Councillors believe 'this was the wrong scheme for this site'


Incipio's Pergola on the Roof plan

Incipio's controversial application for a Pergola on the Roof bar on the Exchange Shopping Centre has been withdrawn.

Councillor Rosemary Torrington told this website, "Thamesfield councillors are delighted and relieved to report that the application to install a Pergola on the Roof above the Exchange has been withdrawn. We are keen to see regeneration of the High Street but this was the wrong scheme for this site."

The plan was for the creation of a restaurant and bar area which would cater for up to 500 people and serve food and alcohol late at night. If it was approved it would have resulted in the loss of 50 car parking spaces.

It was being proposed by Incipio together with BlackRock, the owners of Putney Exchange. Local residents voiced concerns on the forum of the website, ranging from noise, loss of parking, behaviour on the surrounding streets.
