I recently received a letter from Parkridge Securities and Canon UK Ltd enclosing artists impressions of their plans for Canon House in Melbourne Road, Wallington. As you may know, this site is subject to a new planning application.If first impressions are anything to go by, this is a much-improved proposal, which will, if approved, refurbish the building and provide 22 studio flats, 60 one-bedroom flats, 86 two-bedroom flats and 6 duplex units. There will also be ground floor premises for businesses and some car parking and cycle storage onsite.
One of my main concerns with the application is that there is minimal parking on site and this will clearly have an impact on local roads and residents, but in some respects it is the kind of development that should be encouraged in the town centre.
If you have any comments on the application, please drop me a line or write to Wallington North ward councillors Margaret Ali, Bruce Glithero or Joan Hartfield. You can find their contact details here: http://sutton.moderngov.co.uk/mgMemberIndex.asp?bcr=1
It is also very important to contact Sutton Council’s Planning Officers if you have views about this application. Letters should be addressed to: The Planning Department, London Borough of Sutton, 24 Denmark Road, Carshalton, SM5 2JG. Please ensure that you make reference to the planning application number - D2006/56209 - in your letter.
Full details of the application can be found on the Sutton Council website. Just follow this link: http://82.43.4.135/FASTWEB/detail.asp?AltRef=D2006/56209&ApplicationNumber=
