Woodland Road: Architect/Developer Drop-in Session
In response to the strong objections raised by residents about the planning application to build 12 housing units in 4-storey blocks on land adjacent to 114 Woodland Road SE19, the developers Metropolitan Housing Trust have announced plans for a public meeting on Tuesday 8 December 2009.
Residents raised concerns about the substantial impact on parking, the street scene and housing density arising from the development at a public meeting earlier this month. Like many others, Andrew submitted a letter of objection on behalf of Gipsy Hill’s three ward councillors. CLICK HERE to download a copy of the letter.
Earlier this week, like many other residents, we received an email from the architects HTA. They are acting on behalf of Metropolitan Housing Trust and confirmed the details of the meeting:
“In response the number of objections that have been received regarding our proposals for the site at 116 Woodland Road our client, Metropolitan Housing Trust, has decided to hold a public consultation event so that we can discuss your concerns with you prior to the scheme being heard at the Dulwich Community Council in the New Year.
You and your neighbours in the immediate vicinity of the site will all shortly be in receipt of a flyer to advertise this event but, in the meantime, I thought I would let you know the details.
We will be holding a drop-in session at the Upper Norwood Library, 39-41 Westow Hill, between 4.30pm and 7.30pm next Tuesday 8th December.”
If you have any questions or views about the proposal, please do attend if you can. Alternatively, if you are not able to attend in person, please contact Andrew on agibson@lambeth.gov.uk or Carl on carlbelgrove@gmail.com and they will represent your interests when they go to event.
We will post a review of the event on this site next week.
[...] Following an open evening at Upper Norwood Library, the developers have now submitted revised plans to Southwark Council in response to these concerns raised by councillors and residents. Copies of the revised plans can be found below. This includes using lighter bricks, changes to the windows and reducing the height of the roofline by between 35 and 60cm. However, we are disappointed that nothing has been done to address the impact of parking stress on Woodland Road and surrounding streets. [...]
