A planning application has been issued to install an additional 6 telecommunication masts and 2 satellite dishes to the roof of 136/ 134 Peckham Rye.


Planning Ref: 19/AP/1149


No notice has been given directly to the occupants & owners of the flats within the buildings or that of the language school and surrounding neighbours in the area.


136/ 134 Peckham Rye will become extremely top heavy with telecommunication equipment - the property is only 4 stories high and the equipment is deeply intrusive.


The development goes against all the clauses stated in the Southwark Plan.


Contractors enter the building without any consent from the owners of the flats.


Access concerns have been raised for maintenance; as previous concerns about blocking fire escapes from flats within the building have not been addressed.


The existing development already looms over the Gardens Conservation area.


I'd appreciate any support in objecting to these latest plans; which you can do so via the planning portal: [www.planning.southwark.gov.uk]


Proposed elevation plans attached.

I imagine this may be about 5G introduction - in which case probably a good thing. More masts than already exist on this roof won't be a major eye-sore - it's not as if it's really blocking a view from anywhere. Indeed, and in general, improved signal is generally a good thing, 4G or 5G. But the benefits from 5G, including integrated and real-time control of emergency services etc. is to be desired.

Great news, fully support the installation of new masts - I always notice a drop in signal around Peckham Rye, particularly when I'm on the train on the way to/from work. These masts along with phone poles and wires, electricity pylons etc. fade into the background in no time.


Obviously shouldn't be blocking a fire escape though.

The proposals could clearly be more discrete and achieve the same ends. Less iron work would also save the operator some money.


You can object for reasons of aesthetics and our of proportion to the property. I would always counsel where possible to make a suggestion of practical compromise.

"In theory, 5G will be able to simultaneously support more than a million devices per sq km (0.4 sq miles), a big jump over the 60,000-odd devices that 4G technology maxes out at.


But to make this possible, antennas will be needed all over the place - from lamp-posts to bus shelters, in addition to more of the rooftop masts we're already used to."

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
