Actress Sarah Hadland has urged Brits to protect their communities from Labour's housing blitz as she joins an army of celebrities in fighting against an 'incongruous' development in her own charming village.The Miranda star, 54, has accused her Labour-run council of destroying Blackheath - London's first conservation area - amid developer's plans to build 45 'ugly' new homes in the heart of the community.Acorn, the north London developer, has submitted plans to build 20 terraced houses and 25 flats as part of two towering blocks in the Blackheath Station car park, where the thriving farmer's market is held every Sunday. Ms Hadland, who has lived in the south-east London village for more than 20 years, is one of 638 locals to formally submit objections to Lewisham Council - making up some 97 per cent of the 660 public comments.Such is the opposition against the plans, an open letter has been submitted by a host of A-list celebrities including Hollywood heartthrob Jude Law, fashion legend Jeff Banks and renowned author and humanitarian Sir Terry Waite.Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail, Ms Hadland said: 'This is a good landmark to say 'no this has to stop, you cannot destroy areas to make money for private developers'. 'They are the ones that are going to come out this the best. How does that work? They don't have to live here.'Ms Hadland, who was a Strictly Come Dancing finalist last year, added: 'It's very wrong and has to be stopped. If it doesn't, this will become routine everywhere across this country. People will just be going, 'We'll build where we like because we want to make money'.'Under the plans in Blackheath, the 162-space car park would be reduced to just 17 - something locals fear will create 'fighting for spaces'.

Pictured: Concept images of the developmentCampaigners also say the scale and design of the buildings is out of character for the area, will 'dwarf' the existing Victorian-style terraces on Collins Street and looks over a primary school.'I appreciate all different types of architecture but if you put something as sympathetic as that, it just looks extraordinary,' Ms Handland said.The mother-of-one has accused the council of hypocrisy, enforcing strict planning laws on residents while pushing through developer's projects.She explained: 'I live right in the heart of the village and I've had work done on my property and the rules have been incredibly strictly and rightly so. I understand and I've abided by those rules.'So to suddenly see the council themselves are going to let this north London building company Acorn build these flats is mystifying. 'You think hang on a minute. We're the one's paying the council tax and we have to abide by these rules but why are you allowed to do this? 'I just think it's very indicative of what's going to be going up and down the country when it would appear that council's are bending the rules to make money. 'But the people paying the consequences and the council tax and abiding by the rules are going to be traders and families and children.'And it's taking amenities from the community - the car park and the farmer's market which is a huge part of the Blackheath community.'She added: 'They're going to have these ugly blocks of very modern flats which are completely incongruous.'The car park spaces will go down to 17, there won't be parking. It's a small village, it already gets congested. Where are people going to park? Where are people buying the flats going to park?'You are suddenly introducing a lot of traffic and fighting for parking spaces. I've already seen a few near misses with children with people trying to quickly reverse into a spot.'My two biggest concerns are the pollution and the safety of kids, you've got several schools and primary schools and nurseries in the village. Kids crossing roads, it's going to be a nightmare.'It's a little village. It's not designed for lorries to be thundering through.'Ms Hadland described Blackheath, which became London's first conservation area jointly with Greenwich in 1968, as a 'beautiful' area.But she added: 'It's not just the fact of whether it's a beautiful area or not... I think it's something that seems to be happening up and down the country where residents in an area are being set to one set of standards.'In a rallying call to Brits, she said: 'If you have the means to oppose something like this, you absolutely must. This village has really galvanised to go 'no you can't do this'. Sarah Hadland is best known for her role as Stevie in Miranda. She was also a finalist on Strictly last yearPictured is an aerial view of the car park next to the train station where the development is planned Acorn, the north London developer, has submitted plans to build 20 terraced houses and 25 flats as part of two towering blocks in the Blackheath Station (pictured) car park Locals say the development is not in keeping with the character of their charming village'If people aren't able to do this, if they don't have the time or the resources to complain, they will be running roughshod over various parts of the country just to make money.'The people that pay the real price are the residents who have built the communities over time.'You are applying a very different set of rules to law abiding residents than you are to developers. The only difference is developers have got cash in their pockets because they know they are going to make even more cash. Does that money come back to the community? No, it doesn't.'There are not that many villages in London left. You always come back to another key point, which is safety. That has to be the fundamental element of anything. A tiny village is not the right place to build newbuilds, we don't have the infrastructure, it's not safe.'Ms Hadland is one of hundreds of locals who have strongly objected to the development.Also fighting it is Jude Law who penned: 'I grew up in Blackheath. My junior school was across from the site where this proposed development will take place.'This plan does not answer housing needs. Instead this plan will enforce a strain on a wonderful old village that deserves our protection.'Musician Chris Difford from the band Squeeze, which was formed locally, said: 'This is heartbreaking – Blackheath has a skyline that is already suffocated by the horizon of Canary Wharf and the buildings in neighbouring Lewisham.'We must respect the beauty and freedom that the sky provides around Blackheath Village and say no to this new development.' Hundreds of residents of Blackheath in south-east London are up in arms over the proposals, which they think are too large and 'out of keeping' for the area. Pictured: An architect's design for the redevelopment Jude Law penned: 'I grew up in Blackheath. My junior school was across from the site where this proposed development will take place.'Dire Straits musician Mark Knopfler said: 'Blackheath has always been a treasured area and one of London's last intact villages. Let's please leave it alone.'Sir Terry Waite added: 'My wife and I have had a house in Blackheath for over forty five years. It is a unique London Village where residents have both a strong sense of community and a respect for the distinctive features of Blackheath. 'The proposed development would severely impact the Farmers Market and place further strain on our overcrowded roadways. Furthermore it is totally out of sympathy with local buildings. I stand strongly opposed to this proposed project.'And Jeff Banks, who opened his first shop in Blackheath called Clobber, wrote: 'To imagine Blackheath succumbing to ill-conceived and mindless planning that would significantly change the historical value and heritage of one of London's jewels in the crown does not bear thinking about. Sense must prevail over greed.' A spokesman for Acorn said: 'The pre-application process was accompanied and informed by engagement [via in-person events, as well as online] with local residents, businesses and stakeholders including the Blackheath Society – and the team continue to welcome comments and enquiries from interested residents and businesses throughout the planning process.'The proposed development will deliver 45 high-quality sustainable homes, including much needed, entirely social-rented, family sized affordable housing, re-provision and enhancement of the farmers market and a substantial number of public benefits prioritising a socially, environmentally, and economically sustainable development that supports both residents and the natural environment.'
