The Society for the Protection of Ascot & Environs (SPAE) has a number of serious objections to the London Square, recently-submitted planning application for a site to the south of Ascot High Street (RBWM 22/01971)
"SPAE has been supportive all along about the rejuvenation of Ascot and a Vision for the High Street was produced by the Prince’s Foundation in 2013 in conjunction with the local community.
What is now being planned bears little resemblance with this Vision. This proposal will have a serious impact on Ascot and the wider area."
The plans comprise 137 homes (34 terrace and 103 flats) together with 3,261sqm of office / commercial / retail space sandwiched into the area between Station Hill, the Clock House and the High Street.
Please write to the Council (planning@RBWM.gov.uk) to express your objection to these plans.
The Neighbour Consultation Expiry Date for receipt of responses is THURSDAY 18thAUGUST 2022.
SPAE would like you to write to the Council to express you opposition to these plans and you may find the following helpful in preparing your response.
"o OVER DEVELOPMENT HOUSING – 137 homes crammed into 2.77ha (i.e. 50 dwellings / ha). This will be disproportionate for the High Street
o COMMERCIAL / RETAIL - 3,261sqm commercial / retail is proposed. For comparison purposes, Berkshire House on three floors including retail is approximately 4,500sqm
o PARKING – for 3,261sqm commercial / retail, there will be just SIX car parking spaces for retail staff only, and none for shoppers! The proposal is reliant on using Car Park 6, Sainsbury’s Car Park, Hermitage Parade Car Park and Budgens Car Park – NONE of which is owned by the applicant!!
o PARKING – for 137 homes, there will be just 123 vehicle spaces – so NO spaces for 14 residences (10%). These spaces would also need to accommodate occasional visitors including shoppers
o FOUR STOREY BLOCKS – these flat roof structures will be adjacent to Station Hill and the High Street, and completely out of character with Ascot
o COMMUNITY CULTURAL SPACE – 187sqm for a community centre is completely inadequate, when the need is for a centre capable of use as a community hall and an arts space or small cinema (The Prince’s Foundation Vision)
o TREES – 46 of 115 trees will be lost (i.e. 40%), where most are categorised as high or of moderate quality
There is a mountain of documentation supplied with the application which you may find daunting. However, there is a link below to important documents which you will find helpful.
The Neighbour Consultation Expiry Date for receipt of responses is THURSDAY 18thAUGUST 2022.
