The environmental impact placed on residents, such as myself, will undoubtedly cause health problems for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Saskia O\u2019Hara, a legal caseworker at the Public Interest Law Centre, representing residents seeking the judicial review, said: \u201cAcross London, approximately 137 housing estates are marked for demolition. These projects generate substantial greenhouse gas emissions, calling into question our stated commitment to achieving net ero by 2050.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt a minimum, estate residents and the wider public are entitled to assurance that these emissions are accurately assessed, transparently documented and lawfully disclosed to the decision-makers charged with determining whether demolition should proceed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis case exemplifies the point at which the displacement of established communities coincides with irreversible environmental harm and is therefore a matter of substantial public interest and concern.\u201d<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for Peabody said: \u201cWe\u2019re investing in communities in and around South Thamesmead, supporting people, improving public areas and providing much-needed new homes. The planned redevelopment of the Lesnes estate will help us expand this work and create an even better place for local people to live.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will address any legal inquiries that may come up and will continue to support residents during this period of transition.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bexley council has been approached for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
