Just seen this on nextdoor.


As I understand it Southwark were originally planning a three storey block but have now told residents there that the plan is for a six storey development.

Not sure of all the background but thought folk might be interested. Copies of some correspondence etc with residents at https://www.southwark.gov.uk/housing/new-council-homes/where-we-re-building/dulwich-wood/lordship-lane-estate

But of course - squeeze in more people in already busy area, take away whatever little green space people have and add more noise (more people, more cars etc) - just because you can!


How about a six storey block on Court Lane instead? Or several?

For a second I thought you were suggesting the so called "Dulwich Square" of shame


That could have been a fitting use of a now closed road 😱

Yes, let's just keep people in temporary accomodation instead

A developer would need 2+ neighbouring plots to put up a block of flats, unlikely to happen so court lane plots stay as houses


Why the fixation on court lane?


Where else is the council supposed to get the land from?

I'm a little confused about this petition - it says that the 6 storey proposed block would 'dwarf surrounding blocks', but then all those in the photo appear to have 6 stories. Are there smaller blocks surrounding the area where building is proposed?

I agree that we need housing and if that means building on land currently used for garages, then good! I like the idea of low high-rise, or whatever the official term is. I like the 3 and 4-storey buildigns you see around, like on Walworth Road and even Lordship Lane. It seems sensible to build up another twenty feet than build out, though I do understand that such accommodation is not suitable for all.

It's a complex issue and one that is becoming more complex after the council's policy to sell off a lot of council sites to private property developers over the last 10 years or so (much of it because the running costs had become too high as buildings aged and fell into disrepair). Much of the re-development of Elephant and Castle has come at the cost of council homes so the council has to find new places to build homes to replace those lost.

It's part of the "Southwark is being ruined by a cabal of Court Lane-residing plutocrats and Bolshevik civil servants" conspiracy theory.

The rear of the estate facing Dulwich Common has three blocks each which makes the proposed block a blot on the landscape.

      I am keeping my fingers crossed the next few days are not so loud. I honestly think it is the private, back garden displays that are most problematic as, in general, there is no way of knowing when and where they might happen. For those letting off a few bangers in the garden I get it is tempting to think what's the harm in a few minutes of 'fun', but it is the absolute randomness of sudden bangs that can do irreparable damage to people and animals. With organised events that are well advertised there is some forewarning at least, and the hope is that organisers of such events can be persuaded to adopt and make a virtue of using only low noise displays in future.

      There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.

      They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
