@SaveNorthwoldE5 @hackneycouncil @save_britannia @shoreditchpark And most of that”new public square”will be hard surfaced and sit immediately next to 2 towers of market sales up to 25 storeys.All the res dev on this part of the site,388 flats,will be market sales.Any pretence of a “mixed and balanced community” claimed elsewhere is jettisoned

[Robin Hawkes @RobinHawkes1]

.@hackneycouncil planning app for @save_britannia ignores loss of green spaces in its grounds because they’re not “designated open space”.Over 60 mature trees to be lost as well as spaces used by many Britannia users-to be built over in massive over development. @shoreditchpark

[Robin Hawkes @RobinHawkes1]

.@hackneycouncil planning app for @save_britannia includes 388 of the 400 market sales in towers up to 25 storeys on one site overlooking @shoreditchpark and no other tenures on this site at all.What happened to the “good balance between the tenures” claimed elsewhere?

[Robin Hawkes @RobinHawkes1]

Spring in the grounds of @save_britannia . Over 60 mature trees, some here for 30 years+, to be swept away as part of @hackneycouncil massive overdevelopment of site. @shoreditchpark

[Robin Hawkes @RobinHawkes1]

@save_britannia Documents for pre-planning application meeting 13 February. Council considers tenure mix “had a good balance”: 400 market sales (in 3 towers) and 80 “Affordable”. @shoreditchpark https://t.co/CXOZheYrXY via @UKChange

@jonburkeUK @MissJuliePoolie @PhilipGlanville Surely @jeremycorbyn would be in favour of local democracy?

[Save Britannia @save_britannia]

@jonburkeUK @MissJuliePoolie @PhilipGlanville @jeremycorbyn But both Hackney CLPs passed motions calling for moratorium on Britannia plans.

@HackneyYIMBY The campaign is entirely of the community and their concerns about this delevelpment. You have a wider agenda. We will clearly not agree.

[Save Britannia @save_britannia]

@HackneyYIMBY The campaign is conducted openly with public meetings for local residents and amplifies their voices. Who are you representing?

[Save Britannia @save_britannia]

@HackneyYIMBY The campaign is not representing local residents, it *is* local residents.

[Save Britannia @save_britannia]

@HackneyYIMBY You don’t agree that local residents should have control over what happens in their area? That seems a little elitist. Who *should* decide?

As usual, @hackneycouncil downplaying massive development of 400 market sales in 3 towers @save_britannia & @shoreditchpark site describing it only in passing :”as well as private housing” https://t.co/PQ4R5FBf0B
