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.

    • A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
