Bannatyne Health Club aims to resubmit a planning application for a residential development that includes 80 mixed-tenure homes, with 28 being affordable units. The development proposal also encompasses sports facilities and new public spaces on an 11.6 acre site. Despite potential benefits cited in planning documents, residents oppose the application, citing concerns about the loss of Metropolitan Open Land, which protects vital green spaces. Critics emphasize the negative impact on local ecosystems due to the removal of numerous mature trees and the threat to protected lands in London.
