This is correct. Southwark building on a lot of 'infill' sites, removing green space in and around Estates. Pretty shoddy when seen in the context of their mass sell off (at a loss) or huge swathes of land and social housing in the South of the Borough.

Grass please

London is already over developed and we need green spaces to provide mental wellbeing and lungs for the city.

Trying to accommodate everyone who wants to live in London is like squeezing your size 16 body into a size 8 dress, eventually it will pop at the seams (if the gusset of infrastructures doesn't collapse first)

Whilst it's not ideal, encouraging people not to move to London by moving jobs out of the capital and to areas where work is badly needed will give London a chance.

The reality is that the more Homes that are built, the more people will want to live here, but like any supply and demand situation, if there's no supply, then the demand will look elsewhere.

Sorry but building on green spaces isn't going to solve Londons overcrowding problem, but it possibly will make it worse.

Anyway I thought everyone was going to work remotely from towns and cities outside London 🙃

Perhaps keep it in relation to Brenchley Gardens rather than the wider debate. The last I'd heard the idea had been dropped.

i) Does anyone know when it was resurrected; And

ii) Are their more details about the proposals?
