intexasatthe moment Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Catching a train yesterday I was looking at the old C&A ( opened in 1930's and now Mc Donalds ) building and thinking how pristine it looked ,how well it's structure had weathered and stood the test of time .

Eileen Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 edhistory Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> This applies to Station Arcade too.I think you mistake the Article 4 direction. It applies only to attempts to change from retail to professional services like estate agents. In future they will have to apply for a change of use, and go through the consultation process. That procedure had been removed last April by central Government. The Article 4 Direction restored the Council's power to refuse permission for such changes.In the station case there had to be a change of use application anyway, which is happening right now, as it isn't retail to professional services and is a multiple use case as well as a major development.

Yes, There were two C&A's One which is now McDonalds and the other opposite the station entrance between the two railway bridges..

Louisa Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 To new or relatively new residents to the area, it must be hard to believe that right up until the early to mid 1980's Rye Lane was a hugely important retail destination. Numerous big chain department stores, including (as Foxy rightly points out above) two C&A stores. The current renaissance in the area will hopefully bring back some of that magic of the glory days in some form or other over the next decade. I don't personally believe Foxtons needs to be part of that though, retail/restaurant/bars I'm definitely all for though. Louisa.

All of Station Arcade is within a protected zone.2. Southwark Council has the power allow the developers to destroy this building of national architectural importance.3. There is no problem with this destruction area being left as a void windblown area.4. Unless the red-line boundary is changed only A1 can be built there in the future despite there being non-A1 there now. But Southwark Council can override this.5. Future change of use applications for new builds away from A1 use to non-A1 will be refused. But Southwark Council can override this. AND Peckham Vision might like to think about how to register this proposed open space as Metropolitan Open Land.AND if the developers plant a few trees in pots you could claim it's really "Peckham Woods".John K5.

Ridgley Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 It?s funny how luxury flats I been built in Peckham and then Foxtons is moving in to cash in, properly no social housing or affordable housing for the locals smells like gentrification to me.

Louisa Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Well after all that it seems the application was 'withdrawn', presumably before it went to committee level?

Nothing is coming up on the Planning search website for this address. Or is it an April Fool?! The address on the document on the link is 218 ? 222 Rye Lane.

Peckhamrye Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 It is inevitable that they want a site here, and given that, I think it is preferable there, near to all the other Estate Agents, than further up Rye Lane.
