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

    • At it's peak I recall 16 Furkin pubs, all brewing their own.    The first pub was the Goose, followed by the Ferret, the wonderful Pheonix, Fox and one other, not necessarily in that order, when I discovered them. I did all 16 on public transport in one day with a group many years ago, if Guinness had a record this would be one, as everyone else would hire a minibus. Reverting to Wiki, it maxed out with 19 home brew pubs, and many more not brewing before the end: chain was established in 1979 by David Bruce as Bruce's Brewery, the Firkin Brewery grew as a chain of mostly brewpubs offering cask ale. It was acquired by Midsummer Leisure in 1988, Stakis Leisure in 1990 and then by Allied Domecq in 1991; by 1995 the chain had 44 pubs, 19 of which brewed beer on site.[1] In 1999, Punch Taverns bought the entire chain and the rights to the Firkin brand,[2] and then sold 110 of the pubs to Bass, leaving 60 Firkin pubs under Punch ownership.[3] The brewery side of the chain was wound up, and in March 2001 Punch announced that the Firkin brand was to be discontinued.[4] 
    • Hello! I’m looking to collect some pallets and MDF boards from anyone in the area who has some and no longer needs them?   It would also be a huge bonus if anyone has a PA sound system I could rent/borrow/buy off them.   Thank you in advance!
