We (the leaseholder residents of Kent Wharf) wish to make our objection against the proposed Sun Wharf development on Creekside, London in the borough of Lewisham known on the following grounds:
Proposed density and building heights of the Sun Wharf development will have a severe detrimental impact on light to a large proportion of existing apartments in Kent Wharf as well as the communal courtyard area of the Kent Wharf development.
In addition we would like it known that in our opinion the public consultation by the developer Bellway has been carried out in an underhanded manner with inadequate advertising and notice periods for open consultation forums.

The developer continues to ignore our concerns about light levels and the lack of proper consultation. I am currently reaching out to local council members to demand a formal review of these plans. Send an email to your ward representative today to insist they block this project.

The new, proposed development will block most of the sunlight I receive. Communication from Bellway has been purposely poor from the point of giving them the deposit to now.
Detrimental to existing property. Bellway's view is out with the old and in with the new in terms of customer care!
My objections are outlined in my comments to Lewisham Planning (DC/18/110290). These relate to the extreme loss of light for residents in Kent Wharf and surrounding buildings.
How can Bellway build and sell Kent Wharf and then build Sun Wharf that will shadow and undervalue the latest? It’s shady, bad faith and how they did this was simply dishonest and prejudicial to people how have trusted them and have them a lot of money.
I wish to sign the petition as the proposed sight concerns me- especially the amount of light that is expected to be reduced once the proposed sight is built
Objection as per comments on Lewisham planning website under section DC/18/110290
I object to the planning application for Sun Wharf. This development is high density and it will take up to 80 per cent of current sunlight from our flats at Kent Wharf. We will also lose significant privacy and have high density blocks of flats in close proximity, making us feel blocked in. We purchased these flats from Bellway, completing in February 2018 and Bellway did not tell us when they marketed the flats at Kent Wharf that they were planning a high density development that would severely adversely affect our quality of life. Bellway did not consult with residents of Kent Wharf and they did not make any effort to engage with Kent Wharf leaseholders who were their customers. This all amounts to sharp practice from Bellway. Sun Wharf should be a site that is predominantly landscaping, river walk paths, cycle racks, play areas, green space etc. that enhances the area for residents. The proposed development at Sun Wharf will have a significant negative impact on leaseholders at Kent Wharf as admitted by Bellway in the environmental report. Lewisham Council should not allow this planning application to proceed.

The proposed development will be built directly facing my bedroom window, blocking the majority of light and restricting any privacy. The 3-4 year demolition and construction period will create a great deal of noise, dust and pollution. We repeatedly asked for more information from Bellway during our buying process and they consistently denied having any knowledge of the development.
