The Stag Brewery Scheme

I see from the front page that this has got the go ahead.   Can’t see this being good for Mortlake and North Sheen. The traffic is really bad on Clifford Avenue, and that area.  Isn’t the site being used as film studios at the moment?  Why didn’t they try to keep this? Add into this, the Barnes Hospital development, it’s just too much for the neighbourhood.

A new development of a couple of thousand people will no doubt do wonders for the traffic congestion on the lower richmond road in Putney.

You still have the Ship Pub and the Jolly Gardeners, by the Brewery. and the sports ground. Wonder what will happen with them.

Manor Lane Richmond, is all closed down the Pets at Home and Homebase.  As for the Brewery site a few years back they shut the Napier Pub and that is now houses. They appear to have been filming for a while at the Brewery site. I'm sure the picture on the front page makes it look a lot bigger than what it will be.

Hello Martine,Yes, I saw the headline and felt rather deflated. It is true that the site needs redeveloping and quite a few residents are (were?) looking forward to it.  In this scale?  That is another question.  It is interesting to note that only 65 out of the proposed 1,075 homes will be affordable.I suppose film studios are not as profitable as the redevelopment?I have visions of the horrific development of the ex Homebase and B&Q sites by Wandsworth roundabout.
