A Sydenham developer just got the go-ahead to nearly double the number of homes on Longton Avenue, adding an extra floor to the building after a 6-1 council vote. Tengu Ltd argued the original plan was no longer financially viable, claiming the revised design is more efficient and still fits within the site’s permitted ratio. But residents and local groups are furious — calling the development out of character, environmentally damaging, and worst of all, lacking any affordable housing, despite the developer’s promise to fund such units elsewhere. The committee acknowledged the concerns but sided with the developer, citing economic necessity and design efficiency — a decision that could still be challenged, highlighting the growing clash between housing demand and community priorities.
