The redevelopment of the site near Sutton station, approved in December 2023, proposes eight buildings ranging from six to 21 storeys, adding 1,014 homes to the area. In addition, plans include 8,786 sqm of new public open space featuring a park and enhanced cycling infrastructure. While the project aims to increase affordable housing from 337 to 353 units, some residents are concerned about potential strain on local services due to the population increase, calling the plans an 'urban dystopia.' The Planning Committee is set to review these changes on March 5.
Some residents have expressed anxiety over the urban development, likening it to an 'urban dystopia' due to the growing population pressures on public services.
Despite council officers recommending the plan for approval, some council members must assess the proposed changes' effects on Sutton's street scene and facilities.
