Plans are in again to redevelop an old coach depot in Sidcup for new homes.

Planning experts at the council are considering new proposals to turn a “derelict” and disused coach house in Wren Road into apartments.

According to the developer: “The property is just disused land which, should consent be granted, will bring life back into the road again and make the

frontage a more pleasing residential setting.

“The property is brownfield land ready for redevelopment.”

If given the green light the site will feature four apartments, two one and two two-bedroom apartments.

A previous application for six flats was thrown out by the council in April.

The council refused the plans because of its design and height, and the development’s potential impact on parking.

According to the decision notice: “The proposed building is considered to be assertive and not in keeping with the prevailing character and appearance of the immediate area of Wren Road and Lewis Road.”

In the new plan there is one parking space for each apartment.

The developer said of their scaled back plan: “The proposal helps fulfil a local professional person housing need in the area and fits comfortably in the location proposed with all the facilities that a modern-day property offers.”

The application is being considered by experts at the council and a decision will be made in the next few months.
