Galliard purchased a disused site for residential development. Bromley Council reviewed plans to convert two office buildings into flats but refused prior approval. Key reasons included insufficient natural light for the 128 flats and inadequate waste storage. The proposal faced objections from residents, particularly regarding the prevalence of one-bedroom apartments and concerns over strained local infrastructure. The development's proximity to Bromley Palace, a listed building, also influenced the council's decision, as regulations prohibit construction within its curtilage. Community objections highlighted fears about the potential loss of green space and impacts on local heritage.
Bromley Council refused prior approval for Galliard's plans to convert two buildings into flats, citing inadequate natural light and insufficient waste storage.
The council's refusal was influenced by the need to protect the character of the surrounding area, which predominately features larger family homes.
Residents raised concerns that the development would strain local infrastructure and negatively impact the heritage site of Bromley Palace.
The plans included 128 flats, with 115 designed for sole occupants, which raised objections due to a lack of family-sized units.
