Croydon Communities Protest March
We, have lost faith in the Planning Committee and Planning Department at Croydon Council.
The public concerns have been ignored in an attempt to satisfy a housing quota.
We appreciate & support the need for more housing and 'affordable' homes but development must be sustainable, ensuring that such developments do not mean increased suffering for current and future residents.
Why is this important?
We call for a meeting of the full Council to discuss openly all of the Brick by Brick projects.
We request that the full council meeting, or an independent review, hear the petitions and objections against each of the planning applications in question - giving us, the residents, greater and more reasonable time to speak and be heard.
We call for the launch of a thorough, impartial review of all Planning Department guidance and Committee decisions on Brick by Brick developments to:
• Reduce the overcrowding, invasive designs & invasion of privacy
• Consider our Communities’ delicate social infrastructure.
• ensure architecture and design is in keeping with local buildings and the community's identity
• Consider the significant impact in the loss of parking spaces caused by their forced removal and the significant increase in demand caused by the new homes.
• Ensure that developments are not within a flood zone/investigation area.
• Ensure all future planning meetings are chaired fairly, free from partisan pressure, with common sense prevailing.
