Streatham Megabowl Plans Rejected
3. The last proposal 2. The second proposal 3. The first proposal
Property Developer Glentoran has had it’s plans for the redevelopment of the Megabowl/Ceasars site rejected for the third time. The controversial proposal has divided many in Streatham, with a large number of local businesses in favour but most resident associations against it. The Streatham Guardian reported yesterday that planners had recommended the proposals get the go-ahead but, according to Councillor Steve Reed, Lambeth Council’s planning committee rejected the plans at a meeting yesterday evening.
What does this mean for Streatham? Lost oppurtunity for desperately needed investment and development? Or is it a good decision to help ensure Streatham ends up with a development which doesn’t have such a big impact on the local area?
Whatever happens with this site let’s hope it doesn’t become another Streatham Hub, with the buildings laying derelict for many more years to come.
