The John Lewis Partnership has been granted planning permission to build 353 homes and demolish and rebuild its Waitrose store near Bromley South station.

The homes will be built as part of a £500m joint venture between the John Lewis Partnership (JLP) and the real estate company Abrdn, which they formed in 2022 to deliver 1,000 homes in Bromley, West Ealing and Reading.

The scheme will deliver 323 build-to-rent homes and 30 will be London Living Rent. The London Living Rent units will offer discounted rent rates, up to 50% less than comparable homes on the open market.
