Residents of the Robins Court estate in Chinbrook Road are opposing plans to add an additional floor to their blocks, fearing displacement and disruption during construction. Nearly 60 objections highlight concerns about the century-old buildings' structural integrity and the potential loss of outdoor spaces. A local architect argues that construction cannot safely proceed with residents still living there, though management claims nobody will have to vacate. Questions about the developer's intentions add to the residents' anxiety, as many believe the proposals threaten their community and well-being.
From a structural point of view, it will be totally impossible to construct the extension with the existing residents remaining inside, he claimed.
There's a fundamental misunderstanding that this is a planning reason why this development should not happen.
