Any ideas what's happening with the tarpaulin covered 'shop-fronts' nr Dulwich Library/The Plough?

[LordLane]

The building work is ongoing and the whole site will be finished shortly.With the downstairs shops first to be completed.

Oh no, I don't want a Somerfield there, you can get pretty much everything they sell from the smaller shops that are nearby. I wonder how it will affect their businesses. Parking can be a problem around there anyway and Somerfield will only make it harder for me to park outside my house. Apparently I can't object though because my reasons don't appear to be valid. This from the licensing site:

Objections must relate to one or more of these four licensing objectives.

1. The prevention of crime and disorder

2. Public safety

3. The prevention of nuisance

4. The protection of children from harm

Increased vehicle traffic can apply to points 2 and 4. Late night opening hours can apply to 3.

It sounds like it's way past the consultation period though.

You won't get a Somerfield there. They have been taken over by the Co-op, who are in the process of selling off some Somerfield stores and changing the rest to Co-ops.

There's a separate thread about this elsewhere in relation to the Lordship Lane Somerfield.

Fingers crossed it's a Burger King.

Hopefully it will be a subway sandwich bar( never had a subway sandwich) or a sushi bar!! Not more shops!

That sells alcohol? BRILLIANT!!! :)-D:))

A shop that sells African land snails would be good.

Just to see people shielding their children's eyes as they pass the nasty ethnic foods.
