Westmead Road 71-75

Description

The Westmead Road Affordable Housing Scheme, proposed by Sutton Council, aims to deliver 34 new, high-quality, and energy-efficient affordable homes at 71-75 Westmead Road in the Carshalton Central Ward. The site currently has existing planning permission for 35 homes. This permission will be modified via a Section 73 application, to be presented at the Planning Committee on 3rd December, 2025. This adjustment will ensure compliance with current building and safety standards and achieve a better mix of 34 homes. This project aligns with Sutton Council's corporate plan, "Ambitious for Sutton," by prioritizing quality and affordable housing, social inclusion, and sustainable development, with a strong focus on action on climate change. The scheme will aim to achieve Passivhaus standards, significantly reducing heating costs for residents and contributing to the borough's net-zero and biodiversity goals. The site is centrally located within the London Borough of Sutton, approximately 800 metres from Sutton town centre. It is currently vacant, following demolition works undertaken pursuant to the extant planning consent.
