Mitcham’s biggest housing project yet is moving forward—249 affordable homes rising up to 11 stories on the old Morrisons site, set for completion by 2029. While developers and the council hail it as a win for housing and town revitalization, critics decry it as a violation of local planning rules, warning it could pave the way for unchecked development. Locals call it a “sad day,” fearing the loss of Mitcham’s character. Despite backlash, approval is final—with £1 million pledged for transport and community upgrades—and demolition begins in February 2027. Progress vs. preservation: the debate rages on.
