Valuable High Street Office Space Saved

Three Beckenham office buildings have been saved from being converted into flats by the Council this week. 

Provident House, Ironstone House and Marqueen House, all situated on Burrell Row at the western end of the High Street, had planning applications submitted under the “temporary” permitted development of change of use from offices to residential. The council has limited powers to refuse, but has done so on grounds of lack of parking provision. 

Vital office space has been retained in our town centre, however the Councils decision could still be overturned at Appeal.
