Dear
All,
Harry
Briggs, one of our residents, is very concerned about the proposals by Berkeley
Homes (and Lambeth) for the redevelopment of the Oval gasholder site and has
prepared a short questionnaire that he hopes residents will complete.
He
has supplied the details below:
Berkeley
Homes are the developers of those green towers next to Vauxhall Bridge. They are trying to get planning permission to
redevelop a large 11-acre site in the heart of Kennington - including the Tesco
superstore and car-park, the Oval Gas-holders, and the area around the
Beefeater distillery on Montford Place.
Berkeley
Homes have proposed towers up to 18-storeys in the area, even though there is
no building more than 6-7 storeys in the area today. They say they have consulted the
neighbourhood, but many of those affected have not been consulted, and plans
seem to be moving ahead rapidly.
We
think this is a great opportunity to enhance the area - but are nervous that
Berkeley will put high-rises and profit before neighbourhood needs: so it would
be very helpful if we have lots of residents' input to this survey, to ensure
our voice is heard clearly:
It
should only take a minute - and please share it with any other neighbours in
the area who might not be on the mailing list.
