The Area around Bromley North Station has been on the plans for redevelopment, for at least 10 years. Each new version increases the number of ‘units’ (housing units, in this case flats) that are expected to fit on the site. At the current rate the eventual build will be 8-12 storey line, in the style of Byker Wall, marching down Babbcombe Road…
Babbacombe Road (and Area) Residents Association have been tireless in trying to rein these proposal down to a height which will not dominate their roads, our town centre, and the conservation area.
