Block of 14 new flats on Norwood High St

The proposed block of flats

Developers have plans to demolish 90-96 Norwood High Street SE27 9NW  and build a 4 & 5 storey block on the corner with Rothschild Street. The new build will have 10 one-bed flats, 1 two-bed flat and 4 three-bed flats. The ground floor will remain in commercial use – in keeping with the council’s plans for a Creative Business Cluster along Norwood High Street.

The scheme includes a playground and a new mature tree – shown to be 4 storeys high in the drawings. There is no off-site parking but 20 secure cycle parking spaces. Other sustainable features include green living roofs,  bee hotel bricks and nesting boxes for swifts.

The flats are compact and there is no reference to affordable or social housing on or off-site.

The developers Design & Access statement includes a fascinating history of the area.

Future West Norwood & Future Lambeth

The Lambeth Local Plan, together with the London Mayor’s Plan forms the statutory basis for making planning applications decisions..

Lambeth is reviewing its Local Plan in consultation with local people. And this is now the last chance to have a say before the Lambeth’s draft Local Plan is independently examined by the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities &Local government (Robert Jenrick, MP for Newark, Nottinghamshire).  The deadline for comments is Friday 13/3/20.

See: https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/UKLAMBETH/bulletins/27932c6

Developers consult on plans for Windsor Grove

The Local Plan is an important document for improving the supply of housing across the borough and addressing climate change: it is 544 pages  and covers lots of detail.

Policy PN7 is the overall policy for West Norwood/Tulse on page 430 and promises Norwood High Street will get its own Special Planning Document  later this year as the West Norwood Creative Business Cluster. Policy ED3 is Key Industrial business Areas – KIBAs on page 132 & 476. In light of the numerous  local Thames Water leaks, Policy EN6, on page 245, on drainage and water management will be of interest to West Norwood residents.

Comments on the draft Lambeth Local Plan can be emailed to: localplan@lambeth.gov.uk  by the 13th March deadline.
