Plans for one-bed flats at former Bromley Civic Centre slammed
Briefly

Bromley Council sold a civic centre site to Galliard Homes for £13.5 million, including the adjacent Bromley Palace. Galliard plans to convert office buildings into 128 flats, facing considerable local opposition—over 24 objections so far. Critics argue the development emphasizes one-bedroom units, contrary to the London Plan's policy for a diverse housing mix. Residents express concerns about the impact on the community's family-oriented character and worry the high-density project contradicts the existing suburban environment, which mainly consists of larger family homes.
Many residents objected to Galliard's proposal of converting the civic centre into predominantly one-bedroom flats, claiming it disregards community needs for family housing.
The proposed development was criticized for its high density, with residents stating it conflicts with the area’s established pattern of family homes and gardens.
