"A village on the edge of London is up in arms over a developer's plans to build 650 homes on more than 120 acres of green belt land. Developer Welbeck Strategic Land wants to build a large residential neighbourhood, complete with a care home, a community centre and public green space, at Biggin Hill in Bromley. The plans were revealed after Welbeck asked Bromley Council how much information the developer should provide in an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)"
"It was formed in 2001 to protect the green belt from inappropriate development after an application was put in by Linden Homes to build on the land. It was subsequently refused. The group stated: This is a treasured area of green belt, full of wildlife where local residents enjoy all the benefits of the green environment vital to their wellbeing"
Welbeck Strategic Land proposes a residential neighbourhood on over 120 acres of Aperfield Green, Biggin Hill, including up to 650 homes, a care home, a community centre and public green space. The company sought guidance from Bromley Council on Environmental Impact Assessment information requirements. The planning portal entry validated on October 17 has attracted over 660 objections and six letters of support. Objectors cite loss of green belt, wildlife, footpaths, bridleways, and mental wellbeing. The Aperfield Green Belt Action Group, formed in 2001, opposes development. Planning documents assert Pimlico Wood and Withins Wood would be retained and linked with new woodland planting.
