Conservative Wandsworth Council refused planning permission for the “Homebase tower” not once but twice. Unfortunately Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, overruled Wandsworth Council’s refusal and imposed the 17 storey tower by giving consent. We want to stop this happening again.

Your local Conservative councillors are consulting on the introduction of special protected Conservation Area status around historic Old York Road and the Tonsleys.

Our suggested consultation on a Conservation Area has been prompted by the Mayor of London’s decision to impose the unpopular ‘Homebase tower’ on our community, overruling the Council’s decision to reject the original proposal.

Conservation Area status would give the local area stronger protection against unpopular large developments by forcing planning decisions to give more consideration to enhancing the area’s character and appearance.

This would aim to restrict major developments, whilst recognising the need for existing homeowners to be able to undertake ordinary residential improvements.

We, the undersigned, hereby ask Wandsworth Council to take the necessary steps towards introduction of a new Conservation Area, including a formal consultation of all local residents.
