The range of unit size for the one beds is 50-55sqm, there will also be some larger 1bed homes at 71sqm, which can be allocated as standard homes.

We had initially provided a range of 71sqm to 76sqm for the 2 bed units.  Following feedback from the Bromley Planners we have made all of the 2 beds uniform, and they are now 71sqm, this does not include the private out door space.

The spaces shown are excluding balconies.

7 no. 1-bed homes, 13no. 3-bed homes, 3no. 3-bed homes, 1no. 4-bed homes.

The examples shown is of an open-plan 1-bed flat and a 2-bed flat with a separate kitchen. In the equivalent open-plan 2-bed flat, the area would be approximately 28sqm (the kitchen plus the living/diner).

The 2-bed flats are 71 sqm as standard with larger wheelchair accessible flats of over 90sqm. These are larger than the minimum requirement for 2-bed 4 person flats of 70sqm.

The top floor balconies will be the same design as those on floors below. There will be not be additional cover constructed above them.

The layouts of the apartments will be similar to that previously shown but not an exact match as the Blocks have changed. We will be developing the layouts in detail as part of the next stage and will be able to discuss them with you in due course.

Block C – There will be family homes on the ground floor with one 3-bed on the top floor, but larger in size.

Block A & D – All family homes are on the ground floor

Block E – this is where the houses are situated. There will be 3 properties for Social Rent or London Affordable Rent in this phase.

This is a planted/green area in front of the buildings and walkways to keep people away from front doors and windows and to provide privacy for the ground floor homes.

All of the flats are adaptable for fittings and fixtures like hand rails and wet rooms.

The sizing for a wheelchair unit, will be larger than the standard unit size.

All door entry to the blocks will have modern, secure Fob entry access which can also be restricted to the floors that residents live in.

Standard of doors and windows are more modern and up to date, the scheme will be secure by design through passive surveillance, this means public areas such as walkways, parking and green spaces will be overlooked by resident windows and balconies. External areas will also be well lit with key fob access to all blocks.

Once planning has been approved by Bromley council we will talk to you about the allocations process.

We are committed to keeping the existing estate in good repair and maintenance throughout the redevelopment journey, however we understand that there have been some recent issues with the heating and hot water and we have been working hard to resolve this.

All blocks will have two lifts.

There are no garages within the redevelopment proposal.

Every home will have its own outdoor private space in the form of a balcony or garden.

As with the previous layouts, homes with 2-bedrooms and above that can have a separate kitchen will have a separate window. Kitchens on open plan homes will have windows into the Living/Kitchen/Dining space.

Yes, there will be an opening window on the balcony.

Family units are mostly located on the ground floor, apart from a 3-bed apartment on the 4^th floor of Block C.

Yes, this will be as part of the consultation workshops that we will hold with you. We will share this at a later date.

The layouts of the apartments will be similar to that previously shown but not an exact match as the Blocks have changed. We will be developing the layouts in detail as part of the next stage and will be able to discuss them with you. All flats will have balconies which will be sized to meet at least the minimum required sizes or better.

Everyone will have their own private outdoor space along with shared outdoor space, for both the affordable and private tenure.

The 1 beds ranged from 50 – 56sqm for standard apartments and larger for the wheelchair accessible apartments. We discussed having some larger 1-bed apartments in the block decanting Burnt Ash Heights, which is still the aspiration as we develop the detailed layouts. The 55sqm 1-bed homes are currently in Block A, which is re-housing residents from Burnt Ash Heights.

In line with the GLA minimum space standard, bathrooms will be at least 4.4sqm minimum.

Yes, we will have communal Sky dishes on each block available and we are in talks with Virgin Media.

Existing tenants will remain at the social rent that they are on, new tenants will be set at London affordable rents. ‘Affordable housing’ is a term for all blocks that are not privately sold.

Once we have secured the planning application, we will hold further workshops with you to discuss the cost of living in your home, including service charge and utilities.

We plan to submit a planning application in Spring next year, and with planning approval granted, our intention is to start on site in Spring 2022.

Further work is being undertaken right now and this will be shared with residents shortly. The promise of the single decant remains, which dictates the build programme, We are assessing how quickly we can complete each block in detail.

Countryside are working through the detail of this and will provide you with a construction plan on how this will work over the coming months

Under the revised proposal we have renamed the blocks, this is due to the change in the number of blocks along Burnt Ash Lane, there are now just 3 blocks (A,B & C), and not 4 blocks (A,B,C & D) as outline in our proposal last year. The updated block names and build phase is outlined below;

Phase 1 – Block C (Mede and Wells)

Phase 2 – Block A (Burnt Ash Heights) & Block B (Private sale)

Phase 3 – Block E (Lavisham)

This build programme will be finalised as part of the detailed design work after planning permission is granted. We anticipate the duration of the start to finish will be a total of 8 years once works commences.

The energy strategy is being reviewed by both Countryside and Riverside.  Any decisions made must be in line with the current legislation, which are under constant review, we will consult and update you further on this, in due course.

The private homes for sale will be on the market for anyone that would like to purchase their own property.

This is not something that we have looked into. We will work with Countryside to understand if any properties can be sold under discount.  We will come back to you on this.

The planners at Bromley Council did not accept the height of the block which BAH were moving into., This was due to the impact the block had on neighbouring properties.  As this block was in the first phase, we had to redesign the scheme to ensure we could build in a sequence that would meet both the planning feedback and also ensured we remain committed to the single move for existing tenants.  As a result of this, the location of all blocks and phase in which you move has changed for everyone.

There will be 100 parking spaces and we have committed to providing a parking space to those tenants that already have a parking space on the estate.

There have been many questions with regards to the parking such as;

1. BAH is on the corner of Kynaston Road, is it mainly for people of BAH or are other blocks able to park there?
2. Can car parking allocations be allocated by house numbers and by building to avoid disputes?
3. As far as I am aware, no-one has been allocated parking at present. How do we know who gets allocated parking?
4. Will there be poles to manage the parking bays?

 Please note that we have not yet worked through the parking management, there will be further consultation with you on this at a later stage.

We are required to provide 10% disabled parking bays across the site, these will be shared amongst both the affordable and private sale homes.

More information will come once planning has been agreed, we will then consult on the management plan for parking.

Our commitment is to existing residents who currently own a vehicle. It is unlikely that we will allocate more than the 100 spaces

Block C is one block, which will accommodate Mede and Wells. It has 24 flats with one entrance for all.

The size and shape of the blocks have changed and so the floor plans will not be the same. However, the principles discussed around the design of the homes will be the same.

No, the blocks for the affordable have been built and allocated for our existing tenants.

This is due to the changes we have had to make following the planning feedback (see question 1).

The location of the blocks is being driven by the phasing and where we can locate the size of the blocks so as not to negatively impact the neighbours. We also strongly believe that a mixed community of private and existing residents will make for a better Pike Close.

We will primarily ensure that your new home meets your housing need and we will work with you to meet your preferences as far as possible.

Yes, you do have a right to move off the estate either permanently or temporarily.  Everyone has the right to return.  For more information, please contact your Housing Office, Ephraim Maseya or your Resident Liaison Officer, Mandy Rana.
