For the record, I agree that the property needs redeveloping - it's been an eyesore for years and it's the wrong place for a light industrial warehouse. But it's going to be a very public site, visible from Goose Green, the playground, the church, the sports centre, the restaurants on EDR, etc.. And it will be there for a long time. So the council should make sure it's a quality plan.

Neighbouring properties have received a letter inviting them to the site to view the plans on 28/11, 2pm to 8pm.

Did anyone go to the open day?

Well, James Barber started the thread so maybe he went along but thanks for bringing this to our attention James.

Was Kim there too? Especially as he was once head of Southwark Housing.

The whole E&C 'regeneration' is scandalous.

very nice work Mikeb. No doubt they will market proximity to leisure centre as "on-site fitness and leisure facilities"

Shall I say... This 'eyesore' property gave us lots of luck and happiness for the past 10 years. We love East Dulwich and over the past ten years we have seen East Dulwich gentrify. We felt it was time to move on and expand- which we were unable to do on Crystal Palace Road, so we have moved to pastures new.
