Petition Against High-Rise Development on Battersea Park Road

We, the undersigned, object to the proposed high-rise developments at Booker Cash & Carry and BMW Car Service Garage, 41-49 and 49-59 Battersea Park Road, London SW8 5AL (Ref: APP/H5960/W/24/3358065).

Key concerns include:

• Excessive Height - compared with existing properties and far exceeding the area's character.
• Strain on local infrastructure – Increased traffic, parking issues, and overcrowded pavements and bus stops.
• Loss of light and privacy – Surrounding buildings will suffer overshadowing and overlooking.
• Disproportionate land use – Student accommodation prioritised over much-needed housing.

We call on the planning department to reject this proposal in favour of a development that better serves the community.
