Just wondering on thoughts of local residents on this planning application to build 7 flats on a car park in Ferris Road.

The car park currently serves a block of 9 flats and would mean that there are 16 flats in a small area with no parking.

The current block of flats is currently empty as being refurbished.

Parking in this area is currently difficult due to the trading estate round the corner parking all of their vans, camper vans and cars to be repaired on.

The consultation closes soon and so far there is only one comment regarding parking

This is another ridiculous over development.

The parking in the area is already terrible (predominantly due to the trading practices of the business residents of the Trading Estate) and this clearly hasn't been take into account.

I simply do not believe the results of parking survey in the application.

Southwark have already approved a development on a Back garden on Barry Road, Application reference 17/AP/3128

The development is on a property on Barry Road, although the new 'House' will actually be on Tyrrell Road.

... just 2 houses on Tyrrell Road were consulted!

It looks like a vacant lot from a bomb drop when you look at it from google earth. There must have been a couple of house on that site at some point in the past before it became a carpark.

Seems right to re develop it as residential, especially given how we are constantly bombarded with news of a housing crisis.
