I know it's 100 yards outside SE22, but does anyone know what the story is with the detached house in front of the second Charter School entrance (next to St Faiths), that's been boarded up for years? I'm just wondering if Charter has its eye on that plot of land for future expansion.

I'm not sure what Charter would do with it - the site is big for a house, but probably not big enough for any school building. I also very much doubt Charter would get the money - as a property I'm sure it's worth well over 2mil (the hospital is a new school so funding is different).

Most likely it will end up being redeveloped for new housing at some point...

Contact the Diocese of Southwark's Property Department http://www.southwark.anglican.org/contacts/email.php?id=107 to find out what the issues are, and their long term intention for the vicarage site. They're the ones who will know.


Don't forget to report back.

They applied to a build a 2 storey new vicarage plus 2 x 3 storey detached houses .


Refused in Oct 2012 on grounds that it would lead to a visually cramped overdevelopment of the site ,harmful and out of character with the streetscene and because the development didn't adequately address the impact on an existing Plane Tree .http://planningonline.southwark.gov.uk/DocsOnline/Documents/254391_1.pdf


Apparently the applicant appealed against the refusal ,*lost the appeal and a claim for costs . Interesting argument about the TPO'd Plane tree that had been felled before the planning application but resprouted and awarded a second TPO .http://planningonline.southwark.gov.uk/DocsOnline/Documents/325167_1.pdf


*sorry ,major error on my part ,applicant WON the appeal and was granted planning permission . They lost the request for costs of the appeal .


I'm sure Robin -rch on the forum - will have been well acquainted with the application .

The boarded up house isn't in front of The Charter School anyway as the OP put it.


It's always been part of St Faith's as far as I've remembered and just because a vicar becomes less able or too ill to carry on why should it become prime land? Maybe the current vicar lives off-site but I hope it becomes part of something the community could benefit from.

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
    • We can't use our kitchen for a while and so looking for an air fryer to plug the gap. Please let me know if you have a good one in working order.  07702 305 310 Thanks
