I believe all of Court Lane is in the ?Dulwich Estate? as is most of Woodward rd some of the top end away from the village near the plough is not.


Both roads are in the Southwark conservation area scheme.


BE WARNED!


If the house you buy is on the Dulwich Estate and you are thinking of extending you will need planning permission from the Estate as well as Southwark for even the most minor changes.


Many owners have gone through many years of planning grief expect to spend many thousands on architects and lawyers it?s a very costly minefield expect to get planning for nothing that way you won?t be disappointed. I have friends who went through hell for years spent thousands and got nowhere.



Woodward over Court Lane IMO unless you?ve got the money for one of the monster house near park the gates with off street parking for several cars.


edit


Estate houses are now 99% Freehold.

Living on the Dulwich estates is a bonus, not a draw back. They have stopped so many of the fabulous, capacious homes on my road being divided into multiple dwellings. Mr Sentor (the estates architect) is very handsome and nothing but helpful (bats eyelashes). Court Lane is a rat run and Woodwarde by far the more sedate place to live, clearly. Alleyn Road is the best road in SE21 (sigh). Obviously it is out of reach for so many of you on here, but hey ho, it gives you something to aspire to (smirk). Anyone for G&T?

I wish I had a rich wife who could buy me a dwelling in SE21. Then I'd be happy to be a stay at home Dad and set up a website.


(Just a little joke that one - you can't expect to neglect the forum for that long and come back and tell us all how rich you are DM)

Alleyn Road, being literally the wrong side of the tracks, is practically Norwood-borders is it not? B)


So much of Court Lane has no off-street parking and it is practically a main road. Some of the houses look quite....compact...The quieter streets running off it look far more charming.

Personally, I prefer Court Lane - most of the houses seem bigger and are varied in design. Yes, it is quite busy but is nearer to the park. I've heard that traffic control measures are shortly being undertaken in Court Lane so it may make the road less busy?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


There goes another couple of ?100k of the local budget, which could be spent, on refurbishment of something more important.



I doubt it will help make it less busy.



I have friends who live on court lane and the existing speed bumps have caused an increase in noise all day and all night vans lorries and cars thump and bang up and down them and rev their engines.


One reason why Woodward is the nicer road IMO.

I think the houses on Woodwarde Road are nicer and the road much more pleasant than Court Lane (apart from the court Lane Garden-backing-onto-the-park ones). Would take issue with Dulwichmum about Alleyn Road; we looked and almost completed in one of the non-Victorian houses on Alleyn, but the thought of crossing the south circular proved too much - a lucky escape. We settled in the village instead, which is much more convenient for the local primaries and shops.

Dear friends,


I do not live in nasty Norwood or vile Gipsy Hill - you will find that they are both Lambeth, and I could NEVER live in Lambeth (stamps foot). I shall have you know that an in and out drive is essential for me, and as I have young children, separate staff quarters on my enormous plot are a must.


I have not been active on the Forum as I have been sulking for weeks, since I was threatened by one of the Forumites. He emailed and said that he was going to do something medieval to me (gulp). As so many of you are clearly aware, I am a lady, and very easily intimidated (wipes tear from eye)...

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
