Meadowview Road - Complaint to LBM

LATEST NEWS ABOUT MEADOWVIEW ROAD (22/P2351) - RPWBRA'S COMPLAINT TO MERTON

Members and visitors to this website are probably aware that the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities  was considering whether to refer the planning application submitted by Bellway, to build 107 homes on the "LESSA" sports field, to the Planning Inspectorate. This application (22/P2351) was approved by the Merton Planning Committee in September 2022.

We regret to report that the Secretary of State has declined to refer the application to the Planning Inspectorate and, consequently, last year's approval by Merton's Planning Committee now stands.

The RPWBRA had previously indicated that it wished to complain to Merton about the process leading up to Merton's decision. However, Merton wished to defer reviewing our association's complaint until after the Secretary of State's decision. As that time has now come, the RPWBRA has now submitted the complaint, which may be read here.
