That is try. A double spy called Edward Chapman was mostly responsible

There is currently a planning permission with southwark to demolish a victorian house and replace it with a 3 storey building containing 3 flats on Hindmans road. Now of course not all will be effected by overlooking balconies, added cars for parking, removal of light etc, it would set precedent to destroy the victorian feel for development Opportunities. To add to insult, the company asking for planning is registered in the Cayman , so I am guessing not much tax on any profit will be paid. planbuild.southwark.gov.uk:8190/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=_STHWR_DCAPR_9568582

Hi, Have pm you

To quote SL Architects : "No one wants to see all gardens removed, but there are multiple examples of large single storey summer houses and outbuildings in and around the area". How they are comparing a wooden shed, with no amenities and no one living it in (our wooden shed with garden stuff is one of the ?large single storey summer houses and outbuildings ?), to a property with two 2 bed flat in it. Most people living in East Dulwich moved here for the gardens, peace and quite and lovely neighbourhood. By setting a precedent that it is OK to build in gardens will ruin the reason we live here. The argument is not about the main building, but by squeezing in as much as possible (i.e. a further house in the current garden) purely for profit. Neither the architect nor the developer will live with the consequence?s of destroying the gardens and all that means for the residents who has invested time and money to make this street. They will just pocket the money and run.

Has anyone had any sort of response from the council? None of my E-mails I sent over 24h ago has been responded to (sent to [email protected] and [email protected])and no one I speak to have any idea who to even speak to.

Renata, I hope you have had more luck then I have. I have been passed around different departments when calling Southwark council. Been given 3 different E-mail addresses to send my enquiry to (one did not even exist). I have yet to have any response or even been given details on who can be of help. These must have been painted by mistake. If these are not removed soon, I will struggle as I have two small children and now can?t even stop outside my house

Who was named in the end as the "best place to Live"?

Edna. nearly "extinct" Irish name. Great if she is born in East Dulwich as well as you can call her Ed or Eddie.

I meant the one corner North Cross Road, the old Police Station

I noticed a 'For Sale' sign up with Knight Frank. They don't seem to have anything on their website yet. Will be very interesting to see what the asking price will be

Where would be the best place in East Dulwich to view the laser show to mark the completion of the Shard tonight at 22:00? I know you can see it from Peckham Rye park but there must be a better place. Any suggestion?

Although I do shop at Iceland, I would much more prefer an M&S. Lordship Lane is evolving (sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse), but that what makes living in East Dulwich so interesting.

The Monarchy is like Christmas: It?d tacky, no one really remembers why we have it, but boy do I love it!

I believe it happened in a flat on Hindmands Road towards Tyrell road. That is at least I heard the first day I moved in on Hindmans Road by a lady opposite that had lived her for 40 years.

I wanted to have a stall on Saturday selling Swedish food (specialising on Gravlax ). Was informed that they don?t grant more food stalls as shops has complained it takes business from them. ?Arts and Craft? would however be appropriate. I live off Nortcross road and I love the fact East Dulwich is becoming a place for food lovers. Shame not everyone share my opinion.

I live on Hindmans road and has just lost my water. Has anyone else?

Does anyone know a pre-school with intake this January? I know Goodrich only has September intake.

Have you tried a bigger size nappy? The plus sizes are very good (i.e. size 4+)

Michael and Loz, If you have no interest in the Parent and Child parking in Sainsbury (which I can understand if you don?t have small children), may I suggest you don?t bother reading the thread (clue is in the title) or even make comments.

Yesterday there was a Organix tent set up that took up 3 (!) of the parent and child parking space. Not sure what they (Organix and Sainsbury) where thinking as it will have pissed many parents off that had to navigate with small children through that car park.

I could not agree more. Especially during the summer months where the sun has been up for hours before they open. The closing time is dependent on the time of the year, so why can?t the opening time be the same. My child minder is at the other side of the park, and it would be lovely to be able to cycle through the lovely park in the morning. It makes it even more frustrating as there very often are staff inside before. Once I managed to get into the park but once I went to the other side it was locked. Managed to get hold of someone and asked if he could open the gate. He refused until his watched said it was 8.
