Wandsworth Local Plan - Tooting Strategy

​Wandsworth Council is currently consulting local residents on its ‘Local Plan’ document on developments for the borough across the next 15 years. This plan identifies Tooting as a potential area for regeneration, where proposals include new sustainable transport, improvements to public realm, and contributions to the health and wellbeing of residents.

​The Council have proposed three development sites in Tooting, which are:

1. Market Area, Tooting High Street: Site is north east of the junction of Tooting High Street and Garratt Lane, bound by Totterdown Street to the north and the residential homes along Longmead Road to the east. The Council believe there is an opportunity to create high quality mixed use/retail development with new public spaces here, retaining market space and providing residential flats to upper floors.

2. St George’s Hospital Car Park and Adjoining Land on Blackshaw Road/Maybury Street: The Council are looking into using this site for hospital-related and residential uses.
​

​3. 56 Tooting High Street on the west corner of the Garratt Lane and Tooting High Street junction: The Council are considering using this site for a development of sustainable architecture and urban design, as well as considering the planting of street trees on Garratt Lane.

Further information on these proposals can be found here.

Whilst I hold no authority over Wandsworth Council, it is important to me that residents, businesses and organisations have their say on these proposals.
