On 2 November we wrote about the Berkeley Homes proposal to develop 2,000 new homes in Bromley, on what is currently classed as Green Belt land. This is a reminder about the public exhibition:
- Tuesday 18 November, 2pm to 7.30pm
- Ravens Lounge at Bromley FC, Hayes Lane, BR2 9EF
The event was previously listed at starting at 3pm. As they expect a high attendance, they have moved the opening time forward to 2pm.
You will be able to see the plans, talk to the project team, ask any questions you may have and provide feedback.
If you are interested but unable to attend, they have said that the display material will also be available on their website from 18 November. If you have feedback, their website includes their contact details.
The first round of consultation will close on Sunday 7 December, so if you have feedback, make sure you submit it to Berkeley homes before the deadline.
The councillors encourage you to feedback to Berkeley Homes
In their latest newsletter, Cllrs Josh Coldspring-White, Alexa Michael and Thomas Turrell said that they had met with the developers:
“All three of your local Councillors have stood on pledges to protect the Green Belt. Bromley’s Conservative-led Council has opposed changes to planning legislation. They made this very clear in their submission to the Labour government on reforming the NPPF [National Policy Planning Framework].”
They continued:
“We strongly encourage residents to engage in the consultation process that organised by Berkeley, and let them know of their views. When the planning application is submitted and is open to consultation, we also encourage residents to make their views known at this stage. An existing petition to Bromley Council will provide residents with a response to the Council’s current position. This may be debated by Councillors, but does not count as an objection to the proposals. We welcome residents getting in touch with us, either by email or by taking part in our own survey.
There are two petitions against the proposed development
If you have strong feelings about the proposal, we encourage you to go to the public exhibition if you are able to. Do ask questions and give your feedback.
If you are against the proposal and would like to share your views and connect with others, there are also two petitions against it:
It’s important to remember that, as the councillors have mentioned, the petitions do not count as an objection to the proposals. If the developers do submit a planning application, you must make your views known at that stage. When we know more, we’ll let you know.
