The Educational Finance Agency appointed their technical team earleir this month. They're now working on the design and Project Plan. My understanding is that they'll submit planning applciation early summer after consulted with the neighbouring area.

Hopefully demoiltion will occur in parallel once plans submitted.

Building then starts early Autumn.

What do you mean by both police stations? Only the Lordship Lane police station is going to a school. Or, am I missing info in another police station and another school?

Gosh, I'm struggling to see all the flats plus 5 four bedroom houses fit on that site! They'll be hideously small .... And another plan for basements approved! Completely driven by money hungry developers trying to squeeze as much money as possible out of the site. We'll end up with another Toy Town development like the one on the corner of Barry and Underhill.

Apologies. My mistake. Only one cop shop not two.

Hi unlurked,

I wouldn't call a 4,000 person petition to save the former East Dulwich Police station losing it without a fight.

The first proposals to close it were from Val Shawcross and Ken Livingstone. But ironic that it was closed by Boris Johnson on a campaign ticket of not closing this police station without providing a proper alternative.


But once closed June 2013 it's then a matter of getting the best possible use for the site. WE need more local schools. So after a lot of work we've ensured it's going to be used for a new primary school rather than housing aggravating the need for more schools.

Haha. Everytime you attempt to try to defend lib con dem complicity your 'facts' get more and more elaborate and distorted! Next week you would have chained yourself to a cell door in your committment to save the cop shop. Lol. Anyway, my earlier mistake was interpreting "old police station" as indeed the old station on CPR, and not the new station on LL. That is because i'm a long term ED resident and not a seagull resident - fly in, make lots of noise, shit on the area and fly off again.

It's just the relentless cramming of every tiny bit of space. Next we'll have cases made for building up since there'll be no horizontal space left-especially if back gardens begin to be sliced and diced by developers.


Recently went past Nine Elms and shocked to see Boris' grand vision if a skyscraper tunnel rapidly realised. No more views of the river-all sold up to international developers.

The density on the site will be 525 habitable rooms per hectare ,much higher than Southwark's recommended 200-350 .

http://planningonline.southwark.gov.uk/DocsOnline/Documents/341017_1.pdf


But the room sizes all meet the reguirements and apparently high density is ok if the standard of the design is exemplary .


Though how ones balances a largely subjective criteria against an absolute ,I don't know .

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.

      I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
