Background first: A wedge of real property to the west of the railway line between East Dulwich and North Dulwich, with access possible only through Talbot Road (at present), extending south behind the first few houses on the east side of Abbotswood Road -- all this is on the St Francis Estate, which is the little cul-de-sac settlement to the left and ahead as one drives into the Dog Kennel Hill superstore carpark -- has been the object of attempts at "development" on several occasions.


It is an odd little sliver of land that might work best as a bramble reserve. But, using shoehorns and Vaseline, something could of course be built on it. Discussion has centred on what sorts of constructions would not damage mature trees, overlook neighbouring houses, block light to those houses, evict bats, and so on.


A sports club was proposed; that was turned down. Most recently, to erect a set of houses has been put forward; that, too, has been turned down (http://planningonline.southwark.gov.uk, application 12/AP/2220).


This decision by Southwark Council can be appealed within six months, and may be.


Thanks extended to those readers who elected to comment on the most recent proposal.

The pendant or counterpart to "real" property is "personal" property. A parcel or tract of land, legally defined, and "improvements" made thereupon; counterpart / pendant, chattels, property susceptible of being transferred from place to place.


But you knew that.

    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.  
    • Sorry if I’m being slow but there’s no point in having a gate then is there?  Would have thought it was basic manners to respect someone’s property 
    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
