I attended a presentation by The Winston Group - owners of Wallington Square last night. Local businesses and other organisations such as the Council, Wandle Housing and local councillors were invited to view some early designs for their proposals to redevelop the Square. Cllrs Jayne McCoy and Joan Hartfield also attended.
On the whole, the plans looked attractive and could help 'lift' the look of this part of the high street, as well as provide additional housing. But I was unsure about the number of floors (4) overlooking Woodcote Road and about what looks like a fairly substantial new block at the Clarenden Road end of the Square. We were assured that our views would be taken on board before any planning application is submitted - possibly next month.
