There is an application for a Londis store to operate as an off-licence, selling alcohol, vapes, cigarettes and fast food takeaway next to the Charter East entrance. The proposed operating hours are daily until 1:00 AM.

If you look at the application linked to in the OP, you'll see it's a Licensing Act 2003 one, in this case for the purposes of sale by retail of alcohol and for the provision of late night refreshment: "TAKEAWAY COFFEE/ HOT SNACKS 2300-0100".

IF the shop counts as a Hot Food Takeaway, then section P48 of the Southwark Plan

https://www.southwark.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2024-09/Southwark Plan 2022 reduced 1.pdf ,

which appears to be the latest one linked to on Southwark's site, will I presume be applied in any  planning application (Is there one?). It says:

"New hot food takeaways will only be permitted where: .....

3. The proposed location is further than 400 metres from any existing or proposed primary or secondary school’s boundary; ....."

It incorporates  policy laid down in the National Planning Policy Framework, and thence the London Plan. 

Over the years KFC, and others, have taken a  number of appeals against local planning authority decisions on Takeaways to the Planning Inspectorate.  Some have been allowed.  KFCs 'commentary on evidence contained in London Plan Topic Paper: Hot Food Takeaways', https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/nlp_ad_91.pdf may be of interest to some. I'm guessing it's referring to https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/london_plan_topic_paper_on_hot_food_takeaways.pdf of 2018, but haven't yet checked.

I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here

Is that the site that was Big Bellys at one time ?  I suspect that they have an eye on the flats that will be going up in the builders yard space as this will be right at the entrance.

That site is currently being set up as a physio. A google search suggests units 1-2 is where Drop wine bar currently is.

I dont see a problem with this if there is a problem. Its quite further out from the charter school and its right next to where they are going to make the entrance for those student flats. If anything its better for the residents since the Mark and Son closes at 7. I’d imagine the teachers won’t let the students go into the shop after school hours anyways

Don't see an issue at all. Sounds like the protest is being made by friends and families of the two off licences, Morleys, pret and maxim chicken who are within 100 m of the school. Much ado about nothing. Besides if it doesn't proceed, the kids will walk a but further!!

agreed, I think there's been some serious foul play when even a Nightclub doesn't even get this many objections and this application is for a tiny off-licence with alcohol being a tiny part. If anyone was bothered to go down to the area you would see that the shop is tiny! This wouldn't be rejected if there's a wine store 2 units away which looks to be triple the size of this store

What's with all the new posters on this thread?

Most of them are posting on other threads as well.

Maybe some of them have a particular interest in this topic. That isn't a problem, is it?

It's a local forum! Anyone can join it and post on it!

That petition is bananas.

 

If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest.

Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Rockets · Posted

      Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By jazzer · Posted

      Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s

      The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.

      Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
