I can confirm that according to the planning appeal submitted on behalf of Berkeley Homes that construction will cease at the end of this month.
The appeal can be viewed at http://acolnet.lewisham.gov.uk/ACOLLATEDOCS/37462_1.pdf with section 6.16 referring to the cash flow problems that have occurred due to the wrong number of 2 bedroom flats verses 1 bedroom flats.

In my opinion this cash flow crisis is not the result of the different numbers of bedrooms in the units, but due to overall market conditions which have lead to a significant reduction in demand for new build. The numbers of bedrooms is not of material consideration. Berkeley Homes continues to ask very high levels for these properties and their unwillingness to reduce prices is only to ensure they get to build the more profitable 1 bedroom units rather than 2 bedroom units.

The insistence on switching this development from prominently 2 bedroom units to prominently 1 bedroom units takes no account of the needs of Forest Hill residents and the needs of the community. Holding us to ransom by leaving an ugly building site in the centre of our town shows their contempt for local residents.

I now need to put this in more diplomatic language and write my 4th response to a planning proposal in the last week - August is a busy month for damaging planning applications.
