Timetable update courtesy of Councillor Getgood. Note that the formal consultation starts in the Spring but there is a drop in sesssion on 10 December Just a couple of updates from the recent Executive Board meeting: Not unexpectedly, the timetable has slipped somewhat. Arup's will be launching the ...

Some London Assembly Members asked the Mayor of London questions about the proposals to rebuilt the Crystal Palace. Answers below Crystal Palace - planning decision Question No: 2013/3415 Darren Johnson (Green) Given that you have given your public backing to the plans to rebuild the Crystal Palace,...

The Community Stakeholder Group http://www.crystalpalacepark.org.uk/ have written an open letter to Mr Ni of Zhongrong Holdings in response to his to the community (details below) The CSG is also preparing an issues identifier in an effort to capture local views, opinions and comments (pro. In the m...

Most kind. This is such a civilised forum. Re the consultation one thing for me is exploring in detail what would actually be hosted in the venue and what the infrastructure need will be Given the size, cost and intended purposes I think its worth looking for comparibles and how the surrounding infr...

Sorry Stuart I should have included the explanatory note below It should be noted that the area on the map is not a planning application area or a proposed construction area. It is an area which the council has agreed that it will not discuss development proposals with third parties without the expr...

I think Sid you are confusing the multiplex proposals in the late 1990's , which had nothing to do with the LDA and the LDA Masterplan which was developed from 2007. The publc consultations, when not disrupted by a very vocal no to housing local Citizens (plenty of other no-ers behaved perfectly wel...

As someone who lives on one of the roads which is likely to act as a feeder route , if the plans, as currently formulated, go through , I am worried about traffic levels but I am not at all convinced about the doommongering that the plans will result in gridlock and vast numbers of HGVs arriving to ...

At the risk of reopening an old, and remarkably heated thread , I thought STFers might want to know that the CPCA have lost their appeal. Now some might say CPCA lost their appeal some time ago (sorry I will behave) but this is about their legal appeal to the Court of Appeal against the decision of ...

If they were made in PM's then I suggest that you take it up with the moderators rather than saying so on an open forum, which is the actual place for such disputes I've made no PM's to the Duke either Lee. I have not communicated with her at all since last November , bar one occassion which I refe...

Six months ago I blocked his phone and email from my contact list due to the increasingly abusive and malicious correspondence - reading some of the stuff he sent was distressing and left me feeling emotionally battered. Well that's news to me. The Duke puts me in a difficult position because what ...

Pardon. Could you summarise that please? Thanks. I ll try If you really want me to. The point I am making is that I have set out my opinion on housing in the park, and where possible explained why I hold it, explained how my view developed (e.g link's to the VN thread where my posts set out a trail...

Fortunately CPFC2010 have announced they will not be submitting any planning apps but instead will invest in the land they actually own and that has been the home of the Eagles for 80+ years Could you provide the source for this please. Where is this announcment ? I'd be interested in reading this....

As Hitler once said,... "Don't come to a party empty-handied. You need tanks and machine guns to persuade the populace" We appear to have just proved Godwin's law :D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law It is also totally misleading to present those who do not believe that the MP is ...

If the powers that be want wide spread support for their Masterplan then it is time they listened to the community. The GLA currently has funding available for CPP - it's about £8m. Now why not modify the MP? Ditch the housing element and scrap digging up car parks to relocate elsewhere. Forget abo...

I think so much of this proposal has come from and will be decided by people holding powers for others Agree it was very much a top down, not bottom up , proposal but at leasts there is currently the possibility of management of the park being placed in the hands of a community trust - Who knows, w...

While a plan that is staggered may seem more achievable, it's also prone to mission creep and a turnover of leaders that mean all momentum is lost. I agree. Which is why, in my view, it’s better to engage with the key decision makers constructively (pardon the pun) and maintin that relationship so ...

You may be right THT. Only time will tell. But there is an assumption that the sales will go ahead - which is not cast in stone - The Caravan Park for example has a lease until 2019 so there is still time to explore other options and as has already been pointed out the housing market has changed - s...

The main problems I have with the plans is that they don't celebrate the palace enough That one’s a tricky balance I think because no one ,I don’t think., would want a return to this (although its a useful reminder that the park was not always a park as such http://i45.tinypic.com/70aulv.jpg But on...

What I find threatening in the recent posts is that they imply he has personal knowledge that he will choose to post if he so wishes I have implied no such thing. I have said no such thing and I have done no such thing. Nor have i any intention of doing so. Eagle asked me Puzzled why you put he /sh...
