(not sure if I've missed another thread, but)


I see they're installing yellow gates across the car park at the Grove, in place of the concrete blocks.


Does anyone know if this is just an attempt to "maintain the site properly", or are they actually going to do some work on the place?

So from what I have heard it?s the Maroush, which has a restaurant on the Edgware Road and a few others dotted around North London. They?re Lebanese and specialise in meze type dishes.

However, no information on planning portal and absolutely no press releases from the Dulwich Estate, so perhaps we should wait for further information? We all know how rumours end up on this forum. Queue exhibit A, Waitrose Etc


Louisa.

As those who attended the Dulwich Society meeting last year will know, there are less than 8 years left on the lease, and any prospective purchaser would need to secure a lease extension to make his/her investment worthwhile. Based on its previous comments the Dulwich Estate is not likely to agree to this so a Turkish, Lebanese, or any restaurant, is unlikely. The yellow gates are probably for additional security but there have been strong rumours that the car park will be used as a coach park when the new foundation school routes come into operation later in the year.
Not sure where SanaNE1 got his information, but I have also been told that the gates were installed at the Grove car park so it could be fitted out as a coach park for the foundation coaches later this year. Dulwich is miles from Maroush's normal stomping ground and with the current uncertainties in the restaurant industry, it would be a bold move to open a brand new venture in an untried area.

There's already a church right opposite - we've got enough trouble finding accommodation for real people, without building houses for our imaginary friends!

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
