Southwark Council have published their New Southwark Plan preferred option which states that the green space (playing field) at Judith Kerr Primary School should be designated ?Open Space? status. The proposed designation to ?Open Space? in the New Southwark Plan will help protect it from the current threat of development by The Dulwich Estate.


JKPS is a state primary school and leases its building and grounds, which includes the green space, from The Dulwich Estate. The Dulwich Estate incorporated an option into the lease allowing it to develop residential housing on the green space subject to planning permission. If the development is approved, the green space will be permanently lost to the school. This will remove the school's only playing field, will reduce the outside space available by more than half, and remove all green space. This will severely restrict opportunities for education, play and sport for generations of children. Any development will add congestion to a very busy intersection and its proximity to the school gates will constitute an ongoing safety risk.


The New Southwark Plan preferred option is now open for consultation - Closing date is 5pm 12th Feb 2016. We need your help to ensure the proposed designation of 'Open Space' status is approved. Please register your support for this new designation by contacting:


Planning Policy, Regeneration, Freepost, SE1919/14, London, SE1p 5LX

Also, please sign this petition to Southwark Council to designate the playing field at Judith Kerr Primary School to 'Playing Fields' and 'Local Green Space'. https://www.change.org/p/southwark-council-save-judith-kerr-primary-school-s-only-playing-field-from-being-developed?utm_source=guides&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=petition_created

Thanks for letting us all know. I've written in to give my support for the the plan for Open Space designation.


It might be worth posting this in the Family Room as well and asking Admin to make it sticky (ie. remain as the top post) until the consultation is over.

    • 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...
