chrism Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Hi JeremyAgree with you that they're not great, nor the worst, just bland. My problem is also with density: a block with six flats is being replaced by one with 19. The proposed block is four storeys high at the front, whereas the original one is three. If you're interested in signing a petition asking Southwark for further consultation (most people in Bromar seem not to have been aware of the proposals), will you pm me your address.ThanksChris Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/13538-1-11-pytchley-road-development/page/3/#findComment-402731 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 They haven't given up, the plan was always to sell the site!The council may have drawn up the plans, but it was never their intention to do the development themselves. After all, these aren't council flats. Personally I am glad that at least something is moving.Badminton House (the block above/behind the lovely "Payless Food & Wine") is also for sale, presumably for refurb followed by private sales.

plimsoul Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 thanks jeremy, that makes me feel a lot better. i'm just fed up with being surrounded by empty houses and the never ending building of the 'luxury' houses. i wonder who will buy in these turbulent times?the pigeons are loving the abandoned site and wish the council would clean up the corner at least once a month. But most of all it's the near car crashes that I see everyday that really concern me... but that's a whole other story/thread.

brain_opera Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 What's going on with Badminton House, too? I live in Cowdray House, on Quorn Road (the bit facing the train line, just off the road). There's a sign saying for sale. I always wondered about Badminton, the other flats are lovely but that block seemed left to rot. People had been living there til very recently, too.

James Barber Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Hi brain_opera,That block would cost from memory ?2.6M to sort out so the councils plan approved from memory about 6 weeks ago is to sell the block. Shame as it has 8 family sized council flats as well as other 1 & w bedrooms flats.

Jeremy Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 Thanks James - I was hoping that the dissapearance of the "For Sale" sign meant that this was the case. It is nice to see some progress. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/13538-1-11-pytchley-road-development/page/3/#findComment-505930 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Planning permission has been submitted for 6 x three storey, four bedroom houses. They look OK - pitched roofs and bay windows to (sort of) blend in with existing buildings. All rather uninspired, but could be worse, and a much better option than a big block of flats.

mamafeelgood Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I saw this too, look fine. My only concern is that if the corner on bromar/pytchley becomes a blind spot agin transport for London (or whoever is responsible) will have to look at how to improve vision lines. I keep meaning to email the application people but otherwise I agree, all looks fine and they're clearly looking to benefit from bromar prices!

Jeremy Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Looks like there are still a couple of issues to be resolved with Southwark before the work can begin - approval for cycle and refuse storage, and asbestos removal.

ellabrunswick Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Hi James, Thanks for letting people on the forum know about this planning committee meeting. However, just to clarify, this application does not include the 1-11 Pytchley Road site (the derelict yellow brick block on corner of Bromar Road discussed on this thread). The two sites being discussed next week are: 1) the parking area on Pytchley Road near the traffic lights at the junction with Dog Kennel Hill. This was the site of Gatebeck House, which was knocked down 14 years ago to reduce the density of the estate. 2)the caged football 'kickabout' area and parking area on Pytchley Road opposite the junction with Quorn Road. This was the site of Southdown House, which was knocked down by the GLC in the 1970s because of problems of severe and persistent damp. The problems with water can still be seen today - in the permanent lake on the parking area, and the water trickling through the boundary walls and over the pavement around the P13 bus stop!

Jeremy Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Looks like work is finally underway on the site (corner of Pytchley Rd and Bromar Rd). Good to know that the existing eyesore will be gone soon. I believe there is asbestos in the building, so I don't fancy getting too close while the building is being demolished!

Vik Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Better keep our windows closed then, seeing as we overlook it!Good to see work finally happening though.
