No, i can't believe it. At the moment i'm hoping i've just woken up from a bad dream.
Even seven storey's is unreasonable given that the other blocks near to it are much smaller than that, let alone 15.
And the tower would be 100% PRIVATE housing to raise revenue.

The 'consultation' (i use the term advisedly) was ultimately flawed by the fact that none of the (non Forest Estate) residents whose properties back onto this development had even been informed of the plans!

A lack of knowledge of the immediate area and the potential impact, no knowledge from the individuals present of the poor provision of GP's and dearth of school places locally, the pressure already experienced on local roads/parking and the fact that the area will already be absorbing a big Housing Assoc. development at Featherstone Lodge - none of this seemed to feature in any of the information presented.

There seems to have been an effort on behalf of Lewisham Planning to try to encourage sympathetic development in the area recently, with more houses rather than 'investor flats', so what on earth is this?
Affordable homes on brownfield sites, yes, but a 15 storey tower on a green space? Really?

And as for the 'underused' site they are planning to build on, what criteria are they using to define 'underused' exactly? No convincing answer to that one was very forthcoming.
