Dear all,


Many of us have been impacted by the change of address of the Post Office in Silvester Rd. I have just yesterday received a planning permission application (18/AP/3271) to comment on which will replace the site with a new 3 floor building and asking for comments until 10/11 (yes, about 10 days from now).


The permission doesn't even show documentation relevant to the works (so no one can see what is actually planned). For my family this will be a disgrace. We recently moved to a property on the side of the post office and part of the reason we bought the property was because of its privacy and the sun which now seemed to be compromised.


Despite that, I also think the overall community has been impacted not only by the move of the post office but also the sudden creation of a bunch of new flats in a very small and comprised area. (you can actually find comments in this forum about the struggle it is to go to Peckham and queue for one hour every time a parcel is not delivered).


So I would like to ask your help on 2 things:


1) any advice on the process to object to the planning permission. Anything will be helpful - from people who went through the process to how the council usually takes the objection process, etc.


2) if you feel you are personally impacted by this change to object as well. I will update this thread as I find more details with how you can actually do this.


Many thanks,


R.

Surely these are separate issues?


The work being carried out in the delivery office was moved from Silvester Road because the office wasn't fit for purpose. This was due to the increase in the number of parcels and packets having to be dealt with there.


An East Dulwich delivery office which is actually fit for purpose doesn't have to be on the same site as the old one! It just needs to be in a convenient place in East Dulwich, and not in a Peckham office which apparently can't handle the workload either!

The plans submitted propose to keep the Victorian facade on Silvester Road with a 3 storey apartment building behind and 3 houses to the rear facing Pellatt Road. The proposals don?t seem too bad, could be a lot worse. Whilst it is essential that East Dulwich has a collection point for undelivered mail in the area, trying to incorporate it into the new development by objecting is a non starter and, in the unlikely event that planning consent is given on this condition, will be overturned on appeal.

    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
