The Mayor should respect the wishes of the local residents and the Council's decision, the additional flats will not be "affordable" to key workers. The development should be in keeping with the surrounding area.

The actions of the mayor smacks of corruption!

Outrageous that the London Mayor is thinking of overturning a decision taken locally that this development is out of all proportion to the surrounding environment in terms of height and density.

Not against development but it needs to be in character of neighbourhood and not directly overhanging riversidewest. Respect the local communities decision

Am all for creating new homes -- just not another tower block. Something a bit more in line with the buildings around would be great.

Please do not approve. There's a reason it keeps being rejected!

By all means build more apartments at Homebase in Wandsworth but don't build them so high they block all the sunlight from the existing development at Riverside West, or so dense that you are in effect, building the slums of tomorrow. In addition, his development will overload Wandsworth Town station even more and is contrary to Wandsworth's own planning regulations.

I have already written to the Mayor objecting to this application. I feel that Mayor Khan's intention as it stands is not in favour of Wandsworth Town area as a whole and our Community, therefore I VERY much oppose his decision of taking over this application. If he is not willing to act in the Community,'s favour, he should hand over the matter to those who do CARE.

A development proposal that breaks planning rules and is not wanted by council or community!

The station cannot cope at the moment, and this will be disastrous for commuters. I am sick of having to let 2-3 trains go in order to be able to get on in rush hour, and then it is crowded and crushed beyond what is comfortable. Apart from all the other reasons raised, this would cause a very serious problem to which there is no solution.

It would be horrific if this scheme was accepted given it was refused by the council twice as per their stipulations and requirements under Wandsworth planning laws. Also leaves everyone open to huge lawsuits in the future

This development is too tall, will overload Wandsworth Town station even more and is contrary to Wandsworth's own planning regulations. Developers should not be able to override planning regulations by promising Sadiq Khan extra affordable housing.

I am ageist the Home base development's current application and over crowding of the area. The 17 story height is just going to destroy privacy of neighbouring households

We oppose the Mayor of London's decision to "call in" the application. We urge the Mayor of London to respect Wandsworth Council's original decision to reject the application. He is suppose to be concerned about the environment and society ... mmm

By all means build more apartments at Homebase and B&Q in Wandsworth but don't build them so high they block all the sunlight from the existing development at Riverside West, or so dense that you are. In effect, building the slums of tonorrow. Please let common sense prevail and stop this development as proposed.

The developer's contempt for the council, local planning guidelines and Wandsworth residents is clear from this re-submission of a proposal that has already been unanimously rejected twice.
