Bill Parry-Davies criticized Larochette's proposal for seven sub-standard studio flats, stating they are inadequate in terms of space, noise, and ventilation, essentially creating future slums.
Community blog OPEN Dalston vehemently opposed the new flats, highlighting the lack of affordable accommodation and the absence of net community benefit in Larochette's plans.
Cllr Zoe Garbett expressed surprise at Larochette's renewed application for flats, noting a previous conversation that led her to believe such plans wouldn't be pursued further.
The community campaign Save Ridley Road previously forced the abandonment of Larochette's redevelopment plans, underscoring ongoing tensions between community needs and gentrification efforts.
