Home improvements for Almshouse residents

17 September 2025

A planning application to renovate Edward Alleyn House has been submitted to Southwark Council.

This is the culmination of many months of work to find a solution that balances residents’ needs and the heritage aspects of the building. A meeting was held with Almshouse residents to consult on the detailed plans and planning process. If permission is granted, the renovation will improve living standards for residents by enhancing insulation and cooling systems, improving access, upgrading bathroom and kitchen facilities and installing double-glazed windows. The Almshouse provides

one-bedroom apartments and studios for over 60s who meet the Charity’s criteria and who live in the area of benefit. Visit thedulwichalmshouse.org.uk for details.
