Planning green light for Edward Alleyn House improvements

13 March 2026

Homes for residents at the historic building in the heart of Dulwich will be upgraded

The Dulwich Almshouse Charity has received planning permission for a programme of improvement works at Edward Alleyn House, marking an important step in ensuring the building continues to provide safe, comfortable homes for older residents in our community.

The approved plans will allow the Charity to modernise key areas of the property while preserving its historic character. The works are designed to enhance accessibility, improve energy efficiency, and support residents’ wellbeing - reflecting the Charity’s long standing ambition to upgrade the housing.

This milestone follows extensive consultation and careful planning, and it represents a significant investment in the future of the Almshouse.

As the project moves forward, the Charity will continue to keep residents and neighbours informed of plans and progress.
