Monson, for social housing.[1][2] The buildings, which housed 2,200 people in 764 apartments, were completed in 1913.[1][2] The buildings are owned by Affinity Sutton, an affordable housing trust in London.[3] In 2015, Chelsea residents protested the eviction of some low-income tenants while the trust planned to turn some apartments into luxury properties for private landlords.[3] They accused the trust of "social cleansing".[4] In 2016, Affinity moved residents out of 159 flats and had workmen make the properties uninhabitable by smashing windows, doors, sinks and toilets[5] in advance of a plan to demolish the buildings and replace them with 237 new social rent flats and 100 to be sold at market rate to support the redevelopment. Kensington and Chelsea Borough Council rejected the application and a public inquiry is being held. In August 2017, it was suggested that the empty flats could temporarily house the survivors from the Grenfell Tower fire in North Kensington.[6] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite book|title=A History of the County of Middlesex|date=2004|publisher=Victoria County History|location=London|pages=79–90|url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/middx/vol12/pp79-90|via=British History Online|volume=12}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Sutton Dwellings}}{{London-stub}}{{Architecture-stub}}2. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=THE HISTORY BEHIND SUTTON DWELLINGS, CHELSEA|url=http://chelseasociety.org.uk/history-behind-sutton-dwellings-chelsea/|website=Chelsea Society|accessdate=May 4, 2016}} 3. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Booth|first1=Robert|title=Chelsea residents fight landlord's plan to sell off social housing estate|url=https://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/feb/12/chelsea-landlord-keith-exford-sell-off-william-sutton-social-housing|accessdate=May 4, 2016|work=The Guardian|date=February 12, 2015}} 4. ^{{cite news|last1=Churchill|first1=David|last2=Pettit|first2=Josh|title=Tenants condemn 'social cleansing' plans of Chelsea estate|url=https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/tenants-condemn-social-cleansing-plans-of-chelsea-estate-10044844.html|accessdate=May 4, 2016|work=London Evening Standard|date=February 13, 2015}} 5. ^{{cite news|last1=Batty|first1=David|title=Why are housing association flats lying empty when Grenfell survivors need them?|url=https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/sep/20/kensington-housing-association-flats-empty-grenfell-survivors|accessdate=20 September 2017|work=The Guardian|date=20 September 2017}} 6. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.lbc.co.uk/news/london/west/kensington-chelsea/grenfell-tower-fire/159-council-houses-in-grenfell-borough-lying-empty/ |title=Enough Empty Council Flats In One Chelsea Block To House All Grenfell Families |publisher=LBC |date=7 August 2017 }} 4 : Chelsea, London|Buildings and structures in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea|Residential buildings completed in 1913|1913 establishments in England |
