The existing tenant needs Dulwich Estate permission to assign the lease (not to be unreasonable withheld) but they seem to support it - no doubt it's a sure way to secure the rent.


I have been told that DE has already insisted on some changes to Sainsbury's original layout/design. There is currently no planning application for a new shop front with Southwark but this will come in due course.


For deliveries, because it is the same sort of shop, the Council will have to accept the existing situation - unloading in the street, and parking likewise - it's as now.


The only planning application will be for the shop front - and loading/parking is not part of that. If there is an application for a different 'use class', there will be a chance to comment.

what a shame its not going to be waitrose lol. I'm joking !

i'm fed up with all of them, everywhere you turn a flaming tesco express or sainsbury local has popped up.

I to thought it was very small, how much money do these locals take, or is it just about having a street presence.

Extract from the latest edition of Dulwich Society eNews:


"Sainsbury?s comes to Dulwich: The Dulwich Estate has confirmed that Sainsbury?s will be taking over from Shepherds at 88 Dulwich Village. They are likely to open early in the New Year."

Anyone know what might replace the Post Office at No.84 when it moves to the Pharmacy? The new Sainsburys will presumably put pressure on the newsagent at No. 86 which may also then go. Would the Estate allow Sainsburys to expand into these units? Surely not...

Surely yes. They don't give a shit. The bigger the company the higher rents they can charge.


There goes the neighbourhood.

What a shame, I flippin' hate Sainsburys local (and Tesco express....and all the others). In my experience it seems good at the time (convenient etc), but then becomes repetative and boring- plus all that crowding in narrow aisles, fruit and veg all pre-packed, squeezing around shelf stackers, no bread left, self scan tills that NEVER save you time because some item doesn't scan.....etc! And it's not even a money saver!


The independent places will be pushed out

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance). 
    • Truly horrific. Being passive or fighting back is what many of us think about by violent theft. 
    • What ridiculous waste of money
