Update – 16 February 2023

Sutton Council have refused this application on the grounds that some of the flats are not compliant with minimal sizes according to the London Plan. You can read the Officer’s report and the refusal letter by clicking on the ‘view application’ button further below.

Developers are looking to convert the old medical practice into 1 flat and 5 studios. There is a question as to whether these are meeting local needs and also the controversial topic of parking. The proposal only provides adequate parking for 3 cars, meaning the rest will likely overspill into the Flowers Estate, which is the nearest area with no parking restrictions. Interestingly, a transport statement has been provided, but the dates they did their survey was restricted to evening only, which gives a false indication of availability.
