According to this June newsletter a ballot has been held:
In March 2022, residents of Elm Grove voted ‘Yes’ to regeneration in what was Sutton’s first estate regeneration ballot. 78.6% of residents supported plans for a new neighbourhood with modern homes and improved amenities for current and future residents to enjoy.
It is not however clear what residents were balloted on. There is no Landlord Offer in the public domain. The scheme is not listed in the Mayor's list of schemes where there have been positive ballot results.
