I’ve shared concerns about this development in my public & personal capacity. The current proposal doesn’t meet stepping down rules, threatens traffic chaos impacting users of Guys Cancer Centre & as it sits on the southern side of a street means £3M of developer levies are lost. It must be revised.

I'm fortunate to have read an early copy and, as you would expect from Pete, this is a great book telling an important story. Strong recommend.

Chris Brown: Nobody's listening - OnLondon Despite having the ear of local politicians, members of a community in Bermondsey undergoing rapid change feel that their voices go unheard

New comment piece for OnLondon by Chris Brown. Despite having the ear of local #Labour politicians, a group of long-established residents in Bermondsey feel their voices go unheard amid rapid local development activity: www.onlondon.co.uk/chris-brown-.... #London #bermondsey #planning

Dear Sirs,I would like to voice my serious concern in relation to the proposed new build referred to as Snowfield Quarters with regard to the following: 1) The height of the development is considerably too high for the surrounding area. While there is precedent for very tall buildings in the form of Guy's Cancer Unit and the Shard, this is no reason to keep adding very tall buildings to an environment otherwise dominated by two and three story buildings, many of them historic. It totally alters the character of the area. In addition, the proposed buildings will create a serious wind tunnel on Snowfields as air pressure drops, causing wind to move faster as well as circle. Both effects are unpleasant for the neighbourhood and anyone visiting. It is a phenomenon already in evidence on St Thomas St on many days through The Shard and its adjoining buildings.2) The Snowfields development will bring too much heavy traffic into the small and narrow surrounding streets. Many of the local roads have been made designated cycle routes which will become unsafe with the amount of traffic that the development will bring. Deliveries to these buildings will be challenging. Guy's Hospital is already forced to break deliveries down in their central depot as large vehicles find the Guy's loading bays and Weston Street too tight. Currently the development at the end of Weston Street is already causing traffic build ups of articulated and other lorries in a residential street. This unsafe, polluting, noisy and unpleasant. 3) The parking deck on Snowfields is the only public parking in the area that is close to Guy's Hospital and its Cancer Unit. It was in much demand during the pandemic by hospital staff and continues to be so by many patients of the hospital. Closing it without replacement would be irresponsible. 4) The development will bring considerably too many people to this mainly residential area. Its little green spaces and small roads will not be able to cope in a sustainable way.

And they are knocking down the hospital car park with no plans for the 500+ immuno suppressed and other patients who use it every week. The application deliberately tries to downplay their needs.

This is a continuing nightmare. A Kings medical student was killed by a demolition truck on his bike on the same street. It was lucky no-one was killed this time.

And yet developers and planners propose four years of up to 1500 heavy trucks a week on these same streets.

This is so true. And yet, despite Southwark's Streets for People policy, planning is encouraging many more large diesel trucks into narrow medieval streets (like Snowsfields, SE1) where they can only exit the tight junctions by driving over pavements (and Cycleway 14 which they now plan to close).

Developers are planning to cut down more trees just along Snowsfields including one of Ada Salter's Trees of Heaven and are threatening three fabulous mature plane trees in Guy St Park (and removing some of Snowsfields' beautiful silver birches). planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-appli...
