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.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
