Hyde Southbank Homes - the owner of some xx,000 homes in Stockwell plans to develop the site between Grantham Road, Clapham Road, Rhodesia Road and Stirling Rad.
Their current plans involve removing the local park, chopping down trees and removing green space from London. It also involves removing almost 100 parking spaces in central stockwell.
A MASSIVE CHANGE IS COMING!
Do you want this?
Instead of this?
HYDE’S PLANS ARE:
TO BULLDOZE:
- BELLEVUE MANSIONS - 62 Edwardian terrace flats on Clapham Road
- THE PARK ON RHODESIA ROAD - Home to thousands of plants and animals
- THE SPORTS COURT / MUGA - One of the only free sports facilities in the area
- TIA ANA's NURSERY - Caring for over 40 children
- LAMBETH SELF-HELP HOMES - 10 Victorian Terrace Houses
TO THEN BUILD:
OVER 450 UNIT HOUSING ESTATE INCLUDING:
- A 30-STOREY TOWER BLOCK (fully private),
- 6 OTHER MID- AND HIGH-RISE BLOCKS (‘affordable’
and private).
THIS WILL INCREASE HOUSING DENSITY TO over 6 TIMES THE LONDON AVERAGE
ONLY 20% OF ALL NEW BUILD IS FOR SOCIAL RENT – historically housing associations reduce this number with minimal consequences.
(Hyde has to rehouse all tenants in Bellevue Garden Mansions who wish to return)
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU:
- FURTHER OVERCROWDING AT CLAPHAM NORTH AND STOCKWELL UNDERGROUND STATIONS,
- A MINIMUM OF 1500 ADDITIONAL RESIDENTS - CREATING ‘SUPERDENSITY’ HOUSING. (NOTE THAT THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE ALREADY APPROVED DEVELOPMENTS ON LANDOR ROAD).
- HUGE ADDITIONAL PRESSURE ON YOUR PUBLIC SERVICES, CONGESTION ON THE A3 AND INCREASED AIR POLLUTION.
- THE OPEN GREEN SPACE ON RHODESIA ROAD (INCLUDING MANY MATURE TREES) AND MULTI USE GAMES AREA (THE BALL COURT) WILL BE GONE LEAVING NOWHERE FOR CHILDREN IN TOWERS AND LOCAL STREETS TO PLAY.

For 25 years, Hyde have been failing to deliver. They have deliberately let the park and some homes fall into dis-repair so they can claim there is no choice but to bulldoze.
Hyde will naturally try and convince you that having 450 new properties and over 1,000 new residents in the area will make it better. They will focus your attention on the benefits of their proposal.
They stand to make hundreds of millions of pounds from this development.
But we have a voice! Stockwell Community Association stands firmly against this development. We as a powerful collective have a voice and we can use it!
We’d love you to have your say and we’d love to keep you up to date with what we are doing to campaign against this.
