As I said in my earlier post, the work on the road and underpass will continue, so Perry Vale will not be closed until the planning application appeal is resolved, unless of course those works need to take that long.
And according to recent housing needs surveys for Lewisham, 1 bedrom flats are not what is needed in our borough. What we need are more 3 bedroom family sized units, which is what we will continue to encourage developers to incorporate in their developments where we can.
As I understand it, the economic thinking is if the 2 bedroom units were not selling, why should anyone buy a 1 bedroom unit for not much less in price?
