Hello, I wonder if anyone has experience of being a Southwark council leaseholder in a top floor flat and buying the loft space to do a conversion? I understand the council charge for this due to increase in value. It would be great to have a rough idea of how much they charge. Thanks

Several metrics involved - area and volume of loft, services in existing cavity affecting other unit(s) especially if there are council tenants also in the building, likely value of existing units, local precedents, likely value of output unit post conversion, condition of existing units and roof, surveys and party wall costs, and legal fees (plan to pay theirs as well as yours). Plan for Southwark to say no to your application at your cost. Plan for tens of thousands if they say yes. Remember they can still say no to some types of conversion plans even when you've managed to buy the loft - so also plan for the most meek of conversions before you do anything else.

Anyone else got any crisper suggestions?

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      It's not fair to hold Corbyn's brother's views against him when he has never explicitly or implicitly endorsed them. And he has enough of his own terrible positions to criticise anyway.

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      Completely unacceptable. They need to fund a proper, permanent park warden presence or this sort of behaviour will get worse. Parks should be safe for all to enjoy and being assaulted and threatened by teenage gangs may put more vulnerable people off using the park altogether. If they are prepared to threaten to hurt an animal then where might it lead? Sorry Alice but we'll have to disagree on this one. This does not sound like kids just being silly; lobbing water bombs at each other is one thing, but targeting complete strangers out for a walk and minding their own business and trying to kick their dog is, in my view, no laughing matter. A group of 15 teenagers can be intimidating, not to everyone but for some it can be, especially if their behaviour is aggressive.

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?

      A quick Google says that it is not undersubscribed unlike many subject schools so those claims mentioned above may not be true. Last Ofsted was good.  You are definitely right about the money. This is what trusts do. Remove word ‘subject’ above Remove word ‘subject’ above I can’t edit my ridiculous errors but would like to apologise  for messy post
