Revised new - M&S planning application to replace Iceland..

[first mate]

Sorry to get in late on the discussion. Just to be clear, my only 'interest' is that I live in the area. Along with other locals, I have followed the progress of this application quite closely and I am mildly puzzled that no decision is yet forthcoming, despite statements that a decision has been reached. So, if my persistent strikes you as odd chillaxed, be assured, I have no hidden agenda.

[Chillaxed]

Get out of what exactly?

Just to be clear, I'm just curious (as I said). Sorry, but I don't give enough of a ?$%^ to engage in this any further.

Cheers.

Er...Irony?

[Chillaxed]

OK, I lied, I will engage.

I'm not being ironic. I simply stated that my curiousity in first mate's interest was not enough to motivate me to engage in a debate with you about my motives. I don't really get off on debate like some on the EDF.

But it seems I do give enough of one to point this out.

Decision published:

The officer report backing this up will be scanned today and added onto the website.

[davidh]

so, it is refused again, presumably because it is the same mishmash of nonsense as before. if m&s are so keen, why don't they lead the freeholder by the hand (or nose) and guide him through the intricacies of writing a proper application? james barber says he does not know the identity of the applicant, but I am sure m&s do. james also says waitrose are wiulling to move into the site as is. better solution all round then!

[healey]

It strikes me that if the likes of M&S are serious about this site they would do well to make a tempting offer to the hand car wash. It gets in the way of redevelopment and causes its own traffic problems, I would have thought.

7 years ago it was still the same debate

Typical bloody Daily Mail, obsessed with house prices to the exclusion of almost everything else, with the possible exception of "Voting Labour Gives You Cancer" type scare stories. Next week - "House Prices Fall The Nearer You Are To Aldi"?

[Otta]

If only that were true, I'd happily move next door to an Aldi Cheap house AND cheap food.

Will this thread ever just pee off?

It's always being rehashed with some corny half baked story.

They're not interested in bloody ED, its never gonna open here, get over it!

Aren't you the same Louisa who posted a number of comments in this thread recently?

[KalamityKel]

Loath as I am to resurrect this thread... the applicants are appealing the decision

Odd.

A few weeks ago a "LET" sign was there for the upper floor.

This week it looks like it is being stripped.

Its the Same Thread!

[AlexC]

Seems like a fair appeal to me - game on :D

[Louisa]

Just read the notes on the appeal. They have a pretty strong case, I wouldn't be surprised if they succeeded. And also, lets not forget the change of use application on the former crown house on east dulwich road. Maybe waitrose?

Louisa.

[Earl Aelfheah]

What happened to this? Was the planning appeal refused, or withdrawn.

[Earl Aelfheah]

Just seen from the website that appeal is being heard on 18th September.

I think it's at 9am at Council offices at Tooley St. I wonder why James Barber hasn't asked for the meeting to be moved to a more local venue and at a more convenient time as it is such an important issue?? I seem to recall he did this for the Great Exhibition outside seating debacle.

Edited for spelling.

[Louisa]

Why is it so important? They have these small format stores with limited access across London - and in areas with greater footfall than LL could ever dream of. If I were m&s I'd give up with this area and go somewhere you'd be much more appreciated without all this fuss.

Louisa.

[picmicnic]

Does any one know how the appeal went or what happens next?

Nothing has changed.

Iceland still there.
