Say No to nine storeys at Chingford Mount

Say "No to nine storeys!" at Chingford Mount

After meeting with the promoters of the redevelopment of the site of Iceland and Superdrug at Albert Crescent, local Conservative councillors have expressed dismay at the proposals for a nine storey tower block, which will totally overshadow local homes.

Cllr John Moss said, “We have fought this proposal at every stage, trying to get the Labour-run Council to see the potential for more modest development across the whole of Chingford Mount as an alternative to building a tower block on this site. They simply don’t listen.” 

Cllr Sam O’Connell added, “It is totally out of keeping with Chingford Mount - six floors taller than anything else in the area - and would loom over the back gardens of houses in Brook Crescent. It would also have no parking, but without a CPZ in the area, new residents will just park in already congested local roads. We will be objecting to this in the strongest possible terms!”

Cllr Catherine Saumarez said, "Given residents' wishes to preserve the suburban character of South Chingford, we are pushing hard for meaningful consultation which allows local residents to have a genuine say about how our area is developed. We hope the developer will work with councillors and residents, and not just ride roughshod over local concerns."

The developer is promising to listen and will hold a public consultation shortly. We have asked that this include in-person meetings at convenient times for local residents. 

Please sign our petition to add your voice to the objection to this appalling over-development of our area. 

I, the undersigned, wish to object to the proposed development of Albert Corner with a nine-storey tower block, with no parking.

  • It is out of keeping with the character of the local area

  • It will overlook, over-shadow and enclose nearby homes to an unacceptable degree

  • It will cause harm to the amenity of existing residents by having no parking in an area without any CPZs

  • It will remove two significant anchor stores from Chingford Mount, causing harm to the economic health of the high street

  • The proposed arrangements for servicing the retail units will not accommodate anything larger than a 7.5t fixed body vehicle which most major retailers will not find acceptable
