GREAT NEWS!


Attached decision from planning inspectorate. All good - appeal to demolish Railway Rise cottages REJECTED. Only remaining opportunity to take this forward is High Court.


Here's the concluding paragraph:


"29. I do not however share the appellant?s view that the proposal is an efficient use of land as it would harm the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbours and provide a substandard accommodation from an under provision of outside space. There would also be a loss of local heritage. These impacts are contrary to national/local planning policy to which I give considerable weight. I therefore find that when taken as a whole, the proposal is not sustainable development for which the Framework carries a presumption in favour."

Just seen this new planning application, documents aren't available on Southwark's planning portal yet but one to keep an eye on - 16/AP/1341 | Three storey rear extension to provide additional accommodation to two dwelling houses. | 2 AND 3 RAILWAY RISE, LONDON, SE22 8EE


http://planbuild.southwark.gov.uk:8190/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=_STHWR_DCAPR_9565779

I've written to the planning officer at Southwark because the consultation period for the new planning application on Railway Rise started on 2 May (running to 22 May), but the planning documents have yet to be made available on the website.

I have contacted the head of service asking what is going on and how this situation is bringing the council in disrepute. I'm hopefully an oversight and wont be long to make available drawings etc for people to comment against.

Interesting to see the Architect's presentation of the rejected proposal for 2&3 Railway Rise. Interesting to see that the case actually submitted were rather selective in their choice of images. They left out the two images which clearly show how the block would have towered over the neighbours. Instead they included the one with the flat Railway Rise.


Also interesting to see some of the errors in the proposal, such as the mysteriously moved chimney and other alterations to number 1 seemed to have originated with the architects. Poor work. They also anticipate the "future developments in the area" - presumably the eventual demolition of #1.


No news on the next proposal. Hopefully St Aidan's have turned their attention elsewhere.

I believe so. It's one of the projects on their old website: http://www.staidansgroup.com/projects.html, together with the failed development at the former Garden Centre. They are no longer involved with the Garden Centre site and I don't know if they were still involved with Soloman's passage when it was actually built, so I'm not implying they were responsible for the subsequent problems.

    • Hi there, Our Lexus NX300H, (reg RF18BWO) was stolen off our driveway last night, Monday 27th October. It was there at 9pm, and had gone by 7am. If anyone has any footage on their doorbell or Ring, that would be super helpful. We have asked some neighbours and reported to the police etc.  Most upsettingly, there was a box of old family videos in the car boot, in an old Sainsburys box (photo attached). If anyone sees these dumped at the side of the road, please contact me asap! They are priceless videos that my deceased grandparents took. Thank you for any info, Jojo  
    • Another shout out for Milk & More - their app allows you to alter the order, add or subtract to it and also to schedule holiday stops without having to leave messages in bottle - so more secure. You do have to set up a direct debit with them, but I haven't had any problems with that myself. I have had one or two missed or late deliveries in several years, but not really a problem - only very occasional and caused mainly by delivery-person illness. And very much feels like an old-fashioned milk delivery. They do special seasonal offers as well. More expensive than the cheapest of the super market milk prices, but for that its at your door, fresh and no bother.
    • Enjoying the nostalgia and memories.  As with others, we get ours through Milk and More (is part of big co, so there is that against it, but it's hardly a secret/niche thing) - returnable glass bottles of milk, orange juice, yoghurt, and much more besides (as per the name). And yes it comes in the middle of the night in an electric vehicle. So can still get out nostalgia fix, doubled when the Riverford chap comes too. 
    • This sounds like what goes on at Tessa Jowell GP surgery as well as others.   If you can flag yourself up as a ‘vulnerable’ patient or one that can’t use Apps for whatever reason etc then you can usually make appts by phone. They would have to make allowances. Quote the Equality Act 2010,  reasonable adjustments section.
