Political row breaks out over new plans for towers near south London station
Briefly

Criterion Capital is moving forward with plans for a new 16-storey apart-hotel, which will feature serviced apartments and accommodate up to 175 rooms. In addition, a 15-storey tower with 150 rooms and a seven-storey building with approximately 90 flats are part of the proposal. This development follows prior rejection by Merton Council for taller structures. Local councillors expressed opposition, citing concerns about the developer's previous failures, including unfulfilled financial obligations to the council for safety features at an existing property.
Criterion Capital proposes a 16-storey apart-hotel with 175 serviced apartments, alongside a 15-storey tower with 150 shared flats and a seven-storey building with 90 flats.
Labour councillors oppose Criterion Capital's new proposals, arguing it is unreasonable to build more towers when the existing structure, Britannia Point, is not maintained properly.
