first mate Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 The current, rundown astroturf is useable by all completely free of charge.Is the smaller replacement recreational area also going to be completely free of charge? If not then my view is this is a loss to the community not a gain. My strong suspicion is this will become block booked by local schools and school clubs that will be able to fund the charges, more so because schools like the new Charter and the various local Harris schools have little in the way of useable playground. Moreover, the area will be available for hire by any relevant organisation throughout S'wark.Don't wish to seem negative but just not sure about this.

legalalien Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 I haven’t read any of the underlying councildocumentation but according to the judgment the smaller MUGA (as opposed to the 3G pitch) is going to be available free of charge and on a non-bookable basis, with the intention that it be available to the community on a similar “informal” basis as the astro has since the council unlocked the gates to it in 2018. There’s also a suggestion that the club has to use reasonable endeavours to secure a long lease of the St Olaves grounds for additional community use ( reasonable endeavours not the strongest of obligations of course).The judge says when considering the public sector equality duty point:“ In my judgment, unlike in Williams, the Council did not overlook a main impact of the proposal. The real point was that local people including many BAME people, use the Astroturf for informal sport and recreation and for them it is important that it is free and does not require booking. The Council expressly considered those matters and its judgement (in agreement with the GLA) was that the kickabout space together with the new and replacement facilities regulated by the Community Use Agreement would appropriately mitigate the impact.” Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/257346-dulwich-hamlet-football-club-planning-decision-27th-july/page/7/#findComment-1606403 Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Barber Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Approved scheme usually have three years to start. Start can be pretty minuscule in practice.

ed_pete Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Does this announcement mean the new stadium is going ahead on the Astroturf site after all ? And the development of the old stadium into housing will also go ahead or does this need more planning approval ?

CPR Dave Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 (edited) They've managed quite well without destroying this bit of green belt. I think they should stay where they are. We don't need any more houses here. East Dulwich is fine as it is.
