By comparison (see detailed comments below):
Park House / Cavendish House, Hersham Green. Maximum height 13.90m above ground level.
Lidl, Hersham. Mixed scheme, 90% of the building is 11.75m above ground level.
The developers state that the 6 storey element of the scheme is only 4.5% of the footprint. This is a gross error. The 6 storey element is in fact 60% of the footprint of the building and indeed as much as 37% of the footprint of the whole of the residential scheme. It is also instructive that the 5 storey element of both blocks represents 83% of the footprint of the 2 residential buildings. The developer figure of 4.5% is plainly wrong and highly misleading.
The developers also say the residential scheme is predominantly 3-5 storey with a set back 6 storey element. Once again this is simply incorrect. The scheme is obviously predominantly 5-6 storeys.
The Lidl site is predominantly a 3 storey building with a ground floor store and 2 storeys of residential above. The vast majority of the Lidl development has a maximum height of 11.75m which means the height of the Hersham Centre scheme at 18.55m is 58% higher.
