This development involves the demolition of the former nurses home and the construction of 17 luxury flats, together with a 3-storey deep basement. This nurses home currently contains 70 units for housing. It is practically on the doorstep of 3 primary schools and 2 nurseries.
The proposed development will have a serious impact on the health and safety, education and well-being of over 1000 primary school children in the three nearby neighbouring schools and two nurseries; it will cause harm to adjacent heritage assets, and there is a risk of structural problems from the proposed basement.
We say that, for the above reasons, the grant of planning permission is therefore “grossly wrong”, and the permission should be revoked.
A letter will be delivered to Mr Pickles’ office on Friday 13 March, 2015 and can be found on our website which provides more background on New End and the impact of the development:

Please sign this petition to show your support for this call to action.
Yours sincerely,
Jessica Learmond-Criqui
Resident of Hampstead and co-ordinator of the Campaign for Revocation of Planning Permission on 29 New End
