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.

    • tried the traditional beef empanada yesterday and it was amazing honestly, hotter and better than the other place (no offence!). I really don’t see the issue with having more than one of the same type of shop – we’ve got Indian restaurants, two supermarkets, two cheese shops, two pizza joints, even two paint shops! So I don’t get what all the fuss is about. Good food is good food, and there’s room for everyone.
    • I understand you access ancestry from any Southwark library computer. Or see the real post office directories in archive. 
    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
