Tileman House rejection recommended (again)

Original post, 12.08.2009:
Council Officers are recommending to councillors that the revised Tileman House application be refused for the second time.

It will be interesting to see what the developers do now. Last time the officers came out with the same recommendation the applicants immediately withdrew their application, only to bring back an almost identical plan and make us all go through this charade again. To do so again would be outrageous.

The two grounds officers suggest councillors should reject this plan are height and scale and - irony of ironies for Wandsworth - insufficient affordable housing (though that was a question-mark raised by the Greater London Authority).

The Committee meeting takes place on Thursday 20 August from 7pm at Wandsworth Town Hall.

We've now turned back Putney Place, Tileman House (twice) and Clapham Junction. Let's hope developers are starting to get the message.

UPDATE 14.08.2009:
The officers' report on this application can now be read here.
