Does anyone know who the landlord(s) up and down Lordship Lane are? They're plainly going for as much rent as they can get (which is of course their prerogative, not looking for an argument about the usual things), I'd just be interested to know if it's individuals, or one big landowner etc, and hoping someone else already has the answer?

?65,004 - shop and basement only.

I didn't make any suggestions, these places had already been mentioned above.

I find it frustrating that shopping and eating out in the UK is so dominated by chains. I guess it must be to do with high High Street rents but going in to central London and finding two Pret a Manger and two Starbucks (just for example) within a couple of minute's walk of each other makes me feel a bit meh. It feels so different in France/Spain/Greece/Germany/Italy and I don't understand why it has to be different here.

I think you already mentioned the reason-high street rents.

thats why places like shorditch Dalston and Peckham start out with great independent buisnesses and once those areas become 'hip' or popular landlords get greedy and sadly the chains then are the only ones who can afford to be there.

its a bee in my bonnet not just with eateries but with stores selling other goods too.

I wish London was more like paris for example with beautiful small individual independent shops to 'discover'

Yes, I think I'm saying why do our town centre commercial rents have to be so high that independents cannot survive in them? It seems to work ok in other European countries. Can't comment on the US or other places as haven't visited enough. The UK is notorious for it's dull High Streets. I've lived in Brixton, Dalston and ED pre-gentrification. Wondering where to go next!

    • The sites in question though are not comparable to the builders yard by the station and less likely to be granted planning permission for 9 storey buildings. The builders yard fronts on to the railway line on one side and virtually no residential property surrounding on the other sides. The Gibbs & Dandy /Kwikfit and ED trading trading estate are surrounded at close proximity by residential, and in the case of the latter a Grade II building, so there would more stringent height restrictions. Both these sites are tired and in need of development to provide much needed housing.
    • Not sure if this is any help but was initally told to use google chrome as the browser and the code was the reference. However the person at Southwark parking took pity on me and did it for me 
    • I can see how it could've worked 20 or 30 years ago, when you couldn't swing a pool cue in the Foresters without hitting a sparks, a plumber or a chippy, but the area has changed somewhat. I'm not sure people around here have such trade-able skills these days. Have a word with someone in your local and you'll see. People are always going to need their boiler fixed, a damp patch sorted or their dimmer switch dimmed, but I can pretty much guarantee I'm never going need my corporate policy complied with, my social media planned, my data mined, my green transport tsared, my information architected or my analytics analysed. It reminds me of the great DIY con of the mid to late seventies. My Mum bought into it, my Dad didn't. Anyway, my Mum won out and we let the gardener go (he went on to be TV's Timmy Mallett, so that's a warning from history), but my Dad shorted the house out and singed his head when he cut through the flex on his new Black & Decker hedge trimmer. We all laughed, of course, but he got his own back when, because we didn't use a qualified electrician to do things properly, she electrocuted herself when she pulled the back of the plug off her Carmen heated rollers while it was still in the socket. Keep things professional, say 'No!' to this sort of nonsense. We pay people a decent rate of pay because they're specialists at these things. I did once barter my sister's space hopper and roller skates for twenty-odd square foot of crazy paving, though. That was a birthday present my Mum never forgot, and not in a good way.  
    • Thanks both of you. I have also been having the same problem. I emailed the named person on the letter, with no response. I also tried phoning and was transferred to another number which cut me off. I hope they extend the deadline for applying as there are likely to be many people without a permit by the deadline for applying.
