Objection to Sun Wharf Development Creekside, London

Objection as per comments on Lewisham planning website under section DC/18/110290

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.

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 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.

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

When I moved to this area I complained regularly about the state of the streets and the lack of street cleaning. There is rubbish everywhere still now. I was told by the council that their budgets had been cut. Quite surprising when you consider all the extra council tax being paid by all these new residents but if that is indeed the case then how will the council deal with the additional services that all these extra people will no doubt require. My concern is that you have moved all these new people and their money in to the area but the council can’t offer the services and amenities to support that.

Objection to the ongoing blocking of light that Sun Wharf will have on Deckhouse Court.
