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

[Countrlass22]

Hopes Iceland staying do fill us in M&s just down road walworth road

[Louisa]

Waitrose are taking it on.

Are you sure?

Can you provide us with a reference?

[Zebedee Tring]

Is this wishful thinking on your part?

I for one wouldn't be unhappy if this happened.

[Louisa]

James Barber has already confirmed if M&S decide to pull out or look for a bigger unit (police station, co-op?) Waitrose are ready and waiting to take on this site as it is. Either way, it seems the outcome is the demise of Iceland who have served the locally community for close to forty years now (previously this was a Bejam store rebranded) and I will be sad to see them go.

And before them ? It was a Sainsbury?s freezer centre:

Are you sure?

The Bejam store sold freezers as well as frozen food. I think I actually bought one there.

ETA: I've never heard of a "Sainsbury's freezer centre", but I stand to be corrected!

Going back some 45 years:

less than that, 30 years ago was a Sainsbury's combined freezer centre and off license.

Ah, Ok, you've beaten me by 20 years! :)

ETA: But freezers were quite a new development 45 years ago, I think!

[Louisa]

I do remember now, yes it was a Sainsbury's Freezer Centre back in the early 1970s. In fact, I'm pretty sure Sainsbury's built that building.

Ooer! Planning App 14/AP/0280 on southwark website

[first mate]

Unlurked, looked an cannot find this application. Can you post a link?

[Jeremy]

http://planningonline.southwark.gov.uk/AcolNetCGI.exe?ACTION=UNWRAP&RIPNAME=Root.PgeResultDetail&TheSystemkey=9553324

They're still pushing for a rear extension.

Documents haven't been added yet, so hard to say what's different about the latest application.

[HelBel65]

Is it M+S again?

[Jeremy]

Potential future tenants are not relevant to planning applications as far as I know.

[first mate]

No documents to view yet online. No mention of which store brand. No consultation with neighbours etc..

[first mate]

James Barber, do you know anything about this latest application?

[bob]

Don't forget Bejams.

[James Barber]

Hi Firstmate,

I couldnt find that when I searched. But no I know no more than you.

[first mate]

James (Barber),

Another poster , Jeremy, kindly provided a link in an earlier post today ( see above and http://planningonline.southwark.gov.uk/AcolNetCGI.exe?ACTION=UNWRAP&RIPNAME=Root.PgeResultDetail&TheSystemkey=9553324).

I wonder if the item was submitted and then withdrawn as a search of planning does not bring it up but as the earlier link shows it is, or has been, on the site...it says the application is dated 28.1.2014. It is made by a Mr M Lerner and submitted by planning specialists Planning Perspectives LLP.

[James Barber]

Hi first amte,

i don't believe the application has been validated hence why not showing in searches. Planning officers check an application is fully complted before accepting it and the formal clock starts ticking. Validation can take anything from hours to many weeks.

Sorry FM, I can't do links from this device. When I looked at it yesterday it stated refurb of ground floor retail, and new flats on 1st floor etc. Seems very odd it can't be found now. Something dodgy is afoot.

Interesting... who are the 124 neighbours that have been consulted? No one in the vicinity that's for sure!
