The+Developer's+Proposal

The area next to the main entrance to the underground is known as Wards Corner. The proposal is to demolish existing buildings, and replace with new retail and 200 flats.

The developer's webpage is at [|http://www.wardscornerregeneration.co.uk/.] The site includes everything that was shown at the exhibition at the weekend 13/14 July, including the three options for the open space on the corner that they want feedback on. There is an online form for feedback. As I understand it, the options aren't fixed in stone so we won't just end up with whichever one gets the most votes. The company running the development is Grainger plc http://www.graingertrust.co.uk/default.asp, formerly Grainger Trust. Their history is in property management not development and they intend to retain management of the new development rather than sell it on. They are a well-established company. According to the representative I spoke to on Saturday they do not have a track record in this type of development although they have several "in the pipeline". The nearest live example they have to the Ward's Corner development is Pimlico Place. http://www.graingertrust.co.uk/ResidentialDevelopment-ViewDev-Comp.asp?1.
