According to the Southwark Council planning application, the project granted permission in January 2008 consists of "Demolition of 3 Decima Studios, 17-19 Decima Street and Unit 5b, 20-28 Wild's Rents and erection of new 4 storey building plus basement comprising two (2) live work units; 1x3 bed with 63sqm office/studio space and 1x2 bed with 28sqm of office space, integral garage for 1 vehicle, cycle and waste storage facilities, plant room, carp pond, indoor lap pool, solar panel and greenhouse/hothouse." I quote this in full to illustrate the transition of Bermondsey in the early 2000's from light industry to expensive residential area. Image shows the new development when complete.
