Does anyone know who the developer is? I'm bored at work and wanted to have a nosey at it as the illustrations on the boards out the front look interesting. If anyone is nearby, perhaps you could get the website address for me... I've been googling to no avail and am now on a mission!

Oh yeah, you are right! I saw the first photo and thought it was the block that has already been built but a few pages on and the new development is illustrated! thanks.

A few points on this one:


- The flats aren't even close to in keeping with the rest of the street.


- The "mews" house is stuck on the side to get a few extra quid. And is massively overlooked by the six flats.


- Having dealt with this guy before, he massively pushes the envelope with planning and the end finish is not as the hoardings would have it.


- Nobody who buys these will be parking am Aston Martin Vanquish outside....except perhaps the guy who owns MYN Properties.


- It's on a main road. And will be overpriced.

That would be a real shame, I really appreciate his (?) garden every time I walk past.

Yes that would be a shame, - I love his garden too, colourful, traditional & full of bloom which no doubt attracts birds, bees and other insects.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
