We understand that some changes have been made by the developer to the application and that these have been uploaded on to the Sutton Council website.

We would suggest that all local residents have a look at the new proposals.

Residents will need to decide who will address the development control committee from amongst the residents, which can be on a road basis. Cllr. Jill Whitehead is co-ordinating meetings with local residents.

Cllr. Hamish Pollock who sits on the development control committee that will decide the application says: “The application is reference no. C2012/65431.  It is described as follows:- ‘Demolition of existing buildings & erection of a part two, part three storey building incorporating a mezzanine and part lower ground floor comprising a 74 bedroomed care home over part of ground floor, first and second floors with a sensory roof garden, amenity space, ancillary staff and resident facilities, plant accommodation and laundry on lower ground floor and provision of 20 car parking spaces accessed from Kingsley Avenue. Provision of 325.1 sq metres of retail floor space on the ground floor with provision of 8 car parking spaces fronting Cowper Avenue.’ “
