PROTECTING PECKHAM?S ROOFTOP VIEW: Presenting the petition Sat 7 Feb 3pm


Recommended Posts

Presenting the petition is the next stage in the campaign to protect Peckham's view from the rooftops on the Bussey building and the cinema/multi-storey car park building, while the future uses of the car park building are being examined.


Can you spare an hour on Saturday afternoon to support the deputation? We need as many supporters as possible to help ward councillors see the significance of this issue. This is about the need to have an integrated view to planning key aspects of the town centre. They do sometimes listen if they know enough local people are seriously taking a watchful interest.


Please come to support the petition presentation at the

Peckham & Nunhead Community Council on

SATURDAY 7th February at 3.00pm, in the Damilola Taylor Centre,

1 East Surrey Grove, off Commercial Way, near Southampton Way.

    • 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.
