Recent proposals for new developments in Vauxhall have raised concerns about the very high densities of high-rise developments on and near Vauxhall Cross.

The proposed Kylun Towers are a further embodiment of the lost opportunities to upgrade an area that was crying out for sensitive re-use of redundant and neglected industrial land and a river front with great potential.

The combination of excessive density and over-development of this handkerchief sized piece of land proposed by the Kylun scheme with its two towers encircled by busy roads on all sides would be dominating the surrounding area, thereby creating an oppressive, hostile environment.

There would be no sense of the open space residents, hotel guests and employees should reasonably expect when they approach or leave the building.

The development also represents a mismatch between need and supply of family housing, whilst putting further pressure on transport links an other infrastructure already at capacity.

DO NOT CONDEMN VAUXHALL TO BECOME MANHATTAN

Planning Permission is being sought to build a 42 storey Tower on the Bondway site.

We the undersigned Oppose the granting of Planning Permission Because;

• SERIOUS IMPACT ON MICROCLIMATE
This Tower will create a HUGE SHADOW and create a WIND TUNNEL effect.

• SERIOUS INCREASE IN NOISE
The Tower will AMPLIFY already High Levels of NOISE in Vauxhall from Aircraft, Railway, Road Traffic etc.

• SERIOUS IMPACT ON EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE
Transport, Parking etc are already OVERLOADED. Additional 1000 people will put pressure on Transport Links and local amenities such as Vauxhall Park.

• LOSS OF VAUXHALLS HERITAGE
Proposes DEMOLITION of one of Vauxhalls few Heritage buildings. Creates PRECEDENT for more Towers. We are NOT Opposed to DEVELOPMENT Per Se. Only that falls outside the Lambeth SDP Plan and that DOES NOT have a serious Impact on Local Communities and Eco Systems.

Oppose the 146m tall Octave Tower. Please Sign The Following Petition;
