I think you'll find builders are about to start work there!

So whilst the focus is on the vans, what do people think will happen when the flats are developed and sold? Is it all off road parking for the flats or will they too be competing for the finite spaces on the road?

Hi all


It does look like there will be 10 parking spaces within the development so hopefully our limited roadside parking spaces will not be further threatened.

The plans for 38 Barry Road are on Southwark Planning website.

I agree re the parking on public highway, the issue here is a planning one, and always has been. When they applied for chamge of use of their own site from business to residential, and started work on site they lost their previous use for van hire.


Barry's Off Licence where they have moved to is, presumably, A1 use only (retail shop). Dulwich Van Hire, as a car hire company, is sui generis. Barry's therfore have no planning permission (as far as I am aware they have not yet applied for a change of use to encompass the new van hire business?) to allow the van hire business to be run from their A1 premises.


The Planning Department should therefore enforce, or at least they shoud go through the correct procedure to apply for a change of use (of which neighbouring residents will be informed and able to object/appeal).


This was raised months ago, why are they only considering this now?

Hi Mellors,

Both types of enforcement have been involved for some time. The circumstances have kept changing and promises made and broken.

But its now clearly with Planning Enforcement and Environmental Enforcement are clear that they have no powers in this situation.

Hi it is Shine from Barrys.


Just to keep you updated, I am pleased to say Dulwich Van Hire have now gained access to parking bays for their vans in the car wash place in Tyrrell Road. Hopefully residents will only notice the odd van parked in the area on weekends as access to the car wash place in limited on weekends. I do monitor the situation on a daily basis, and will continue to do so. Thank you for your support.

    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
