I'd like to see social housing for local people too, but his isn't it. It's an 11 storey block of luxury flats in a gated development. The social housing element is the absolute bare minimum required to get it past planning regulations and we'll see how much of that survives the building/marketing/pleading/weaseling stages to come.You sound like a member of the let’s keep Brixton shit campaign. I don’t really want this new development as I have concerns about the height of it, whether the local infrastructure can cope with it or how much social housing will be available but I’d rather have more housing for local people than a waste site particularly if it remains a low traffic neighbourhood
What i really don't get is the how obsessed some of the local activists are on getting rid of a recycling plant.
There's a Network Rail facility next to it, a large business/light industrial park behind it and a few hundred yards up the road there's a council office and large bin lorry park next door to a school.
Why the recycling plant?
Maybe the local LTAG/XR people have found an ancient treasure map with a big X on it.
