The British Home
Indicative boundary
The Opportunity The British Home (TBH) is an independent charity founded in 1861 and granted a Royal Charter in 1894. For over 150 years, The British Home has cared for adults with severe disabilities and complex medical conditions supporting them through specialised nursing and social care. TBH wish to explore the potential and viability of rationalising their current operation onto part of their site in Streatham and thereby releasing the surplus land for alternative development, which would fund the cost of redeveloping their facility. Their preferred approach would be to contract with a single party to deliver both elements of any new development on the site to drive value, ensure efficiencies and to reduce disruption to the residents of the home.
Lessening the impact upon their residents as part of any future project is a key requirement for TBH and a robust strategy for continuity of service will need to be demonstrated by their selected development partner.
Location The property is located on Crown Lane in Streatham, a predominantly residential area in close proximity to Streatham Common and the exclusive Ryecroft Road.

Description The site area is approximately 1.29 hectares (3.43 acres) and consists of a series of interconnecting buildings which are part locally listed, a Chapel which is Grade II listed, as well as ancillary car parking and grounds. The Home itself currently has 80 bed-spaces which are fully occupied and would need to be re-provided as part of the project. We understand that with careful planning the current residents of the care home could be moved within the current building whilst the refurbishment/redevelopment is undertaken. This will require further consideration as part of any next steps.
Planning Strategic planning advice from BGVA has been ongoing, with pre-application discussions held with Lambeth Council with regards to the potential for future redevelopment of the site.
Expression of Interest TBH is seeking initial expressions of interest by the 5th August 2016.
The principle of either C2 or C3 development on the site (including intensification and sub-division) is supported. However, there should be no loss of C2 residential accommodation that meets a specific ‘community need’ unless replaced by equivalent new C2 residential accommodation. In accordance with planning policy, the Council’s position is that the Grade II Listed chapel must be retained. The Locally Listed Building should also be retained with the strong possibility of façade retention being acceptable. The demolition of the 1990’s Block, Holly House, and the Kitchen Block is broadly acceptable. In the absence of a significant public benefit case, and based on the information they have to date, Officers do not consider there to be justification for a departure to this policy position. This should be the basis on which future development proposals are made. There may be the possibility of an improved position in the future.
