Not strictly East Dulwich but very close and if this development goes ahead, it will destroy a nature corridor essential for wildlife. There are many rare species on this site.

There is a petition at change.org save the stables. Please sign and share!

Thanks for the heads up.

may I suggest you either put a much clearer explanation about what you are Actually objecting to, i.e. what the development is  that you are worried about and a link to the planning application.  You may know but you need to state what it is. 

The clearer it is the quicker and easier it is for people to appreciate what the actually development, people don't have time to play through avid, then search an application

If you haven't already approach your local councillors to see what their view is on the development and see if they can get any informal insight from the planning officers in terms on how the application is viewed.

Why not in addition to quoting the application number, state what the application is for, as is written on the council website, its a simple cut and past job, IMO you're not helping yourself. And NO, I'm not going to read through the current 44 documents pertaining to the application. Suggest you state what the application is for and summarise what has happened so far to gain momentum and support. ps. you need to do likewise with the title of the petition.

Sadly I have no life and did delve into this.  If it's gone to planning committee and been passed unless you are very rich and have a good case then you are not going to do anything about it.  For Judicial Review you are talking maybe £20k including Lewisham's costs if you are not successful. 

There have been representations by the local community group which is a good way of opposing if this is not your immediate neighbourhood.  There is a mass of documents including ecological surveys, and although the sound was not good councillors had what appears to be a good discussion.

There is a shortage of homes and slithers of green will be built on.  Why not celebrate the good environmental initiatives in the borough, numerous small and large parks, Blackehath,  cemeteries with abundant wildlife, Waterlink Way, the railway cutting nature centres - Devonshire Road, Buckthorne Road, New Cross Cutting, Garthorne, Dacres Wood etc etc https://lewisham.gov.uk/inmyarea/openspaces/nature-reserves

And visit the wonderful cafe at Manor house Gardens park.

Lewisham must be the envy of other local authorities in the area in this respect.

If you want a good cause, how about Aquarius Golf Course, the lack of public access and looks rather unwelcoming to nature.

    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?     
    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around.  Update: I've just found this: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/community-wardens The guy in the photo at the bottom of the page was the lovely warden of last night and I've just now remembered him telling me he's based in Burgess Park. Anyway, there needs to be more of them, as I rarely see one in Peckham.
