Hamish reports: “Recently I re-visited the new development at 40 Coleridge Avenue, Sutton in a corner of the Poets’ Estate within the Carshalton Central neighbourhood, close to the junction with Shirley Avenue.  The so-called Coleridge Gardens development is nearing completion and the first house of the four that were granted planning permission is apparently already sold/occupied.”

Hamish continues: “I worked with local residents and my two fellow councillors at the time to resist all the various planning applications on this key site going back several years as we had concerns at the time about the siting of such development particularly so close to other houses; a new road junction close to a tight street corner; back gardens and also there were concerns about building on a potential flooding “problem area”.  Anyway, the development proposals were eventually approved in the teeth of local opposition, and the development went ahead with a number of important planning conditions including an acoustic fence to protect and safeguard the amenity of adjacent occupants by the new road way.”
