Kings Car Park, Coldharbour Lane

Here are details of the proposals for the kings car park / sunday market site on Coldharbour Lane.  There is a problem with rival gangs at the moment which is why the police are making it a dispersal zone - until recently they, and the councillors were not made aware of the proposals which are very detailed. 

Here is the link on the Lambeth Planning Site to the redevelopment of the Kings Car Park which is adjacent to Lilford Road Estate and Geoffrey Chaucer. Probably the largest scheme proposed in the area for many years.

This application is to build 108 affordable homes (social housing) on the site of the Kings Car Park/ old Sunday Market site. The flats will be in 2 blocks filling the front of the site onto Coldharbour Lane and are all proposed to be 8 storeys high. The highest buildings in the area are the Lilford Estate and they are 5 storeys and set back - most properties are 2, 3, or 4 storeys high in the area.  -

In an area with high levels of social housing (Lilford Estate, Winterbrook, Thorlands, Geoffrey Chaucer and Crawford (over the Southwark Boundary)), given the proposal to introduce a dispersal zone in this area, because of already unacceptable crime issues, is such an intense development ideal?

Please look at the proposals and provide comment if you wish to Lambeth - the DEADLINE is 4 August - which is when Lambeth anticipate making a decision.
