Council rejects Proctor & Shaw scheme to replace 1950s bungalow in south-west London

A one-off bungalow designed by Eric Lyons close to the architect’s groundbreaking Parkleys development in Ham, south-west London, has been saved from demolition.

Campaign group the Twentieth Century Society applauded the London Borough of Richmond’s decision to refuse permission for proposals to knock down the 1950s property and replace it with a single-storey scheme designed by Proctor & Shaw Architects.
