Hi ,glad to hear application refused. DOES ANYONE HAVE THE APPLICATION NUMBER ? My search on Southwark Planning online using various computations of Etherow,Barry etc has drawn a blank. Would really like to read reasons given for refusal as they may be relevant to comments I am in process of making on planning application 08-AP-1916. This is an application to build 4 x 3 bedroom houses on land at rear of gardens of 153 - 163 Barry Rd ,with new access road ( over 200 feet long ) running down between 151 and 153 Barry Rd ,plus pedestrian footpath between 163 and 167 ( nos 165 does not exist ). I wasn't around in the summer ,but 2 points briefly on the Etherow / Barry Rd flats thread - the house I live in ,middle of Barry Rd - has a covenant restricting the erection of buildings within 20 feet of Barry Rd. It seems likely that similar covenants exist affecting other properties in Barry Rd. While I agree about subsidence ( and also about effect of bendy buses shaking the houses ) I'm not sure Southwark will take such worries into account .They judge only in relation to their planning regs. Though I suppose subsidence could come under loss of amenity. But the subsidence would presumably happen after planning granted and the cause would have to be proved.

The need for additional school places ,especially boys ,is without doubt. But the site is too small for the number of pupils proposed. Harris's planning statement ( 6.12 )describes how in an effort to ameliorate the lack of space , the school day will involve staggered starting ,finishing and break times. Apart from the complexity of actually operating such a system I do wonder how mentoring ,role models of sixth formers etc will work when pupils will have limited chance to meet.

Quite. One wonders why ,if the building is so spectacular,does it need the aid of a manipulated image . Oh right, it's to back up the verbal spin " pavilion in the park ". And application forms hand delivered to all addresses in the area.Maybe there is a need to drum up support.
