Southgate District Civic Trust (SDCT) has restated its commitment to fight proposals for a development incorporating three towers, including one 17 storeys high, close to the Southgate Circus Conservation Area, and has launched a campaign to raise money to help it argue its case at a planning panel to be held next month. Revised proposals submitted by the developer last week include a reduction in the height of the towers, but not by a large enough amount to satisfy opponents. The revised planning application was submitted by Viewpoint Estates, who propose demolishing the existing Southgate Office Village buildings in Chase Road N14, very close to the Southgate Circus conservation area, and replacing them by a mixed office and housing development. The changes to the original application increase the number of housing units, a higher proportion of which are "affordable", and reduce the overall building height by four metres.

"Civic trust continues to refuse to represent local residents' views unless they agree with their own, blocking the delivery of substantial affordable & private housing in the process, for a site not within any conservation or otherwise protected area."
I wrote in support and funnily enough was completely ignored. Looks good. Delivers what's needed. Better than the redundant junk there now. Not a greenfield site. Get on with it. |

The Planning Panel to discuss the Southgate Office Village redevelopment proposals was scheduled for 21st November, but has fallen foul of the "purdah" regulations and cannot take place during the general election campaign. The new date is not yet known, but is likely to be in late January.
