March 2010 - PLANNING PROTEST
ref 2C and 2D Belsize Park Gardens
Many local people are unhappy about this planning
proposal and have asked me to let them have the
information needed to protest.
Now we have a tree-lined vista, with houses built below the
outside walls, so that they do not detract from the streetscape.
After, we lose the space and apparently the trees.
See what what the Belsize Residents
Association (BRA) have to say - HERE
