looks like a lengthy procedure with lots of scope for appeal by Meadow .


I guess Southwark would cite building council homes and keeping the club as reasons ,



"Legislation in England and Wales gives many authorised bodies (referred to in this booklet as

?acquiring authorities?) the power to acquire land compulsorily where the landowner or occupier is

not willing to sell by agreement. "


"Compulsory purchase powers are provided to enable acquiring authorities to compulsorily

purchase land to carry out a function which Parliament has decided is in the public interest"

It's rebounded on Blake Morgan - who seem to have south wales origins it seems :(


Although there seems to be some signs of compromise

Edit: thinking again is this compromise - or what Meadow wanted originally and have tried to make seem like a compromise position through recent actions.

This so-called compromise (ie, threaten all manner of nasty stuff and then row back a bit) is already dead in the water ? Southwark Council won't give Green Dale to them and the Supporters Trust has said that 'there can be no future for any development involving Meadow at Champion Hill'.
They are right now putting a solid fence along the back....making a thin pathway on a major walkway from Bessemer Grange School.....means the path will be without street lighting in an area already highlighted for potential crime....These people are mean....winding up the local community...crap public relations....all these primary kids wondering what's going on....'oh just the mean developers from Meadow wanting to build on your park, put up fences and in the process of kicking out your local football team'.....hopefully it will feed into their wider education...

Sorry, why will there be no Street lighting?


I think blocking that road and the entrance to the astroturf is disgusting. It is just inconveniencing residents and surely they need to keep residents on side? I assume Meadow are running into the ground so it is worthless so they can build on it but there is no way residents are going to support that with the way they are trying to hold the community to randsom... serious toys being thrown out of pram childish behaviour!

From how Meadow are regarding what they view as 'their property' I am assuming this is the building line they would have adopted in reality if people would have swallowed the utter bollocks they proposed about a 'linear park'in their planning application to keep Greendale connected to St. Francis.

From DHFC's FB page:


"BREAKING:


The Southwark Council cabinet has voted unanimously to release funds to attempt to acquire Champion Hill to provide social housing for the borough, and safeguard the future of @DulwichHamletFC.


We urge Meadow to enter negotiations swiftly so we can return home.


Note: Social Housing would be provided on the current site of the ?car wash? car park, and the stadium would be protected from any future housing development. "

It could take as long as three years to follow through all the processes to a CPO if Meadow decide to be obstinate. So this could take a while. I really hope it doesn't. I don't follow football, but any business (and I guess even DH is a business) will suffer if decamped for that length of time. There is more at risk that just the actual land and ground from this.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
