A development in Blackheath that will see trees cut down and leave disabled residents in darkness was criticised in light of the conclusion of Ella Kissi-Debrah’s inquest. The nine-year-old, who lived near the South Circular in Lewisham, became the first person in the UK to have air pollution listed as a cause of death on Wednesday (December 16). Assistant Coroner Philip Barlow concluded that traffic fumes, which exceeded World Health Organization guidelines, contributed to Ella’s death. On the same day Lewisham’s strategic planning committee approved a planning application for Blackheath Business Estate. Members were tied four against and four in support, but the casting vote from the chair approved the plans.
