micromacromonkey - if enforcement doesn?t start and continue parking will start to go back to what it was once people learn they can park for free ? and they will trinidad my understanding is the resident will need to buy a visitor permit for the visitor or the visitor can call and pay by phone. Details on visitor permits https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking/parking-permits/on-street-permits/visitor-s-parking-permits Details on paying for parking by phone https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking/find-somewhere-to-park/pay-for-parking?chapter=2&article

The current panic buying is something that to give them the benefit of the doubt could have come as a surprise. As a regular customer of many years it does seem to be worse recently. We have been in more than once and not been able buy a 2 pint organic milk or Sainsburys own brand coffee beans. This hasn?t just happened once or twice when you could think the person in charge of ordering (though isn?t it all done by a computer now?) was off. Milk and coffee are pretty much staples and I?d imagine demand is fairly consistent year round. Different for seasonal items. If just one person reads this and takes less of an item they were going to stock up on it?ll be worth it. Re the current panic buying once it starts it affects us all, for a few days at least until the shops restock. One plea if you are stocking up spare a thought for those with existing medical conditions who might need the items you are stocking up to go about their daily life. An example someone with a disease that affects their immune system might use hand sanitiser on a day to day basis. If they can?t buy more because there is none on the shelves in the shops and its sitting in someone?s bathroom cabinet unused what do they do?

There?s another thread on the CPZ but I thought this might get missed and if you are parking on Grove Vale now you might want to be aware. I?d seen the signs go up covered in bags but could see no uncovered signs. Today I saw a traffic warden recording cars outside Alpine Dry Cleaners. I asked how long you could park for and he said 30 minutes. I think the new signs will say 30 minutes free and up to two hours parking if you pay but for now 30 minutes free parking as it has been applies and no change to the risk of getting a penalty.

Saw details of this consultation in a business in the are that I use each month. As I?m outside the area this had passed me by. Read the last few pages in case there is anything I can raise in my response to the consultation. Exeastdulwicher I don?t have a solution bit the mini roundabout suggested in your post on page 10 might not work. One went in as you come out of Sainsburys. Driving into / out of the estate you enter after the park / before Dulwich Hamlet those going / coming from Sainsburys don?t expect you. Even indicating I?m going to the estate not Dog Kennel Hill I?ve had to hold back when according to the Highway Code when I learnt to drive I have priority. The EDG junction would be different but I can see those on EDG thinking they had priority. KR988 good point re impact on 37. I?ll raise that in my consultation response and to TfL.

I?m expecting this won?t go down well, but I don?t think a CPZ is all wrong. Not all right either. The CPZ may seem unwelcome but I think the Council is trying to resolve problems they can foresee. There were 4 consultations we responded to before zone Q was introduced and parking in the area had noticeably increased between the last two consultations. Although referred to as a CPZ, CPZ Q has both bays and yellow lines (Pytchley Road) and permitted parking areas (PPAs) (St Francis Road). So Southwark do put in both. I don?t know how it?s decided when a CPZ with lines and bays goes in and when a PPA goes in but from what I?ve seen PPA?s are in areas where there isn?t parking on both sides / no through roads and CPZs on roads with parking on both sides. I first experienced a PPA, though not sure we knew it as such, in the 1970?s when permits were introduced to the road my grandfather lived in near Anfield football ground where Liverpool play. I?ve lived in London for over 30 years now and CPZs outnumber permitted parking areas. It would be great if we could park anywhere but there are too many cars and enough people who will park where they want regardless of the impact on others. Yesterday walking to Sainsburys I saw a car parked on the pavement on double yellow lines alongside the park on Abbotswood Road - there is only a pavement on one side of the road, someone walking with a stick might just have got through, a small buggy would probably have got through but the greenery from the park would have pushed into the buggy, someone using the wheels to propel their wheelchair would have scratched their hands at the least or needed to leave the pavement at the top of the road and go along the road to the next dropped kerb. Later we drove to West London and saw 3 cars double parked and another pulled up to double park in front of us meaning we had to drive on the wrong side of the road to pass. A CPZ won?t solve all problems or work for all but unless supply and demand for parking changes and the supply is greater than the demand it needs to be managed. PPAs work in some places, CPZs in others. Southwark have reduced yellow lines and increased parking bays following consultation on all the CPZs around East Dulwich and reviews are carried out once a zone has been operating a while so if changes are made requests can be made during the review. You can also always write to the Council / Councillor any time. I?ve also just seen that rail fares are to increase in January which I?d forgotten so that might make people drive to East Dulwich to pay for zones 1 & 2 rather than 1, 2 & 3. A CPZ will restrict parking to those who have permits otherwise anyone can park. In the overall costs of running a car the permit cost is minimal - tax / tank of petrol / insurance?

Jules-and-Boo Great idea. I'll probably e walking past later this afternoon and will do. Such a simple suggestion but the local area / wildlife will benefit. It sometimes seems we can make no impact but this shows how even a small act can have an impact.

Having read the reasons for the decision this makes sense. The proposal was for one two hour zone but there was a suggestion that the zone was split in two and the East Dulwich one operated all day due issues that will arise from parking related to the school / health centre. The full day zone was also suggested, according to the reasons for decision, as the option to go with the shorter time was possible without going back to committee. I can see the health centre will cause parking need all day so a two hour zone isn?t going to have the same impact it did in zone Q where commuter parking was the main issue, but will work for the West Peckham Zone which has the same issues. Its not a fix all but it will address the problem raised. You can see the committee papers here http://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/ieDecisionDetails.aspx?Id=6916 If you want to respond then you can do that online or by email. The reference is ?TMO1920-025 E Dulwich parking zone?. Responses are to be submitted by 17 October 2019. The TMO is at https://www.southwark.gov.uk/assets/attach/10536/E-Dulwich-area-parking-zone-ED-notice-dated-19-Sept-2019-.pdf The response form can be found at https://forms.southwark.gov.uk/ShowForm.asp?fm_fid=1081 or emails can be sent to [email protected]

Following the posts on here about the planning application moving and only showing comments until 13 August I rechecked and comments from 4 - 24 August are on the old portal and comments from 25 August on the new so it would appear all the comments have been lodged. I have however sent an email to [email protected] and copied in the Councillors for the area (Peter John, Leader of the Council [email protected] and Sarah King [email protected]) about a discrepancy regarding the number of comments in the two portals and asking for confirmation all comments will be taken into account. In case it is of interest this is what I found on the portals when I went in The two portals show differing numbers of comments on the application and although I understand this will change the numbers don?t make sense. I looked at the old planning portal this morning and it showed 400 Comments (Objections 120, Supporting 277) I then looked at the new planning portal which showed 290 Comments (Objections: 36 Supporting: 251) The portal was only showing 5 comments, the earliest from 23 August. Two questions I asked of the Council were: 1. Can the Council confirm that the deadline for comments will be extended given the issues with the planning portal? 2. Can the Council confirm that all comments submitted on either the old or new planning portal and by email to [email protected] will be reviewed before the decision is taken on the application?

Inthettexas moment thanks. I?ll resend my comments to the email address - I submitted mine on 14 August as the letter we had said the deadline was 15 August

Thank you for the link to the page about the flood alleviation works. That is the information I was hoping for.

It looks like the issue was they were introducing a new planning portal. The application is available online again on the ?OLD? planning portal at https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications-old/applicationDetails.do?keyVal=_STHWR_DCAPR_9583549&activeTab=summary Tomorrow was the deadline given in the letter we received, though the expiry date online is 27 August and as the post above says email comments will be accepted until the start of September.

Thank you jay66 I?ve had a quick look at the information the Friends of Dog Kennel Hill Wood have put together and I?m sure I?ll use some of it in my response. http://www.friendsofdkhwood.org/greendale/respond-to-planning-application-19-ap-1867/. The documents on the official planning site are daunting - over 200, the Friends versions are more user friendly. If you want to respond to the planning application 19/AP/1867 details should be on on the Council?s website https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=_STHWR_DCAPR_9583549 but the planning register is currently down for ?service improvement works?. Deadline for responses is 15 August. The Friends of Dog Kennel Hill website looks worth a look for documents related to Green Dale / wildlife in the meantime. I?m still working through the documents on the website but in case this saves anyone time, given the deadline is Thursday and the website is down so accessing the documents is a challenge if they are not on the Friends of Dog Kennel Hill Wood website, here?s what I?ve found of relevance to various areas and worth reading if it what?s covered is of interest to you - Design and Access Statement Part 1 gives an overview (Part 2 is just plans of the flats) - Statement of Community Involvement shows they?ve engaged with at least some areas of the community and the development will provide improved sports facilities and an Outdoor Gym - Car Park Design and Strategy Part 1 gives details (Parts 2 & 3 are plans of predicted vehicle flows - swept vehicle paths - if it particularly interests you) - Stadium Management Plan includes how they see spectator management and parking impact on match days - Special Needs Case is actually Sporting Needs Case and provides detail on the facilities that will be available to the community / public. Improvements will be made to the indoor leisure facilities 3.8 admits the MUGA is smaller than the current Astroturf but says it will be safer and therefore expected o be used more - Landscape Design Statement parts 1 & 2 have information on how it will look / impact of development on MOL / planned mitigation - bird & bat boxes etc - Transport Statement 1 will be of interest to those accessing the housing estate via Abbotswood Road or who will use the linear park to get to GreenDale / Bessemer Grange School - Transport Statement 6 relates to public transport and PTAL - Transport Statement 11 relates to Healthy Streets and walking / cycling I?ve only looked at things of interest to me and your interests may be different.

Flood alleviation and environmental improvement works in Peckham Rye Common I have seen a notice regarding proposed flood alleviation and environmental improvement works in Peckham Rye Common stating representations are to be made to the Planning Inspectorate by 16 September. I have been unable to find reference to this on the Southwark website and am unlikely to be able to attend one of the libraries the notice states further documents can be inspected during office hours. Can these be made available on the Council website? There is a page about flood risk for the common but it has not been updated since 2017.

Just had a stroll round Peckham Rye Park and saw 5 painted lady butterflies. I'd been getting jealous of friends facebook posts from elsewhere in the country who'd already seen some of the migration

There is a notice on the fence next to the gate as you go into Green Dale Fields. Planning application 19/AP/1867. Details, and responses via the website [planning.southwark.gov.uk] This confirms the deadline for responses is 15 August.

We had a letter through to say the planning application (19/AP/1867) has been made. Details, and responses via the website https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=_STHWR_DCAPR_9583549 The letter says the deadline for responses is 15 August which is earlier than the Standard Consultation Expiry Date on the website (not sure what the difference is)

The parking restrictions have gone in for one area (Zone Q). Parking in the other areas always looks heavy. If you can take one of the buses that stops outside East Dulwich station that may be less stressful for you and considerate for those living near the station. All roads around the station will probably be restricted by the end of the year

The approach suggested by sweet girl may sound good but not only might they tow your car and take it to a pound in N8 looking at the Council website there will be extra fees to pay of ?200 plus ?40 a day and I think you have to pay to get the car back and then challenge for a refund. frustrating as it is to have to query every ticket have a reply ready so all you need to do is copy and paste and change the date the ticket was given for each ticket. Send a separate letter, quoting your vehicle registration and permit number asking them to cancel, and confirm, any tickets issued to your vehicle and the expiry date of the virtual permit.

A reminder you have until 22nd JULY 2019 to provide your feedback, positive or negative. You can read more about these plans online or via a display in the Museum - [horniman.ac.uk] This is informal consultation and there will be formal planning consultation but its worth making your views known. The visitor numbers are more than they anticipated so there will be changes and in the main they look ok from my point of view but we all use the museum and gardens. differently. Good point from Angelina about children being managed visiting at certain times or maybe certain areas could be kept child free. The gardens are big enough and people could then chose where / when to visit.

BrandNewGuy thanks for the link. Looks like they are more serious this time - three times as many documents but it took 4 consultations before the CPZ went in. The documents will take some time to digest but the recent exhibition was better than the original application (apparently back in 2010), if not ideal. In anticipation of this I?d been looking at some Council policies, the New Southwark plan has been submitted and is pretty good as these things go around protection for wildlife. There are a lot of documents on the application so in case it saves anyone some reading here is what I found that I thought may be relevant when the planning app came out. The Southwark Open Space Strategy https://www.southwark.gov.uk/assets/attach/1897/3.1.1-southwark_open_space_strategy_jan_2013_low_res_.pdf Dulwich Hamlet is designated Other Open Space OS130 Dog Kennel Hill , OS119 is a Site of Importance for Nature (SINC) and Metropolitan Open Land (MOL) Greendale Playing Fields, OS128 is also a SINC and Metropolitan Open Land Greendale AstroTurf, OS129 is MOL Table 8 in Annex 5 relates to Cleaner, Greener, Safer (I think its in Annex 5 anyway, I made the note some time ago and its not as clear now) 56 Open Space - MOL P58 Green Infrastructure P59 Biodiversity P60 Trees I also see one of the documents is a Travel Plan and the impact on local transport was something I?d noted to look at. I?d noted sections in the New Southwark Plan and Draft London Plan that might be useful New Southwark Plan - amended policy P9 Optimising Delivery of New Homes - account of additional infrastructure needs - public transport, schools, NHS? Draft New LONDON Plan, D6 when determining density of development connectivity - walking an public transport and capacity of infrastructure to be considered This may be a bit early but may help when the time comes to comment. I?m also going to contact the Parks department and express support for Green Dale Fields now the access is better and in my comments on the application refer to using this more and how its developing. Will the development impact this? The Council saw the value and spent money to redevelop Green Dale Fields. How is the development compatible with their plans could be questions to ask

Has the planning application come out? Can you post the link? If the planning application is not out they are trying again but nothing can happen until the planning application goes through and the previous ones haven?t. The exhibition they held made it look better than last time but lacked detail

@ dbboy Thanks for posting. I?ll check out the details. As Worldwiser says they need to adapt to current times and it must be harder and harder to attract and keep people , especially children and although I avoid places when they?ll be busy with children if I can they do need to learn so there is a balance to be achieved, but at least there is the opportunity to review the plans and comment.

Working outside of London and having lived in East Dulwich for over 20 years during which time I?ve worked in and outside London I can see pluses and minuses to the local transport provision. How busy the buses are shows how much they are used. If I?m at the office beyond 7.30 there is one bus an hour to take me to the railway station. Walking is not an option as there is one part of the route with no pavement and the road goest to the M3 so even walking on the grass verge isn?t particularly pleasant and walking in the road would be a death wish. I can see why there is only one bus an hour, apart from the peak morning commute (0845) when the previous bus had been cancelled I haven?t seen people standing on the bus and there were seats for those who chose to stand if they wanted them. The buses are a service there, here they are a service but used. My commute is better since the Overground came to Denmark Hill, prior to that I had to take the 37 to get to Clapham Junction. If you want to travel from East Dulwich station to Denmark Hill or Forest Hill the bus service is fine. If you want to travel into central London the direct bus journeys are bad enough without the need to change. It took me 45 minutes to get from Waterloo to East Dulwich on Monday evening. Just as I didn?t this time I?ll fill in any future consultation affecting the local area. The outcome might not be in line with my responses but they?ll be logged and who knows I might be the one person who tips the decision one way or the other, no reply no chance of that. We are lucky to have the option to vote / respond to consultations and we should make the most of that even if the outcome is not always what we would choose. Naive maybe but the only other option is to not reply and have no say so I don?t see a choice.

Abe_froeman if I?ve understood correctly the CPZ data publicly available is in the report, Cllr McNash has other data but has not shared it. Its unclear what the final data will be, from experience dealing with Councils I?d say that will depend on the person putting it together. In his post on 1 May (page 13) Cllr McNash said ??I can see why the post from ed_moots (23 April, page 12) made you think that I have shared the dataset with others but I can assure you that all I shared there were the handful of percentages included in their post above. As far as I know, the only people with access to the full dataset are the councillors and council officers.? Looks like there is at least another month before any more will be known. The decision, to go to formal consultation, has been published in the forward plan for July. http://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/mgIssueHistoryHome.aspx?IId=50020432&Opt=0 Until the associated papers are published there?ll be no more information available.

I had a quick look at the Council website this morning. There may be more useful information the links as well as what Abe Freeman posted. Southwark carried out a consultation about dog Anti Social Behaviour (ASB) and it looks like they are stepping up enforcement - signs have gone up in a couple of parks / green spaces near us limiting walking of a maximum of 6 dogs with 3 off the lead at any one time. We all know there are good and bad dog owners and the rules have to apply to all. A number of the links on the website page about Responsible Dog Ownership don?t work but might be worth a look https://www.southwark.gov.uk/environment/animal-welfare/responsible-dog-ownership - some common sense / good owner behaviour but unfortunately not all owners are good. The bylaws relating to dogs have been around a while - looks like they were last confirmed in 1975! https://www.southwark.gov.uk/assets/attach/2229/composite_dog_ban_byelaws.pdf As has been said Dawsons Hill is a nature reserve and the rules are what they are. Wildlife doesn?t know one bit of green is a nature reserve and another isn?t so at this time of year it would be good if dog walkers could be aware that disturbance, even unintentional can be an issue for wildlife - not something we thought about when we had dogs while I was growing up to be honest but we live and learn. If you are taking your dog out please keep them on a lead - they may be well behaved and not mean it but could unintentionally scare nesting birds (now until July) and cause them to abandon their nest / chicks. If you are walking in the country the dog may encounter animals its not used to and react out of character. Its just not worth the risk of it getting hurt or worst case shot - not an issue here but traffic is the equivalent here I guess.
