A public drop-in session is being held on Thursday 2nd November 18:00-20:00 at Beckenham Methodist Church (The Bevington Hall), Bromley Road, Beckenham BR3 5 JE to view the plans for the proposed new development.
The development proposal is on a vacant site at 37 Southend Road, Beckenham BR3 1SP, at the junction with Stumps Hill Lane.
We’ve been in contact with the architects to find more about the public exhibition. All illustrations (except the map) and the text below are from their presentation boards:
The exhibition provides an opportunity to view the initial designs for the development.
Members of the project team will be present to listen to any feedback and answer any questions you may have. Your views will be reviewed as part of the design development of the proposal.
The proposals are for a mix of 1 to 2 bed apartments, 1 3-bed maisonette and a new play space. The existing topography of the site has been considered in the proposal with a car park basement designed into the slope of the site to the east with the entrance to the west. 18 car parking spaces as well as sufficient cycle parking have been included to promote sustainable forms of travel and keep the amount of traffic to the site down.
The proposal includes:
• Modern, high-quality homes with layouts and floor areas in line with London Housing Guidelines
• Private outdoor space for all residents either via a balcony or private terrace
• Safe and secure homes and communal green areas inc. playspace
• The proposals are aiming for an affordable housing level of 30%
Existing vehicular access is to the north west of the site, accessed via Stumps Hill Ln, and will be retained in the proposal.
The site has sat empty and consists of primarily soft landscaping to the east and a small amount of hard landscaping to the west where existing garages used to sit which have now been demolished.
