, or exposing tenants to intolerable safety and health risks.” But significantly increased rents and service charges and intolerable health and safety risks are already a reality for many tenants. Further rent increases will impoverish more tenants and drive up the housing benefit bill. Failure to deal with health and safety risks will undermine the future of council housing and increase the outrage of unacceptable living conditions.
Work together to demand change
Providing the capital investment on at least the scale proposed by Southwark Council and others in this Interim Report, is a necessary first step. We are keen to work with these and other councils, and with tenants and trade unions, to this end.
Don’t let government scapegoat migrants for the housing crisis
And here we are again!
Another in a long line of attempts by the government to distract attention from its failure to solve the housing crisis by attempting to blame others. In 2016 the Housing Act identified better-off council tenants as the problem and the governments solution was to be ‘Pay to Stay’, which was defeated by a combination of local authorities saying it would be unworkable, and thousands of tenants and residents in the campaign we initiated.
This time the government returns to a familiar refrain – ‘Don’t blame us for the lack of council housing, blame migrants!’ The Consultation on reforms to social housing allocations, published 30 January 2024 has been dubbed ‘British homes for British workers’. Yet it contains no plans to increase the overall supply of council housing, only to restrict access further.
Homes for All and Defend Council Housing have initiated a statement in response. Many of our concerns are shared by charities and organisations in the sector. Fourteen housing bodies signed a letter opposing ‘British homes for British workers’ policy. The letter highlighted that 90% of new social housing lettings go to UK nationals.
Please sign the statement (set out below)
This leaflet is available in hard copy. Contact us if you would like some to distribute.
Government not Migrants caused the housing crisis
It’s time to invest in council housing
The British homes for British workers agenda is racist and divisive. The proposed exclusions of people from applying for social housing, and the ill-considered and draconian new eviction provisions, both meet with our determined opposition. Neither of them will do anything for those people who have been systematically shut out of the housing market by the effects of past government policies.
Instead, we should celebrate the diverse communities on housing estates and in housing need. We call upon the government to increase the numbers of social homes by enacting the Five Point Plan endorsed by the campaigning organisations Homes for All and Defend Council Housing.
- Government investment in a mass council housing building programme, including requisitioning of empty homes and abolition of ‘right to buy’
- Rent controls and secure tenancies in the private rental sector. Robust regulation of housing associations
- New funding to repair and refurbish existing council housing – do not demolish
- Adequate funding for accessibility, fire safety, and for retrofitting and thermal insulation
- Planning for the people and the planet, and not for developers’ profits
The government misunderstands the purpose of housing policy
The government misunderstands the purpose of housing policy, which is to ensure that every household has a decent, secure, affordable home. Housing policy does not exist for the government to propagate a narrow and exclusive version of patriotism, or to devise double jeopardy schemes for those who have committed offences or engaged in behaviour that the government does not like, or to chuck people out of their homes. Housing policy does not exist to run deliberately divisive election campaigns. But all of that is happening here.
The housing crisis – for some
The housing problem is one of unequal distribution. The 2021 census reported that there were 24,782,800 households in England and Wales. There were 26,394,777 dwellings, so the number of homes exceeded the number of households by 1,611,977.
Action on Empty Homes report that numbers of long-term empty homes rose yet again in 2023 by 12,556 (or 5%) to 261,189, while long-term empties are now at their highest level since 2011 (excepting the special pandemic conditions of 2020).
The Consultation document repeatedly refers to the £11.5bn Affordable Homes programme. However, this provides very little new social rent housing. 40% of the 2022/23 output consists of ‘unaffordable affordable housing’ which is not open to those households in the highest need. Another 45% is Affordable Rent, and the Shelter report ‘A Capital in Crisis’ (2020) showed that London Affordable Rent (the variant of affordable rent most used in the capital) is not actually affordable for lower income working families. That leaves only 15% for new social rent homes, many of which are in fact funded to support demolitions.
Government policy is directly responsible for the scarcity of social rent housing, which the current policy initiatives purport to address.
Council housing pays for itself
The Five Point Plan requires government investment. The Shelter report ‘Building for our future: A vision for social housing’ has shown in much detail how investment in council housing pays for itself in reduced benefit costs, while enhancing social inclusion and averting the unnecessary costs of social disadvantage. This is true investment, bringing back a return greater than the initial outlay.
There are some easy wins
Some proposals in the Five Point Plan are easy wins. The Right to Buy has reduced the social housing stock and has caused the scarcity to which this consultation refers. It should be abolished, to preserve the social housing stock which we have now.
The government should revise and amend the National Planning Policy Framework (December 2023 version) paragraph 65 and footnote 31 which does NOT require replacement of the affordable housing floorspace demolished in redevelopment and regeneration schemes. There should be a full and tenure specific replacement of such homes in such circumstances, along with full compliance with affordable housing policies for the additional homes built.
Retain the space for local policy initiatives
These government proposals remove the local initiative and responsibility for many aspects of allocations. Many local authorities have retained a social awareness and a social conscience in declining to enact the exclusionary policies which have been permitted by the government on an optional basis in the past.
No to UK residence and local connection tests
Well over 80% of Britain’s housing is allocated solely by market mechanisms, creating and reinforcing inequalities which reveal the diversity of applicants and residents in social and affordable housing. The government should accept diversity and stop scaremongering about it. UK residence tests are unnecessary and show that the government does not want to assist those in the highest need – and is not concerned about equalities.
Local connection tests are discriminatory towards those who are homeless, but who have a limited connection to any specific area because of their homelessness. Mandatory tests would make that problem much worse, affecting the already socially excluded groups who are protected under the Equality Act, 2000.
No to mandatory income tests
The proposal for mandatory income tests ignores the strength that comes from mixed income communities in council housing and other social housing tenures. Nobody gains from making social housing a tenure exclusively for the poor.
In response to consultation question 22, consulting on minimum income thresholds for applicants ‘to incentivise being in work or to ensure that the household can afford the property’, we say that too many providers are already using affordability tests to keep the most economically vulnerable households out of social housing. These barriers to access are a leading cause of homelessness, and they operate in a structurally racist manner. See more detail in two detailed reports that show how Housing Associations refuse to house the poorest. The government should ensure that poor families have enough income to afford the rent and service charges on a suitable social rent property. Landlord Affordability Tests for such properties should be made illegal.
Anti social behaviour tests and eviction plans
Anti social behaviour already provides grounds for possession claims. There are anti social behaviour orders, introductory tenancies, starter tenancies and demoted tenancies. Research for the Home Office (The drivers of perceptions of anti-social behaviour) shows that nuisance behaviour is closely linked with social exclusion, which can be ameliorated by initiatives to improve the physical environment and to foster community cohesion. Instead of promoting exclusionary policies, the government should fund and develop mediation schemes to build the capacity of residents to resolve disputes, along with work, education, training, and cultural activities for alienated youth.
The government’s eviction plans make no reference to where people are going to live afterwards. But this is the question we need to be asking.
The crude and draconian requirement for social landlords to evict people gives the lie to the claim that the objective here is to house more ‘British’ people.
Proposed exclusions related to the Terrorism Act
The government is seeking to scaremonger people, using double jeopardy policies again. The definition of terrorism is questionable, owing more to selective foreign policy objectives than to housing policy. We therefore oppose the planned exclusions of applicants related to the Terrorism Act.
Conclusion
We note that the government has failed to secure the support of those who primarily own and manage social housing, and of those concerned with housing needs and homelessness, and immigrant and refugee welfare.
The National Housing Federation, Local Government Association, Association of Retained Council Housing, National Federation of ALMOs, PlaceShapers, Shelter, Crisis, St Mungo’s, Generation Rent, the No Accommodation Network, the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants, the Welsh Refugee Council, and Tai Pawb have all signed a letter of opposition.
These proposals should be rejected, and replaced by investment in homes and communities instead.
