Hello, I wondered if anyone could give me some advice? Has anyone whose actual Freeholder is Southwark managed to build a rear extension to their flat? I just wondered if anyone had managed it or encountered extra difficulties and what Southwark's attitude towards them generally is. Thanks in advance for any thoughts!

Hi badger,

When a councillor I had a number of cases where a council leaseholder wished to build something and need Southwark as the freeholder to agree. It was a painful drawn out process but on a number of occasions successfully concluded. Loft conversions typically. I've not had casework for rear extension but I see no logical reason why the council would not agree. And if they don't I would counsel going to the Local Ombudsman.

If you get stuck email me and I'll try and help you steer through the system.

Our neighbours on both sides have Southwark as freeholders and one side is having a rear side return extension and the other a roof extension. Southwark were fine with both but are being slow and less helpful about a tree which has caused ground movement affecting our house and one of the neighbours but that's another subject altogether!

      I often walk past 'Kenro Press' and think it looks very sad and negleted. I wonder when it was last a viable business - tried googling it but nothing much came up Great to hear it is being brought back to life, perhaps a pity it will not be a new usefull retail premises. Lots of work needed so good luck with your renovation

      No I don't disagree. I wasn't condoning drivers getting confused and the debate on whether refresher tests should be taken is a long one and is something probably for a Malumbu- thread!   I take it you never entered your details as someone agreeing with their sentiment but lots of Dulwich residents did and as part of that you get their email updates. So no, I have nothing to do with tje group beyond one of those two thousand dots on their website as a "member" is me!   Now, are you going to answer my questions or pretend you never saw them....p.s. we have seen this tactic before - happy to throw questions but not happy to answer some yourself...

      I would suggest that anyone accidentally driving into the square is not paying due care and attention. If you disagree, I would be interested in what you consider a basic level of competence behind the wheel. Are you a member or a ‘subscriber’? Is there a difference. Does anyone know?  Who is alleging there has been pressure put on the emergency services (not you, you’re just neutrally posting ‘updates’ 😂). It is all very transparent and accountable isn’t it 🤣
