puzzled Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I see from the planning notice on a tree outside that the back end of green and blue is to be demolished and rebuilt smaller. it seems the developer built it all without planning permission and must now pay take the consequences Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6077-green-and-blue/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

puzzled Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 nothing to do with green and blue. their landlord apparently applied for permission to expand a couple of years ago,was turned down but went ahead anyway. council enforcement officers have been following up for a year . the new rebuild scheme would appear to be a compromise Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6077-green-and-blue/#findComment-195072 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherwick Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Does this spending of taxpayer money actually help anyone? Just asking.. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6077-green-and-blue/#findComment-195082 Share on other sites More sharing options...
legalbeagle Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Puzzled - as you say, planning isn't the responsibility of G&B as we don't own the building. I don't want to speak for our landlord, but you can see from the planning notice that the council have asked for the second storey of the extension that he built to be removed. As you'll know, G&B only uses the ground floor, which is the part of the building works that have been allowed to remain, so it's business as usual for us. I'll leave it to others to debate whether that is a fair/sensible use of taxpayers money!

northlondoner Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Yes good to hear G and B won;t be affected but honestly, doesnt the council have anything more constructive to do?

20stonegnome Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Enforcing planning regs is vital,especially when it comes to business premises. Whole neighbourhoods can be blighted by a noisy or polluting firm,ie. jobbing builders turning their gardens into scaffolding yards,bars extending premises and garages operating substandard spray booths etc..... Southwark council should be ruthless in enforcing,no business or individual should be able to flout the planning law.

Jamma Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Of course this is a good use of taxpayers money. As has been noted planning regulations have to be enforced. What's being suggested by some here - that the council only stop the bad people from breaking the law but let the nice folk do what they want? Nuts.
