Greedy developers Ballymore, in collusion with Sainsbury's, have put forward plans to build over 2,450 homes on the Kensal Canalside side in North Kensington.
The development proposals consist of several tower blocks around the same height as Trellick Tower.
Most of the homes Ballymore intends to build are of a "buy to leave" type, (only 19% affordable) There is no new train station provided, leading to Ladbroke Grove and most of the area being clogged up with traffic for the foreseeable future if RBKC gives this hated scheme the go ahead.
Today is the last day for residents to object. Please ensure that local voices are heard!
People before profits....
Please object HERE time is running out
No new station, 2500 largely unaffordable homes. Where do they expect the traffic to go?
ReplyDeleteKensington needs social rented & genuinely affordable family housing but Ballynore are going for the buy to leave & 1 bed yuppy apartments
ReplyDeleteWhy does the Council or government not buy these sites! Who actually owned it originally? My understanding is that it's a private site, it was bought years ago and it was a matter of time before it was built on! They can allocate some to social housing and community use...but they are there to make money ...simple as!!!
