"The mayor of London has given the go-ahead to HLM’s mixed-use free school project in Bermondsey after it was rejected by the local authority.

"Boris Johnson called in the scheme in August which Southwark council described as overbearing.

It includes two schools on a site at 399 Rotherhithe New Road.

The application was from SCCD Developments.

The council's decision was rejected on the grounds that Southwark is in need of additional primary school places and housing.
