Threat to the Peckham Coal Line project

[BrandNewGuy]

Developers want to block off part of the proposed Coal Line path with an inappropriate development ? where the Peckham Spike project used to be. The New Southwark Plan proposes safeguarding a route through the area for the Coal Line, which this development would make impossible. If you wish to object, you only have until Saturday 15th July to do so. More here:

Objected - thanks for flagging up.

What was your objection?

Was it the destruction of an interesting Victorian architectural survival?

[rendelharris]

That, plus blocking the coal line project, plus wrong type of housing (luxury as opposed to social/affordble) for the area's needs, plus the cynicism of applying for a nine residence development (when there clearly could have been 10+, they're including office space) to keep under the threshold for inclusion of social housing.
