The Highams Park Planning Group has objected to the proposed erection of a new residential building of up to 7 storeys to provide up to 72 new homes on the old Hurran’s nursery site in New Road behind Larks Wood. We have objected for the following reasons:
- It is a gross over development of the site, given its proximity to Larks Wood and Site A. Both these tracts of land are designated as Local Green Space and are important wildlife corridors in this part of the borough.
- The development is wholly out of character with the light suburban form of this part of the borough which is comprised primarily of semi-detached two storey dwellings and there are no high-rise buildings within fifteen minutes walking distance of this site.
- The travel plan does not provide sufficient onsite parking for an outer London site with a PTAL Rating of 2.

We have also, included a few illustrative images below of how the redevelopment will look compared with the existing appearance.
