Thanks Counterlass22. I have since had a constructive meeting with my ward councillors, who after hearing the whole story have agreed to advocate on my behalf to have the decision reviewed. Obviously I can't say too much here, but it is a very positive first step and is in no small part due the the great response to my petition, so thanks again to everyone who has supported it..

Thank you.

It was a Kit. I did a fair bit of research and found Dunster Homes to offer the highest spec for your money.

I'm sure they have seen a rise in demand since covid hit as the base version of this was about ?1000 cheaper when I bought it 2 years ago. Set onto a gravel grid base which avoids the need for a concrete plinth or anything like that it goes up in a long day with another day to felt the roof, paint etc. https://dunsterhouse.co.uk/premiumplus-lantera-w4-5m-x-d3-5m

A studio perhaps?

Hi All. Yes Captured on the Rye is still trading. We have a purpose-built garden studio at my address in Barry Road where we are now hosting parties for up to 12 guests......."

Good luck keeping it.

You mentioned local councillors and MP.

Any of these can act as a "Designated Person" where Social Housing involved - arguably this would apply to you as Southwark freeholder - https://www.housing-ombudsman.org.uk/designated-persons/


My experience as a former Council was the threat of doing this was enough to get an officer to stand down from silliness (my view).


Specifically ask you Councillors and MP who is willing to be a "designated Person" for you. It will be telling who steps forward to help practically.

    • If anyone is going to the meetings above, you may wish to raise the issue of the impact of the lights, noise & activity on the local bat population. Gala commissioned a survey on bat activity, which stated that activity had been identified, with several species detected, and that action must be taken to minimise any disturbance to these legally protected species. One of the recommendations was "to limit artificial lighting and reduce noise levels starting at least 20 minutes before sunset throughout the event period"  I asked the Events Team three months ago whether this recommendation had been implemented. I finally got an answer yesterday - "This recommendation was not achievable due to the nature of the event... it was concluded that not implementing this recommendation would have little impact"  So there you have it. Commission a survey (box ticked) and then don't adhere to the findings because it's "not achievable", thereby wilfully and knowingly negatively affecting the foraging & commuting habits of a legally protected wildlife species. This is on top of the useless bird survey, which only takes into account activity within the walls of the site, not the surrounding area which is full of trees with nesting birds which are undoubtedly disturbed by a month of noise, lights & activity.
    • Really good service. Good bread. And very accommodating when we had to outwit our clever resident fox. 
    • ...and so, 4 years on from the "dramatic planning meeting" that approved the "meganursery", how has it all worked out in reality? The building looks nice from the outside - but I don't know anything more. Did either of the nursery businesses on EDG fail because there was no demand for nursery places in East Dulwich? Did Carmageddon on East Dulwich Grove get worse? Were pre-COVID work patterns abandoned forever (lol)? Were some of the concerns expressed in opposition to the planning application a teensy bit overblown...? https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/southwark/mega-nursery-approved-amid-dramatic-planning-meeting/
    • If I don’t feed the birds, they’ve actually come and perched on the fence and stared directly at me through the window. The squirrels do that too.
