This month, David Ciccone Architects applied to Bromley Council to knock down the garages at147-161 Westmoreland Road and build six terraced houses.
The proposal states that following the demolition, six terraced houses will be built.
The homes will have two bedrooms each, capable of housing three people.
Two garages on the site will be kept where there will be six parking spaces for each household.
There would also be two additional parking spaces for visitors.
Three of the parking spaces will have electric charging stations.
The proposal also states that there will be six cycle stores, each with electric charging bays, with a total capacity of 18 cycle spaces.
In the planning statement, the developers said they reached out to neighbours, which concluded that neighbours would prefer the site to be redeveloped for housing instead of industrial purposes.
This stemmed from fears of noise concerns and potential increase in anti-social behaviour.
The planners said that the proposal will avoid new residents from overlooking existing residents’ properties.
They stated: “There are no windows with direct outlook facing towards the adjacent flats, as outlook from all the first-floor windows has been directed onto the new internal street, creating a muse style feel to the residential development.
“Outlook from bedroom windows have been deflected by angled windows and opaque panes, to direct views and prevent overlooking between new properties.
“Proposed street trees also offer additional defensive space and visual screening.”
The planners said the site has “good transport accessibility” despite Transport for London (TfL) giving the Westmoreland Road a Public Transport Accessibility Leve (PTAL) rating of 2 meaning access to public transport is relatively poor.
The closest train station is Bromley South which is a 22-minute walk away from Westmoreland Road.
The site itself is near a parade of shops, including convenience store LOCO, and petrol station Esso of Bromley Tesco Express.
No objections have been submitted on the Bromley Council website at this point.
Bromley Council will decide whether to approve or reject the plan on December
