Players warm up at Dulwich Hamlet's Champion Hill, south London
DULWICH HAMLET secured its “home and future in East Dulwich for the next 125 years” in the late hours of Monday night, when a council planning committee approved plans for its new stadium.
The south London club was locked out of its ground in 2018 during a dispute with landlords Meadow Residential, and their cause was taken up by local Labour MP Helen Hayes, then Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and even Rio Ferdinand, among others.
Hundreds at a time watched the online Southwark Council meeting, which was the final stage before plans for a new development at Champion Hill — including a new stadium, pitch, housing, and leisure facilities — go to the mayor’s office for approval.
