Found in Planning Applications (sorry I'm a little bored...)


Location: 34 EAST DULWICH GROVE, LONDON, SE22 8PP

Proposal: Demolition of existing 3 storey residential property (including accommodation in the roof) and existing double garage and the construction of a 3 storey residential property (including accommodation in the roof) comprising 5no x 2 bedroom units and double garage.


Now I think that 34 EDG is the one on the corner of EDG and Elsie Road, that looks like its got severe subsidence caused by the massive Ash tree in the front garden. It's been surrounded by plywood hoarding for as long as I can remember.


Over to the regular forumites to debate (again) the merits of all property is theft, unsold developments, buy-to-let, incomers, Victorian/Edwardian vs contemporary architecture...

well it does suggest giving people free rein to let houses with a bit of land go to rack and ruin on the basis that it will allow them to get planning permission to knock them down and put up flats with greater quick buck potential (and helping southwark council increase housing stock).


as long as it's only happening occasionally i agree it's probably best to let them get on with it. it is on the main road where there are plenty of other low-rise flats. plus given that the pct did the same at dulwich hospital a few doors down, there is some obvious precedent.

"Is it of particular architectural merit? If not then a like for like replacement would be OK surely? Refrubishing it could easily cost more in money and resources than a new build - and a new build could be more energy efficient."


That depends on your view of architectural merit I suppose. It is a very good and attractive example of a large Victorian detached villa (which is unusual in ED) and it one of a short but complete row of them. My point was that had action been taken 20 years ago, it may be that the building could have been kept in use and saved. However, it seems to have been left to rot.

A new planning application for this site has been submitted which consists of:


Demolition of existing 3 storey residential property (including accommodation in the roof) and existing double garage and the construction of a 3 storey residential property (including accommodation in the roof) comprising 5no x 2 bedroom units and double garage.


details are available here


The decision is likely to be taken by the Dulwich Community Council.

    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
