A mother of twins with chronic lung disease has spoken out about her fears about the council’s  Chatham Hall plans.

The plans, the public consultation on which ended on March 11, involve building a new library, community hall and apartments in Northcote Road, Battersea.

Peri Miller, who lives at 20 Halston Close, says the plans will mean her house will be directly attached to an apartment block and the ongoing construction will mean she will mostly likely have to move and uproot her family.

Peri has three children, Billy, 2, and twins Matty and Tommy, 1. Her twins suffer from chronic lung disease and have been in hospital three times already this year. They are registered disabled.

The concerned mum said their respiratory systems would not be able to handle the ongoing construction.

She said: "We’d have no use of the garden.

"I wouldn’t be able to keep the windows open.

"I won’t be able to live here and this is finally my dream home."

Peri fears she will not be listened to because she lives in a council owned flat, adding: "What was my dream home is turning into an absolute nightmare."

A Wandsworth Council spokesperson said: "The concerns of neighbouring households and their individual circumstances will be carefully considered following the consultation before any decision is made on whether to bring forward a planning application."

She is not the only resident to oppose the plans.

A petition has been set up to save a playground attached to a nursery that will be demolished under the plans. It has gained more than 700 supporters.

Alphabet Nursery School opened in 1989, while the head teacher has been there since 1990. In addition to losing the play area, residents are worried the increased housing will put pressure on local amenities and that construction will cause air and noise pollution.

Allison McKenzie-Lewis, head teacher, said she is "pretty devastated" about the proposals.
