Bessborough Road Garages, SW15

Scheme name and address

Bessborough Road Garages.

Garages and car parking spaces west of Highcross Way, Bessborough Road, Alton Estate, SW15.

Description

We have commissioned a highly experienced and skilled team of architects, landscape designers and consultants to assess the feasibility for the redevelopment of previously non-residential areas on Bessborough Road into much-needed new council rent homes. We are also exploring opportunities to improve landscaping and play space.

Whilst this site is located on the Alton Estate, it is not part of the original development area under the Alton Estate Regeneration. We are not looking to demolish any existing residential buildings as part of our plans.

News

Planning permission was approved on 24 October 2023. The application is to develop the garages and car parking spaces west of 27 to 33 and 34 to 40 Highcross Way, Bessborough Road SW15 4LL. Demolition of all existing structures and garages and erection of a part single, part two/three storey building to provide eight (8) independent supported housing units (Use Class C3) with associated cycle, vehicle parking and landscaping.

The planning application was submitted following consultation with the local community during the design phase of the scheme and their feedback was incorporated into the planning application.

We will continue to keep residents informed as the development progresses. The next steps will be to source and appoint a contractor and create a bespoke works plan.
