They are not flats, like West Ealing they are much-needed new rental homes.
Only controversy is from people who bought their house 30 years ago and literally don’t know / care how difficult / expensive it is for people to get housing now.
Time to just get on and build.
>the “proposal is overly large and tall and will therefore have a negative harmful” on views in the area.
Views of what? The railway line? The Wetherspoons??
It’s ridiculous that in this country every Tom Dick and Harry is able to block much-needed housing and infrastructure upgrades. The whole planning system needs a complete overhaul.
Build, build, BUILD.
New buildings should have a minimum number of floors to maximize units per ground space. This is South London and not a central billionaire tower like New York keeps building.
I live in Bromley. They just need to get on with it. Looks like a massive opportunity for Bromley!
Fuck nimbys build flats
Always the same people that like to moan about high rise and “loss of characters/community spirit”and would happily vote in favour of uncontrolled immigration. London wouldn’t be such a diverse and international city these people love without high density housing solutions to house everyone. Else how are we gonna live? Eternal urban sprawl like LA so everyone could have a garden to hold hands and sing Kumbaya in?
Time for a NIMBY tax. Want to block anyone else’s chances of owning a home / starting a family etc? That’s fine, but you’ll pay for it. And that money will go to developing land and infrastructure elsewhere.
All I’d ask is does it have any other infrastructure going with it to support the extra crudely say 800 people that are going to be dropped in on this (e.g. allowing for some singles, some couples and some families out of the 353). I’d have no issue with things like this as long as there is some sort of wider development plan to support things such as this (e.g. maybe another bus stop or two, making stations a touch longer, charging points for cars, does it need a new Doctors Surgery or School etc.). None of those would be material reasons to object though.

Die NIMBYs, die
