There are 13 similar blocks of flats in Wimbledon Town Centre. If Merton Council grant prior approval to this application it will set a precedent, making it difficult for the council to object to other applications in the future. The extra storeys would permanently blight Wimbledon's skyline, while doing nothing to address the lack of affordable housing.
We, the undersigned, call on Merton Council to object to Planning application 20/P2723: 8 South Park Road on the grounds of appearance, amenity and effect on the nearby conservation area, and insist that a formal planning application be made.
