Part of OGRES remit is to monitor planning applications submitted to the council that affect our area. In some cases these applications would have a detrimental affect on our community and OGRES will work with the local residents to raise these issues with the council. If you are aware of, or have any concerns about planning applications affecting your neighbourhood, then please do not hesitate to contact a member of the committee who would be pleased to help. We are also taking an active part in the London Borough of Sutton Core Planning Strategy consultation process, so if you want to have a say in the future direction of planning in Sutton you should join our group.
Planning Applications
There are currently discussions underway regarding the "Vision for Wallington Town Centre" and OGRES members are currently watching developments and providing input. Of you would like to have an active role in the development of our neighbourhood please get in touch with us.
