The MBCG has reviewed the latest set of proposals on the brewery scheme.
The consultation ends on 14th January 2023 and we are urging residents and groups to respond as a matter of urgency. There are two Applications:
- Application A – Ref 22/0900/OUT for the mixed-use scheme with 1085 residential units ranging from 3-9 storeys.
- Application B – Ref 22/0902/FUL for the new secondary school.
Main amendments/changes to Application A:
- Design changes to Building 1 – the cinema
- Reduced height of Block 10 on Mortlake High St.
- Scheme no 1071 residential units – reduced by 14 units from 1085 in the March 22 scheme
- Amendments and internal design changes to all residential blocks due to new fire regulation requirements (post Grenfell). Internal re-design of all blocks east of Ship Lane.
- Amended wheelchair access
- Small reductions in office and flexible use floorspace
- Amendments to lighting, drainage and refuse strategies (no refuse storage in basements now)
- Landscape updates.
Main amendments to Application B – the school:
- New over-heating analysis and green wall location
NOTHING HAS REALLY CHANGED.
The scheme is still unacceptably dense, imposing a new secondary school on the area which is not needed. The lack of a decent transport plan and a tiny number of affordable housing units is a disgrace.
ACT NOW, THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO VOICE YOUR CONCERNS.
MBCG have produced a template response that you may want to use in drafting your objection/comments: download it here. Please do try and personalise your comments as much as you can. Give examples of how the proposed scheme will affect you, i.e., density, traffic, air quality, impact on local infrastructure etc.
Please send in your comments on BOTH applications which will carry more weight.
You can either send your comments/objections as a letter addressed to the Planning Department at York House by 14th January or post online via the Council’s planning portal. You can click on to the links above which will take you to the portal.
This could be our last chance to have our say. Please do let the Council know what you think of the scheme before final decisions are made.
