Hackbridge Questionnaire Schedule Centres District Centre Full Name: Carole Cook Organisation: Comment ID: 3 Support Vision to make Hackbridge Greenest Suburb: New mixed use district centre, civic square, station forecourt and bus interchange close to station: this will further congest an already traffic heavy area. Full Name: Mrs Christine Barrett Organisation: Comment ID: 17 Support Vision to make Hackbridge Greenest Suburb: Yes Great to have district centre, would be lovely if it could look 'continental' like the squares they have in villages in Spain, France and Greece. Full Name: Ms S Petruccciani Organisation: Comment ID: 23 Support Vision to make Hackbridge Greenest Suburb: Yes We could have a monumental fountain in a square with water that is recycled all the time and not wasted. Full Name: John Knight Organisation: Comment ID: 58 Support Vision to make Hackbridge Greenest Suburb: Yes Can't see the point in more shops, will only take trade from current shops. Full Name: Miss Esther Barker Organisation: Comment ID: 59 Support Vision to make Hackbridge Greenest Suburb: Yes I think the proposals are a great move in the right direction and providing a future for Hackbridge. I believe that Carshalton High Street should be looked at as an example of an efficient shopping area that provides for the community. Hackbridge needs a wider selection of shops but no more take away establishments. The majority of what is offered on Hackbridge High Street is convenience stores and fast food bars. We need a butchers, grocers, cafe, bank and a more comprehensive general food store. Hackbridge needs to have a more noticable community feel. Full Name: Mr Jon Barnard Organisation: Comment ID: 62 Support Vision to make Hackbridge Greenest Suburb: Yes The plan appears to cover the major aspects which are of interest. I would like to know what the council plans to do to get the local businesses to improve the appearance of there shops? Currently the shops don't serve the needs of the community, such as butchers , we don't want to become like Mitcham, i.e. fast food, 99p shops etc, so what is being done to ensure we attract the right type of business and reduce the existing ones? for example 4 newsagents in one area is excessive and none of them take any pride in their shop fronts, and will let down any development? Full Name: Ms Kelly Plaistow Organisation: Comment ID: 91 Support Vision to make Hackbridge Greenest Suburb: Yes I think the shop area is most important its only a short distance from London when you come to the station area & shop area it seems lost, not much love or comfort to this area. Full Name: Maria Vidal Organisation: Page 1 of 44 Centres District Centre Full Name: Maria Vidal Organisation: Comment ID: 100 Support Vision to make Hackbridge Greenest Suburb: Yes a nice cafe would be nice, so i could meet my friends with children Full Name: Caroline Takis Organisation: Comment ID: 127 Support Vision to make Hackbridge Greenest Suburb: Yes We desperately need a range of shops within walking distance from Hackbrdige station, a nice good shop, coffee shop etc Full Name: Ms Keeley Organisation: Comment ID: 137 Support Vision to make Hackbridge Greenest Suburb: Yes Hackbridge has no focus at the moment. The central area near the station with community centre & cafes would create new focus. Full Name: Patricia Hemme Organisation: Comment ID: 140 Support Vision to make Hackbridge Greenest Suburb: Yes It is hard to know what will be involved with the fore-court Full Name: Revd Jackie Robinson Organisation: Hackbridge Spiritualist Church Comment ID: 194 Support Vision to make Hackbridge Greenest Suburb: Yes my church is located in proposed district centre, my congregation are local residents - I would like to be involved and informed. Full Name: Elisa Contreras Organisation: Comment ID: 215 Support Vision to make Hackbridge Greenest Suburb: Yes Shops should be offering local products and create small shops instead of the awful Tescos, Sainsburys etc. Full Name: Ms C N Lloyd Organisation: Comment ID: 281 Support Vision to make Hackbridge Greenest Suburb: Yes There does not appear to be any mention of a supermarket in the area; 2200 using the local supermarkets at Carshalton and Wallington may be good for those businesses but will not make it a pleasant shopping experience for customers. How will businesses be encouraged to open up in Hackbridge? Will there be a restriction on the number of takeaways? Full Name: Sharon Prim Organisation: Comment ID: 285 Support Vision to make Hackbridge Greenest Suburb: Yes Please get rid of all the fast food places in Hackbridge. Full Name: J Anderson Organisation: Page 2 of 44 Centres District Centre Full Name: J Anderson Organisation: Comment ID: 288 Support Vision to make Hackbridge Greenest Suburb: Yes I would like to rebuild Hackbridge corner shops and include a co-operative supermaket with fresh fruit and veg locally produced and a community cafe with fair trade coffee. Full Name: Mathew Marcroft Organisation: Comment ID: 290 Support Vision to make Hackbridge Greenest Suburb: Yes This is an exciting opportunity and overall very positive. Hackbridge needs new businesses, supermarkets etc. Full Name: Anonymous Organisation: Comment ID: 293 Support Vision to make Hackbridge Greenest Suburb: Yes I think the local shops in Hackbridge could be improved. I would like to see a Tesco Express. Sites Felnex Trading Estate Full Name: George and Jacqueline Dow Organisation: Comment ID: 4 Support Vision to make Hackbridge Greenest Suburb: Yes Felnex area to include public seating, primarily for elderly people. Full Name: M Phillips Organisation: Comment ID: 11 Support Vision to make Hackbridge Greenest Suburb: No Felnex Estate saw plans for this 10 years ago nothing happened. Full Name: Karl Rees Organisation: Comment ID: 117 Support Vision to make Hackbridge Greenest Suburb: Yes Felnex is currently an eyesore so anything to redevelop it would be good. Full Name: Mr Chris Harris Organisation: Comment ID: 173 Support Vision to make Hackbridge Greenest Suburb: Yes The Felnex ideas seems too close to Hackbridge Green. Could they lay back a bit and be screened by trees to compliment the green. Also to extend the green to meet the river would bring it back to how it was. Sites Wandle Valley Trading Estate Full Name: Mr John.F Pickup Organisation: Page 3 of 44 Sites Wandle Valley Trading Estate Full Name: Mr John.F Pickup Organisation: Comment ID: 99 Support Vision to make Hackbridge Greenest Suburb: Yes Its difficult to consider the Wandle Valley Trading Estate as suitable for housing development. It has access to public transport and Mitcham & Mitcham Junction tram and railway station. Sites Land North of BedZED Full Name: Mrs Christine Barrett Organisation: Comment ID: 19 Support Vision to make Hackbridge Greenest Suburb: Yes I don't think it is right to disturb a currently established wild area North of BEDZED in order to build on and create a park/open space which will take time for wildlife to establish etc. Full Name: Dr Bella Davies Organisation: Comment ID: 32 Support Vision to make Hackbridge Greenest Suburb: Yes Land north of BedZED The Wandle Trust supports the principle of developing a zero carbon residential area but encourages the LBS to further consider the loss of green space that will occur at this site. Although the mature trees will be retained, there is likely to be a loss of wildlife habitat, including the role of this site in the landscape ecological context of the region. The Wandle Trust recommends that wildlife and habitat studies are undertaken by a qualified ecologist to confirm the value of the current ‘wild’ open space that will be lost, both at the site and the landscape scale, and that it is more than compensated for by the development (e.g. the use of mitigation banking might be considered). Full Name: Dr Bella Davies Organisation: Comment ID: 33 Support Vision to make Hackbridge Greenest Suburb: Yes The Wandle Trust encourages the use of gravel abstracted from the site to be used locally, including for restoration of the natural bed of the River Wandle. The use of the culverts and their integration into the design of the site could be enhanced by including access for anglers. SUDS should also be considered for the land north of BedZED, as detailed for the Felnex Trading Estate. Full Name: Mr Richard Barnes Organisation: Comment ID: 41 Support Vision to make Hackbridge Greenest Suburb: Yes Re Para 3.24. This is inaccurate. The ecological appraisal for the land north of BedZED submitted as part of the Core Strategy evidence base noted that insufficient surveys have been undertaken to fully identify the ecological value of the site. Indeed the evidence submitted confirms that the current designation of the land as a constituent part of a Metropolitan SINC (Beddington Sewage Works, No.9 in the UDP) is fully justified. The proposed use of the land north of BedZED for mixed-use development would result in a loss of protection for the SINC. Full Name: Mrs S.A Tanner Organisation: Comment ID: 57 Support Vision to make Hackbridge Greenest Suburb: Yes Land North of BedZED: We have sustainable green open space now with the common. We do not want houses/flats built on this land. Full Name: Mrs Dee Hyatt Organisation: Friends of Beddington and Grange Parks Comment ID: 86 Support Vision to make Hackbridge Greenest Suburb: Yes I would rather the land north of BedZED remain as green belt and used for a Community Farm or some such. Development is eating into the green areas that could be part of the Wandle Valley Regional Park and are valuable areas for the migration of birds and animals through the borough.
