Springfield University Hospital Development
Have your
say!
South West
London and St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust have laid out
proposals to develop the 80 acre site at Springfield
University Hospital. Having lived
in this community all my life (for many years very close to
Springfield Hospital) I understand the impact the
development of the Hospital site could have on local
residents.
I am
carrying out my own consultation on their proposals and
would like you to complete my survey to make sure I know
your opinions so I can work effectively on your behalf.
You can
download the survey
HERE and post to my
local Tooting office, 58 Trinity Road, Sw17 7RH.
The plans:
The Trust
proposals say they plan to “open up the site to the local
community whilst improving their mental health services.”
The following developments are currently planned:
The impact:
Although
these plans could hold significant benefits for our
community - for example the creation of dynamic community
spaces and heritage sites - there could be considerable
downsides. Such a serious development will inevitably have
an impact on the surrounding area and community, not least
because an additional 1400 households will ultimately move
into the area. This will clearly have an impact on traffic,
the environment and local amenities. Also, the building
works are likely to take a number of years.
Have your
Say:
I am keen
that the developers are fully aware of the views of local
residents before they finalise their plans. I am also
determined that Wandsworth Council, who will ultimately
decide whether these plans are given permission, know our
views before any decision is taken. Once approval has been
given, the development will begin and there will be nothing
we can do about it!
Please do
take the time to complete the enclosed survey to let me know
what you think about these plans. This will allow me
to really understand the views and concerns of local
residents so I can represent these views to the Trust and,
when a planning application is made, to the Council.
