Developers latest plans for the  West Norwood Tennis Club are for 58 flats  in a six-storey block at 128 Knights Hill SE27 0SR on the corner with Cheviot Road.   Half the flats are to be for sale and half for rent as ‘social’ housing. A small gym, two squash courts and  two  tennis courts are included in the plans. Local residents are petitioning the council against the scheme.
