Bromley Waitrose expansion and housing development approved
Plans to rebuild and extend Waitrose in Bromley alongside the construction of 353 homes have been approved.
The decision was made last night at a meeting of the borough’s Development Control Committee.
The site sits metres from Bromley South station with services to Victoria and Blackfriars.
The development sees John Lewis Partnerships (who own Waitrose) paying more than £6 million in Community Infrastructure Levy payment for local services, however “affordable” housing is just 10 per cent.
A total of 150 parking spaces will be on site. The supermarket building will be stripped back to its frame, extended and see new cladding applied.
Residential units will be located within a number of blocks topping out at 24 storeys. Furniture within will be from John Lewis.
Further details of the plan can be seen in my recent post here.
Excellent news the new larger Waitrose store will benefit local residents including those that will move in to the new homes and visitors to Bromley Town Centre..
Nice to hear some good news for the retail sector.
