Just returned from a weekend away to discover this appalling din. Can I urge all those affected to email DHFC to complain? If Southwark won't act and further such events are planned, there are other legal avenues that a little crowd funding could get underway.
Hi we finally got through to the Council, again. The guy said they have visited the site again but as the crowds are too big they will not go in to get it stopped we asked who we could speak to help in this matter but he did not know, we asked if perhaps police could help them he was unsure of the procedure. He suggested we write to the Council. He did confirm he had lots of complaints. Arhhhh

Just spoke to the council noise team for the 6th time today. Despite earlier assurances that visits were to be made and noise tests undertaken, now we are told there is nothing they can do. They apparently cautioned them this afternoon but supposedly have not receive any calls since 4 o clock. We know this is not true. Last week the police said that the noise team were our only option, and now the noise team are saying if a conversation cannot happen in a person's living room, only then they can take action. This is a subjective test, not a machine.Otherwise they can only ask that they turn the volume down.


The club needs to take responsibility for allowing the events. They were apparently sent a warning letter by the council last week, clearly to no effect.

Looking at their social media their main events happen in indigO2 or other similar locations so this is a bit crazy. I live just the other side of st Olaves field, I dread to think what the noise is like in the cul de sac, even Sainsbury's car park. I'm fine with noise, I'm fine with parties, we have Dulwich hamlet noise every weekend, I expect noise in London but this is epic proportions. It's almost like living in Glastonbury! My house is still shaking. Cannot believe at all that this can be allowed in a residential area. The swearing and cussing is loud aswell as it's being blared over the PA. it's kids bedtime in 5 minutes and this doesn't sound it's going to stop st 8, if it does we will probably have a lot of shouting and screaming coming along greendale towards our house too. Fun times!

Right I just got through and was told the following.


The noise officers have been twice, and on the second visit have had to withdraw due to safety concerns which is very concerning living so close.


He said there was nothing further to be done tonight. He recommended to email complaints@southwark.gov.uk which I will do alongside the other avenues.

Not really affecting me - glad I live out of earshot - but just walked home through Greendale and could not believe the racket, can't understand why that sort of sound system is allowed at this time on a Sunday evening. Those living nearby have my sincere sympathy.

    • These statements were in the Consultation Findings report published (later than promised) just before the licence was granted:  "The site hire fee goes directly to supporting the delivery of the council’s Events service, which supports the delivery of up to 100 free-to-attend community events per year – please refer to section 1 (Licensing and income)" I've drafted an email to request some more details of these "free-to-attend" events, as "up to" is a fairly meaningless description - could be 100, could be none? - and therefore doesn't help anyone to decide whether it is actually a benefit to the community or not. Even if it is 100, I'm not sure I could name even one of them? "The site hire fee goes directly to supporting the provision of a grants fund – the Cultural Celebrations programme - please refer to section 1 (Licensing and income)" A similarly meaningless statement in terms of gauging whether, or how much, this is a benefit to the local community. What is it, what does it do, how much of the fee goes to it? And how can the fee go "directly" to two different things? Surely, "directly" means without deviation, straight to, without being changed or reduced?? Again, I'll be asking all these questions to the events dept. I find it outrageous & insulting that a public body can try to justify such an intrusive & disruptive event with such flimsy and opaque "benefits", with zero figures or details to quantify them. They may as well not bother with a consultation, just say "Look, we can't be arsed to justify our decision, it's happening so just deal with it".
