LERA

Links Estate Residents’ Association 

For your urgent attention

Dear Resident

IMPORTANT AMENDMENTS TO THE PROPOSED RE-DEVELOPMENT OF
87-93 OAK TREE GARDENS

Amended plans have now been submitted for the following planning application to Bromley
Council for the re-development of the site occupied by Nos 87, 89, 91 and 93 Oak Tree Gardens at the corner with Portland Road:

Redevelopment of land at rear of Nos. 87-93 Oak Tree Gardens to include demolition of No.
91 and retention of No. 89 with minor alterations to roof and Erection of eight 2 1/2 storey, 4
bedroom houses comprising of two terraces of 3 houses, one pair of semi detached houses
and one detached single garage; associated access, parking, landscaping, cycle storage,
refuse and recycling provision.

The amended plans appear to involve:

•  The demolition of the house on the site at No 89 in addition to the house at
  No 91;
•  5 additional car parking spaces;
•  Changes to drainage which require further clarification.

LERA is continuing to oppose the amended application on the following grounds:

• The additional pressures on the drainage and sewerage systems which are alreadystruggling to cope with the existing houses on the Estate, and the increased risks of floodingand potential sewerage backup affecting existing houses; and
• The increased traffic movements on an already busy and potentially dangerous corner.

You can view the amended planning application documents on the Council’s website
using the Search Planning Applications service at www.bromley.gov.uk/planningaccess and searching on Oak Tree Gardens. If you wish to make any comments on the amended application, the plans and other documents submitted with it, please ensure that you do
this by  WEDNESDAY 10 JUNE 2015; otherwise the Council will assume that you have no comments.
