Policy information sourced from Lewisham Town Centre Local Plan

LTC10 Mixed use

An appropriate mix of compatible land uses will be encouraged vertically and horizontally in Lewisham town centre. In particular, residential development located above ground floor retail and commercial uses will be supported (providing it meets policy LTC11). Proposals that do not supply a mix of uses will first be required to provide evidence of why this is not currently deliverable and also asked to demonstrate the future adaptability of buildings to a mix of uses. New development should be designed to accommodate active uses at ground floor level, with a significant amount of active window display and entrances.
