Greener Delawyk – light case study

Location

Delawyk Crescent
Herne Hill
London Borough of Southwark
SE24 9JD

Description

The Greener Delawyk scheme incorporated multifunctional SuDS features and depaving to create greener spaces for residents and wildlife to enjoy in a Council housing estate dominated by impermeable surfaces. Incorporating approximately 270 m 2 of new SuDS and enhanced green space, the scheme demonstrates how relatively small-scale interventions can deliver substantial benefits. Southwark Council collaborated with the London Wildlife Trust to develop the scheme, together with input from local residents.

SuDS used

  • Rain garden with downpipe diversion
  • De-paving and mini-wildflower meadow
  • Permeable paving footpaths.
