The feasibility study for which funding was raised by Peckham Lido CIC back in 2016 was finally published in April 2021 (accessible via the Peckham Lido Facebook page)..
The study outlines four options (the fourth of which is to take no further action) and states a preference for Option two which would involve: Heated lido and café, possibly supplemented by a gym and fitness centre; a 125+ years lease from Southwark council with no break or restrictive clauses; and a yearly contribution from the council for capital expenditure.
Option two, the study says, would have a 'greater impact' than the other three options on the Common, which is protected Metropolitan Open Land. Overall development and construction costs are estimated at £6m.
The feasibility study does not mention that, as part of the flood alleviation project works, planning permission has been given by Southwark Council and the Secretary of State for re-landscaping the northern end of the Common (including the site of the old lido) with new pathways and biodiversity areas.
