DHFC planning consultation - for residents of Abbotswood Road and St Francis estate

[lpool]

Can't see anything from plan that suggests ST Francis Road would be proposed route as all the plans seem to still show it as a cul-de-sac. Aside from not being suitable for handling that volume of traffic, the access points at end of cul-de-sac are in private ownership so would be a non starter. Hadley are just testing the water at the moment. Whatever they actually have planned is probably some way off from being revealed.

Is St Francis Rd any narrower than other residential streets in East Dulwich? Looks similar to me. The Abbotswood estate is pretty small and doesn't generate much traffic, but St Francis would become a through road rather than a cul-de-sac so this might make it slightly less desirable.

@eastdulwichhenry, the road access is not the only very unclear thing.

Currently the now slightly reduced in size club carpark can hold around forty cars (reduced by the carwash). During matches we now see between thirty and fifty cars parking along the rear side of the ground, down Abbotswood Road, Burrow Road and even Talbot Road. There is no club carpark on any of the plans and it certainly needs one.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before but does anyone know why the buses are suddenly announcing "alight here for the Champion Hill stadium"? Doesn't seem like much of a landmark.....

How very dare you.

@mikeb -- An enquiry of King's College London in respect of that covenant might be in order; the consent of the College might have been required for the covenant to be breached or annulled.
