Revised plans submitted for Greenwich residential project

Revised planning documents from Reddy Architecture + Urbanism, on behalf of Berkeley Homes, have been lodged with Greenwich Council for nearly 200 new homes in a pair of tower blocks, as part of the developer's £1bn Kidbrooke Village masterplan. The changes would see a column of windows on the taller 15-storey block being removed for structural reasons. The smaller 12-storey block would see its windows being redesigned to prevent the risk of individuals falling from a height. The developer has claimed that none of the window alterations will affect daylight exposure requirements for flats in the buildings. Balcony doors for flats on both buildings will also be amended to move inwards or slide open instead of swinging outwards. Fire safety measures have been added such as fire escapes being separated from back-of-house services on lower floors such as bin storage areas. The new application will be processed by the local authority’s development management department before a formal decision is made.
