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oh right, i was wondering what was going on with the empty units by the video shop (that sounds some what outdated 'video' shop.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.

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
