Thanks James, but why would they need portakabins?


There are also two portaloos, which I can understand if coach drivers are there for a long time, but portakabins??

Crikey, Radiant Bhuna, that doesn't sound very comfortable! There are no windows, for a start!

Well I wouldn't fancy sitting around in artificial light all day!


I'm wondering now whether I actually meant Portakabins. Maybe they are just large containers. Who knows what for. Will have a closer look next time I'm up in that direction!

Sorry, just stating 'the bright yellow gates with padlocks on so who knows' and like you I'm wondering what's going on with the old Harvester pub. Spent many a happy time with family and friends there and was sad it suddenly closed.

Yes, that was probably what I meant. Sorry for any confusion!


I assume coach drivers wouldn't need to store equipment, so could the containers be for builders?


Has any planning application (or whatever) actually been approved yet?


There was a public meeting about the future use of this land/building - last year I think? There is a thread about it on here somewhere. If memory serves, there was a possibility of some kind of community arts centre? (Chance would be a fine thing, I guess).

This should be a direct link to all planning applications for the Grove Tavern. I can't see anything recent - Louisa, what are we missing?

From what I can gather, the company that originally ran the Harvester are still paying rent for the premises. That Dulwich Estates want to build flats on the site as they wish to get the income from developer. Dulwich Estates are not interested in low money making schemes!

Brilliant idea foxy. Would certainly ease the congestion on residential streets. Ship the commuters off to ED or FH for Overground.

It's something I have brought up on EDF before..

    • Errr could it be because of the noise pollution coming from it perhaps? You may not be able to hear it where you live but anyone on the Dulwich Village side of Lordship Lane all the way to beyond Brockwell Park is being disturbed by it - the sound wash from it is huge and that's a lot of people. As I said before we know people who live nearer to Brockwell Park to us and they say it is unbearable.   To be fair the Emirates moved to a piece of wasteland between railway tracks so it actually in a less densely populated area now and the council actually goes out of their way to try to mitigate the impact on local residents and yes, other than the concerts, you could hear a pin drop on matchdays! 😉 
    • Chains moving in is a sure sign that LL is heading for a fall. They are parasites, waiting for the independents to be successful and then, in partnership with rapacious landlords, they move in and force out those very businesses who have created the market they then seek to exploit. They replace a lively diversity with a bland and predictable offering. Then, when a downturn arrives, they move out, leaving boarded up premises and charity shops. Independent businesses who have worked hard to make a success of their efforts will try to see out hard times as they’ve invested so much. Chains look only at the bottom line and think nothing of closing branches. Chains are liable also to expand too fast, be managed badly and then collapse. Think of Brick House being forced out by Gail’s, the closure of White Stuff (although that chain was replaced by another) and JoJo Maman Bebe. . Sadly, I fear that will be the future of LL. 
    • It’s the impact the festival has on the community, the people living next door to the park who have to endure the thumping music and worse. Then there’s the park and the state it’s left in and the wildlife, especially nesting birds. All the roads going down Denmark Hill towards the park were closed off and roads off half moon lane and going up towards West Norwood closed off with wardens at each end, who were paid by Lambeth Council to stand there for the 4 days.  The festival made the news channels and interviews suggested most of the people attending weren’t fron the local area but places like Ireland and Scotland.  I live a 20 minute walk from the park and could hear the thumping music all day and night. Also the wind certainly carried the smell of drugs to my garden! For 4 days I couldn’t believe how strong it was. 
    • Emirates Stadium is  >60,00 but they tend to be very quiet 🙂 Jokes aside though, it's a case in point. Highbury was <40,000 and was 300M up the road, so there are definitely Islington residents who used to live half a mile from a fairly big football stadium, and now live right by a massive one. One that holds rock/pop concerts too accomodating 70,000 fans whether they like ot or not.   40% of Islington households are in social housing so regardless of when they moved their current homes, they may have had little say in exactly where they are housed.
