The approval of the new housing scheme comes as Bromley faces a critical situation with nearly 2,000 families in temporary accommodation, heightening concerns over housing shortages in the area.
Alicia Egan, Head of Regeneration, indicated the urgent need for the scheme, stating that temporary accommodation represents one of the largest revenue pressures for the authority, highlighting the need for permanent housing options.
Local resident Garnet Frost expressed strong opposition, stressing that the disabled community was given no consultation and evicted without notice from Lewis House, which they had used for decades.
Former CEO Joanne Munn pointed out that the charity serving disabled individuals was misled regarding the future of Lewis House, suggesting a lack of transparency from the council about housing plans.
