In that case, anyone who has opinions should get their comments back to Ms Pettit by then, so that a wide range of opinions can be noted. Most of those already lodged from residents seem to be against the proposal. I've no idea if this makes any difference to the decision though. The worry is that the applicant, with their fancy 40 page documents, can muscle their way to the decision anyway.

Hi James and others What is the latest on this application and any moves to oppose it? You mention residents pushing for allotment land above, but I am not aware of any residents associations in the area or how one might contact them. I am very concerned about the development, particularly the impact on parking, traffic (obstructions) and the noise and pollution on the access road and proposed car park. It threatens to turn a really quiet neighbourhood into yet more urban jungle. I also think their travel assessment document, in which the facility and likely traffic usage is measured as if it is similar to East Dulwich Leisure centre underestimates the real effect of this. But I'm not sure if the council will take any notice, or if there is enough groundswell of opinion in the area (many residents are tenants rather than homeowners I guess, so not so directly affected personally). Interested in any other views on the matter.
