News reaches us that the planning application to build 70 or so flats on the land between Blairderry Road, Barhill Road and Ardwell Road has been refused.
Many residents in the area were opposed to the plans and the Streatham Society had also made adverse comments. These were backed up by all three ward councillors who had insisted that the council take the application to a public committee if Planning Officers were going to recommend approval.
But earlier than expected Planning Officers have refused the application. So far we have yet to hear on what grounds the application was refused. But as soon as we hear we will publish the reasons so we know what to expect if the developers decide to re-submit.
And the bigger question now for residents is: "What do we want to see on this site?" It is a run-down patch-work of warehouses and offices. So far the developers haven't included the garage/car wash on Ardwell Road but we understand they are considering buying them out.
Please let us know what you would like to see - our email addresses are on the right.

What a great shame- the site is now a derelict eyesore and likely to be occupied by squatters soon. Hopefully new plans will be approved soon so that it can be turned into nice tidy, much needed, social housing.
