Summary

Open Council Network is an independent organisation. We report on Merton and are not the council. About us

The Merton Council Design Review Panel was scheduled to consider alterations to an outline planning permission for phases two and three of the Eastfields Housing Estate renewal project. The meeting was held virtually.

Eastfields Housing Estate, Acacia Way, Mitcham

The panel was scheduled to review proposed alterations to the outline planning permission for phases two and three of the Eastfields Housing Estate renewal project, located at Acacia Way, Mitcham. This development is part of the council's Estates Local Plan, with phase one of the estate renewal already under construction. The alterations sought to the extant outline application were due to various necessary changes.

The report pack indicated that the site is subject to the provisions of the Estates Local Plan. It also noted that adjacent cemeteries have open space designations. The relevant outline planning permission was available for review. The meeting schedule allocated time for the case officer's precis, applicant team presentations, panel questions, and a panel review, concluding with a RAG (Red, Amber, Green) verdict.
