Carter House, 229-245 Carshalton Road – Further Update

A photo taken of the so-called “Carter House”, 229-245 Carshalton Road, Carshalton on Monday, 20th August 2012 with most of the tarpaulin removed. The full huge scale of the four-storey building at the corner with Shorts Road is now even more apparent.  It does not fit in fit with Carshalton’s typically 2-storey houses. 

The three Carshalton Central Lib Dem ward councillors Jill Whitehead, Alan Salter and Hamish Pollock fought alongside many local residents against the planning application for this oversized development but alas it was granted planning approval.   The case for a refusal of permission was undermined to some extent by the present of the 72 inter-war flats at Wynash Gardens diagonally opposite the site which are of course three-storeys.
