Looks like someone is wanting to convert the old Constitutional Club on EDG into another nursery. Looks to be unconnected with the existing one next door. Much larger I would guess - plans show capacity for over 150 children (babies and toddlers).

Seems like there are two related applications: 20/AP/3460 and 20/AP/3461


Planning decision hasn't been made yet - comments so far seem generally against.

IMO it was always likely to be residential or a business. The company behind the planning permission is NewCore who have other properties in London leased to nurseries in their portfolio. https://www.newcorecapital.com/


Re: traffic I very much doubt with it being so large that all the potential users will be walking or cycling. Also wonder where the staff will come from, let's face it early years education probably doesn't pay enough to live in ED these days.

Sold for nearly ?4m.

Arguments against:

Their unbelievable no car policy

Saturated catchment area (already 44 nurseries)

Building is a heritage centre donated for community use

Accessibility issues for nearly 400 people (staff, kids, parents) each morning/afternoon

Impact on other nurseries

CPZ and closure of roads

Etc


Are there really that many local babies?

Many parents will not cycle or walk to drop off and collect their children, so an already severely congested road will become even more so. 150 children is a very large nursery.


Well, if people will have children, what can you expect?


I am all for new businesses, especially ones that are conducive to building/improving a sense of community. If you live in Nappy Valley you're going to need all the things that come after the nappy stage, and this is one of them.

They had a small carpark round the back, didn't they?


But surely from Silvester Road they wouldn't need vans to get to most places in East Dulwich?

That had a hardstanding for several vehicles, also large steel concertina access doors so RM vans and lorries could back-in to load up.

What an abysmal idea which will ruin the lovely nursery next door. This one is posh and expensive apparently. There is already so much traffic and queues in the area and this will add to the rush hour problems as parents arrive for drop off and collection.

Hope all those NIMBY people in the roads closed off opposite will enjoy a constant stream of quick parking then u-turning drivers who will use your gorgeous quiet roads.

Serves you right if you don't like it. Your road systems have created the queues and pollution we and all the schoolchildren have to endure, time to re-open all the side roads currently closed off, and look at the possibilities properly.

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
