Whilst housing is an important requirement for London, I do note with sadness that the same emphasis is not given over to business requirements and the rush to develop brownfield sites can lead to a lose of businesses or the lack of space for new businesses to set up or expand into.


Both need equal weighting as reducing local businesses can result in there being no additionallocal jobs for the increased population.


Hopefully this has been figured into the master plan !

and what with something around 300 high rise buildings planned for London- good luck with reducing air pollution Mr Khan.....we breached EU levels by the end of january so another fine is in the pipeline- still once we are out of the EU we don't have to abide by their rules!!

Or we could invest in housing and infrastructure in other regions to prevent the brain drain to London and the consequent strain on our city as a result. Years of under investment and a wide gap in living standards mean that London continues to grow and outperform every single other region of the UK and whilst we propose to overdevelop our neighbourhoods here, row upon row of good housing stock in Liverpool, Manchester and Newcastle remain empty. This country is reaping what it has sewn over decades.

Why did they vote to leave? Perhaps they can take it on the English on Saturday :)

On Camberwell Station Road, about halfway up on the right hand side coming from Camberwell New Road - opposite the open bus park. It's a garage but the building's still intact, as are the two platforms up above.

This is very true.

"The Aylesham Centre Shopping Centre, car park and Bus Garage look set to be redeveloped by Tiger Developments. Plans application expected to be submitted later this year

The multi-storey car park and Peckhamplex area is mentioned for 82 homes ?comprehensive mixed-use redevelopment? included in ?taller buildings?, but with 50 per cent of the site reserved as small business workspace"


So - no buses, no supermarket and no cinema/arts emporium?


How on earth do the planners think the people of peckham go about their daily business??

Why not give a ttal business rates holiday to any business doing something remotely useful, and make up the shortfall by doubling the rates on coffee houses? It seems to me sometimes that the almost the entire economy of London consists of people selling overpriced coffee to each.

On that subject I had the best latte I've had for years in a Portugese deli in Stockwell/Oval borders and it only cost ?1.

    • I would love something like this..I remember the one where Gails is now..It had some bric a brac furniture and 2nd hand clothes, I don't remeber the Oyster bar. The issue with the one on Zenoria St-And I speak as a long time habitué of Portobello, Kensington Market, Alfies,Spitalfields,Covent Garden (back when it had a decent vintage market on Mondays in the 80's and Early 90's) ..Was that a lot of the stuff they sold looked a bit meh..like a bad car boot fair. I also remember when we first moved here a small indoor market on the corner of North X road and Felbrigg rd that had bric a brac and bits of furniture..That one had some good stuff. I think the secret is in having a good mix of stalls selling well curated pieces at decent prices...It would also be good to have a few tables and rails available to rent for one-off sellers (car boot style) by application. When I lived in Notting Hill I used to do Portobello under the flyover a couple of times a year and made really decent money because people tended to go there on sundays for the Casual stallholders rather the same dealers selling the same stuff.
