If we keep our eye on the link in ladyruskin's post, all the details will appear in due course once the application has been processed (might take a couple of weeks).


From a resident's perspective, although the new owners might be nice people, the change of use to A3 will inevitably open up the possibility of a restaurant with late-night operation in the future if the property is sold on.


One way around addressing this is for residents to request that a planning condition be required for last orders to be set at 10pm with a closing time of 11pm. This will at least restrict the operational hours of what ever ends up there with a view of protecting the amenity of the surrounding neighbourhood. Any future business who wanted to operate beyond those hours would have to reapply for planning permission which in turn would trigger a consultation.

Will this be before the building work now underway is completed?

I don't know the specifics of this site, but they don't need planning permission to build, it's more for change of use to A1/A3. So my guess is that the planning application will run in tandem with the building works but they can't operate as A3 until they have planning permission, which can take up to 2-3 months as there will have to be a consultation period. Will be interesting to see if they're open by Christmas, although they can operate as retail in the first instance without change of use. The way a cafe operates as retail is that the customer has to order and pay at the till rather than having a waitress come to the table, this is exactly how Gail's operates in the Village.

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
