WQ - I'd have to get some paperwork out ot have a real look, but isn't D1 medical treatment premises? Which would kind of make sense if it was previously used by the health care trust.


Aplication for A2 has the distinct smell of estate agent about it, i'm afraid.

oh right, i was wondering what was going on with the empty units by the video shop (that sounds some what outdated 'video' shop. so bombay going there, what goes next door? or has all this been sorted on another thread? sorry if it has and please redirect me, cheers.


i remember reading about a gym or osteopath place, but i thought that was going up towards the plough end ... so much activity on one south east london high street. it's all too exciting.

No 116 LL (old packing factory on corner of Bassano St, next to Thomas More(?) hall) is supposedly being converted into consulting rooms for some Harley Street consultants - this was second hand info, but might be the gym/osteo place you are referring to. I had also heard that Bombay Bicycle CLub have pulled out, don't know whether it's true but could well be, given how long they have had to open up.
I was chatting to the friendly owner of Willam Rose some while back about the shop next door, and he said that an elderly lady lived there and they had approached about leasing/buying her shop bit to expand into. Apprently she's not terribly friendly and said 'absoultely not' and 'by the way make sure you customers don't queue outside my shop front either' !! So they now have to do this queue management thing and direct people to the kerb side when it reaches the end of their shop front.

Yes i know, seems a bit strange that it's taken so long. Saw the builder and his sons in there last week, asked tham what was happening but they wouldn't give anything away!

A useful way of checking what planning applications are being considered is to look at them online


Go to following link 'Planning Lists' to see how to access this information.


If you are a nosey lace curtain twitcher then you can also see what your nearest neighbours are planning as well..

I think that she may be able to claim obstruction of a public highway in this situation and ask the police to enforce it, which would be a shame for William Rose hence the solution they have now is more or less the best for everyone (apart from maybe a bigger premise that is)

That sounds doubtful to me as, firstly, the public highway is the road and not the pavement and, secondly, it's not an obstruction if you're actually moving - and as William Rose employ gazillions of assistants even the longest queue moves at a pretty fair lick...


But the "solution" is obviously the diplomatic way to go, especially if WR still harbour long-term aims of buying her out and need to keep her sweet.

> I am not sure that the lady who lives next to William Rose has any legal right to make such demands, the pavement is public not private property.


Long stretches of the Lordship Lane pavements are owned by the shops. It's difficult to tell which unless there are boundary markers.


It would certainly make life interesting if the shops built boundary walls.

I'd find myself wondering if the old lady should have the legal right to keep the property vacant - there should be regulations in place that prevent indivudals from owning prime commercial property and deliberately preventing it being used for the purpose for which it has been categorised? I guess not.


I certainly wouldn't bother keeping her sweet - if she's continued to turn down reasonable financial offers on the property she's got a bad attitude. She can't turn a busy commercial street into a quiet residential one just because she fancies it that way.


It's a bit like that shop next door to Blue Mountain: that one apparently is being deliberately kept off the market because the owner had an unhappy commercial experience running the place, so now he's keeping it shut out of spite. Surely qualifications for ridicule?


These vacant lots are a blight on the local environment.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
