Developer offers one affordable home in Surbiton petrol station redevelopment
A developer planning a 28-flat new build in Surbiton has offered just one of the homes as an affordable unit.
Indigo Scott and Kingston Council have been back and forth six times over revised plans for the former petrol station site in Brighton Road, which would also include two retail spaces. The scheme will come before councillors at next week's development control meeting - and planning chiefs have warned the application should be refused if still-ongoing affordable housing negotiations fail.
Kingston Council policy states that half of homes in large developments should be designated affordable. The 28-home plan is one of two submitted for the site. The second, with 32 homes and no retail units, is recommended for refusal.

If affordable homes (cheap) are to be built then it is the Councils that will have to build them.
Residents of the non affordable homes (expensive) do not want to live alongside the lowlifes that are often housed by councils or buy to let landlords,sorry if this upsets people but it is a fact.
In some large apartment blocks the affordable residents are being asked to use a different entrance so as not to sully the reception areas,maybe not right but again it is inevitable in mixed value developments.
