Rejection

A developer recently proposed to create four new residential towers in Abbey Wood. The project replace an existing car park as well as a pet hospital. The plan was for 272 homes in buildings rising 3, 8, 14 and 17 storeys. In addition there would have been new commercial space, a 59 spot car park, and a new pets hospital.

Local Councillors did not support the plan though. The rejection is based on the fact that the towers would be too high, the homes would be too expensive, and the project did not meet planning policies. The density was an issue. Councillors were also against the lack of family homes, just 28 on the whole site.

In total 35% of homes on the project would have been affordable. However the Council had concerns about whether local families would be able to afford them. They want to see developers create more housing for people within the Borough, including people who live locally who want to buy their own home.

The developer will have to rethink their proposals and take the Council’s thoughts into consideration.
