KENNINGTON STAGE-Woodlands Nursing Home 1 Dugard Way London LONDON SE11 4TH
THE DEVELOPER IS SEEKING PLANNING PERMISSION IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS COMMENT ON THIS LIVE PLANNING APPLICATION BEFORE LAMBETH COUNCIL DECIDE THE APPLICATION
Developer Lifestory has submitted a revised planning application for 126 flats across bulky blocks between 3 and 14 storeys on the former Woodlands Nursing home site in Kennington.
Full details of the planning application and a feedback/comments form can be found here
The Kennington Stage proposals are for the:
- Demolition of the former care home;
- Redevelopment of the former Woodlands site retaining the Masters House and associated ancillary buildings;
- Construction and siting on the site of a central residential block ranging in height up to 14 storeys (47m tall), to provide residential units, together with servicing, disabled parking, cycle parking, landscaping, new public realm, a new vehicular and pedestrian access, and associated works.
- Development to include 126 residential units comprising 26 x studio,41 x 1-bed, 50 x 2-bed, 7 x 3-bed units. Of these 126 units; 109 will be private market (87% of the units) and just 13% will be "affordable" comprising of 11 rental units and 6 intermediate (shared ownership) units.
- Vehicular access via Renfrew Road and refuse vehicles exiting onto Dante Road and Brook Drive.
OUR CONCERNS
The "Kennington Stage" proposal is overbearing and its massing, scale and the poor design of the development is not appropriate for a small constrained site in an urban low-rise part of Kennington. If approved it will set a precedent for more similar and taller buildings across Kennington.
We want a lower density development that would protect the significance of the listed buildings, Conservation Areas and respect the prevailing building heights, density and massing of the surrounding residential properties.
An example of a more sensitive and proportionate development, a mixed and balanced community is already evident and it is possible as demonstrated by the Bellway/Water Tower Estate Development which is adjacent to the "Kennington Stage" proposal site.
PLEASE ACT NOW!
There is a short window to comment on this LIVE PLANNING APPLICATION before Lambeth Council decide the application.
