Are you supportive of the plans?
Hundreds of people have objected to the plan, with concerns over a lack of affordable housing, the “pressure” on congested streets and loss of daylight for nearby homes.
That plan includes 330 Build to Rent apartments and 2,000 square metres of retail floorspace — and has received over 250 public comments. The current shopping centre would remain open while phase one was developed. The community council welcomed plans “to redevelop Shawlands Arcade, which has been a long-standing concern for the community”, but objected to “the proposals in their current form.”Tenants’ union Living Rent’s objection stated: “In the midst of a rent and cost of living crisis, a development that only proposes luxury flats with zero provision of social rents does not improve access to housing across all tenures.
The redevelopment also offers the opportunity to provide new homes in this increasingly popular area,” it stated, adding “a lower degree of refurbishment of the existing retail offer could not deliver this level of regeneration and like many town centre shopping arcades of its era, its relative decline would likely continue.”
