Lewisham Characterisation Study
View all projectsTo prepare this Characterisation Study for the London Borough of Lewisham, we undertook borough-wide analysis and developed a set of descriptions of the physical, environmental and social composition of the borough, its history, places, streets and buildings. This analysis provides an understanding of the particular attributes which make the borough of Lewisham what it is today and how its character varies across the borough. Prepared to assist the Council’s new Local Plan as an evidence base document, this study has been used to inform a character and ‘place-based’ approach to managing growth in the borough.
