A dangerous precedent will exist if Kingston Council approve the application from Advanced Living to turn the Regents Wing into a massive block of residences.

The applicants have been asked by the council to re-submit their plans. The community's protests have not gone unheard. The next meeting is in early December 2020 - there is still time to lodge your objections.

This would change the face of our area and our special local character FOREVER.

Object on the grounds of: Explanation Planning policy infringed?
  • scale and dominance
 Look at the size of it and at its proximity to the buildings in the Wolverton Avenue area of special interest YES
  • appearance and design
 Replacing an old, classic building with a "build-anywhere" modern block is completely out of character with Victorian Norbiton including the old register office and even the station YES
  • privacy
 Look how closely it stands domineering over the row of houses on the east side of Wolverton Avenue with dozens of windows and balconies overlooking bedrooms and gardens YES
  • loss of light/sunlight
 Several existing dwellings, not least flats in the old register office will have sunlight severely curtailed in the winter months, especially by the southern extension of the building YES
  • parking provision
 128 flats will have only 43 parking spaces for residents, staff and visitors - accessible only via a car lift! YES
  • highway safety
 The resulting lack of parking both for the hospital and the new residents may well result in frustrated drivers seeking a place in the home zone that is Wolverton Avenue and beyond YES
