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.

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.

Cool, thanks.

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.

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!

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"?

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

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?

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.

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.

    • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Support from No-Files – A Truly Exceptional Experience I want to extend a huge thank you to Tony at No-Files Estate Agents for his incredible help and unwavering support over the past 10 months. My flat sale was far from straightforward, and I truly don’t think I’d be in my new home today without him. The process was made extremely difficult by solicitors who were unprofessional, unresponsive, and at times, outright rude. They refused to communicate with each other, which caused significant delays and confusion throughout the chain. Tony became the key point of contact between four people in the chain and the other estate agent, constantly stepping in to manage communication and keep things moving. The situation became so complex that all parties were forced to exchange and complete on the same day. Despite all three buyers and sellers having removal vans booked and packed, one solicitor refused to answer calls and only sent a single email at 3:55pm making it impossible for anyone to move that day. This caused unnecessary stress and cost for everyone involved and we all live for weeks with a flat with all my items packed away. To make matters worse, my mortgage offer—along with the offers for others in the chain—was expiring. Solicitors offered no guidance and simply suggested reapplying, with no clear timeline or confidence in the process. Throughout it all, Tony remained calm, communicative, and supportive. He was the only person I could rely on to explain what was happening, keep everyone in the loop, and offer reassurance during moments when I felt completely overwhelmed. His professionalism, dedication, and genuine care made all the difference. I am so grateful I chose No-Files. Although I’m sad to have moved out of the area and may not be able to use them again, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend them. If you're looking for an estate agent who is professional, honest, transparent, and truly goes above and beyond—No-Files and Tony are exactly who you need. Thank you again, Tony — I truly couldn’t have done this without you! May 2025  Andrea
