Poorly designed layout providing blank frontage onto public footpath by River Wandle

On 29 September 2017, planning permission was refused for application C2017/77482.   We are pleased that Sutton Council listened to the NDG and local residents about their concerns.  The main reasons for refusing are:-

  • The development would result in a poor quality street scene due to poorly designed flank walls fronting the public path along the River Wandle.
  • Loss of shared amenity areas from original approved development for affordable flatted block.
  • Development would result in unsatisfactory allocation of car parking across the site and unsightly on street parking contrary to the original approved plans.
  • The changes in this application are considered major and would therefore require a full planning application, not the minor amendment application that was submitted.
  • The full reasons can be read on Sutton Councils planning portal.

A Section 73 Minor Amendments application C2017/77482 has been submitted by Redrow to Sutton Council for changes to the proposed Phase 2 of the scheme.  Deadline to submit feedback was 18 August 2017.

Further changes were made to the plans for Phase 1.  We are pleased that the mill pond is back to the original size agreed and also the piece of land given over to the wetlands.  However we still disagree with the siting of the bridge, which should be as the original approved application.

C2016/74653 planning application was subsequently approved.
