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.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.
