Well to answer your question - at least 12 households on Zenoria Street that I currently know of. I personally have lived in Zenoria Street for 20 years and have seen a lot of changes in East Dulwich in that time. The warehouse we are discussing was part of the Edwardes Brothers property that sold wholesale electrical goods from the Caffe Nero property and used the warehouse and No. 3 Zenoria Street for storage. The property was sold and No. 3 was converted back into residential. Since then there have been 3 planning applications that the residents have lodged complaints against - one was for a restaurant that had a major air exhaust expelling fumes right over our street! Our concern remains that this is a tiny residential street and surely there is enough retail on Lordship Lane/North Cross Road to fulfil all our needs - there are plenty of empty properties still in Lordship Lane. We can barely park in our street anymore due to the popularity of Lordship Lane, and we already have plenty of lorry deliveries in the street because of the flower shop etc. Can you imagine having 25 different stalls, juice bar and cafe delivering at all hours of the day in our small street? The street has been recently changed into a one way, so we're often trapped behind vans unloading as it is. I don't think we're being spoilsports to want to preserve the character of the 3 small streets that make up our little bit of East Dulwich: Zenoria Street/Tintagel Gardens/Oxonian Street. I, and a good number of neighbours, believe this development will be a disaster for us and seriously affect our quality of life.
