Hi All,


A friend of mine was shown round 106 Lordship Lane a few days ago (after Haus Of Wood vacated) and submitted what she (and I) believed was a very strong offer to turn the space into a temporary retail unit (the landlord apparently only wants it to be temporary).


She was told flatly that the offer had been rejected and that there would be no discussion about it. The owner apparently IS going to be opening a coffee shop/bar there imminently.


Didn't this application get declined last year for a variety of reasons, including a misleading approach which saw old deeds used that didn't show adjacent houses that had been built ten years previously?


I'm concerned that this landlord may be trying to sneak some kind of application under the radar and that the (yet again empty) shop front with the estate agent sign in the window is just a rouse to keep us all quiet and assume a new retail unit will be opening soon...?


I for one don't want yet another restaurant/bar/cafe on LL, however this application has been dressed up. I suspect that in no time at all, later night openings will become the norm, then an alcohol license will be granted and we'll very quickly be seeing the landlord's original plan in full swing.


Any opinions on this?

A change of use to A3 restaurant application was refused, 1 August 2013. See attached or this http://planningonline.southwark.gov.uk/AcolNetCGI.exe?ACTION=UNWRAP&RIPNAME=Root.PgeResultDetail&TheSystemkey=9549506 or post 4.

I don't see anything to have an opinion about. If you have any concerns, take them up with the Planning Department.

Thanks ianr. If you look at previous posts on this matter you'll see that there was an awful lot of discussion about late night openings and a roof terrace inches from residents' bedroom windows. There was also the discussion about retail versus restaurant use and what it meant to the area as a whole.


I'm just wondering what everyone else's thoughts are. I know I wouldn't want a terrace full of people looking into my kids' bedrooms. I don't particularly want another cafe/restaurant either - but then I'm probably a little biased. I just think the area could do with more retail to keep it's identity as a buzzing high street.

So why the refusal of my friend's offer and their confidence that it will be opening as a cafe/restaurant imminently? How do we see if a new proposal's been submitted or if the old refusal has been challenged as it states can happen in that document?

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
