Re: Planning Watch [w/b 10/06/2019]
That’s the one, opposite the garage. According to planning documents it was a bomb site and then infilled with a breeze block structure used for storage on the ground floor. The new homes will fill the original perimeter of the Victorian housing.

Re: Planning Watch [w/b 10/06/2019]
Folk may have noticed this top permission follows the successful demolition of the breeze-block house at this site in the past fortnight, to give way of a recreation of one of the original Victorian terraces. Permission was originally granted in 2016. Good news.

Re: St Philip Neri school redevelopment
Whoever decided it would be a good idea to further this campaign by tweeting at the Pope (!) from the Sydenham Gasworks twitter account (@sgasworks) needs to think again. It's quite inappropriate to try and make this into some sort of religious matter.

Re: Refurb at the station / bye bye turdis
Well done on this initiative.
I hope it stops the flyposting -- and especially the gym's balloons which always look very tatty once they've popped, and have left the the paint on the lampposts a real mess.

Re: Bell Green Gas Holders - Proposal to Demolish in April 2018.
Is there any basis in the twitter rumour that houses are planned here? From a user calling themselves @sgasworks. Great news if true. Saw that post and it being re-tweeted by @si_mccormack from @d__architecture. The re-tweet seemed to be requesting clarification from Lewisham Mayor Damian Egan abou...

Re: Redevelopment of Mais House, Sydenham Hill
Except, like I say, the people living in the development will either a) already live locally, so they already have access to a GP; or b) be moving from elsewhere in the area, freeing up more GP spaces there. More than that, it's likely that some of those living in the new houses will work in the hea...

Re: Redevelopment of Mais House, Sydenham Hill
And it's true that GP provision is rubbish - a month's wait for an appointment is the norm, as everyone knows.
A campaign on this, using the considerable organizational power of our local neighbourhood groups, would certainly unite the community and unlock support for the homes we need.

Re: Redevelopment of Mais House, Sydenham Hill
Refusing to alleviate the housing crisis doesn’t lessen the GP shortage. Those people still live in the borough, and still need health care. They just have to live in temporary or unsuitable accommodation. Instead of trading off the housing shortage against the GP shortage, demand we fix both. Start...

Re: Redevelopment of Mais House, Sydenham Hill
We keep hearing how Sydenham folk want more social housing. I'm sure this is true. It just happens that whenever there's a proposal to actually get on and do it, people protest on traffic/privacy/aesthetics/in keeping/something or other grounds.
Every single time.

Re: Redevelopment of Mais House, Sydenham Hill
Aren't Lammas House and Otto Close also part of the City of London estate -- originally built for the benefit of people needful of social housing?
I like the designs, and I certainly like the provision of new homes for 550 people.

Re: New council homes
Did anyone else attend this?
The designs look excellent - stylish brick construction with balconies and brickwork detailings, and by an architect who lives in the neighbourhood. The council officer said they'd had a supportive response so far.

From the council report: “Mayow Road will deliver c.33 units of new social housing. This will be made up of c.27 new Temporary Accommodation (TA) family sized homes f...

Wonderful idea!
I'm sure some of the shop owners on the high street would welcome having their security shutters done?

Re: Bell Green Urban Renewal Plan
Thank you for sharing these. I like and support the emphasis on shifting the use of Bell Green from big-box retail to housing. However, it does strike me that there's a high degree of uncertainty over what may be very good ideas (eg who owns all the land), so understandably this could take a while t...

I hope there’s lots of housing in this masterplan. Maybe there’ll be a chance for local people to have their say on that before the unveiling.

New letter from the Syd Soc to the gas company here, asking for the gas holders to be kept. Their plan for the site to be unveiled in November.

Re: Bell Green - A New Plan, January 2019
How can we decide whether the above intervention by SydSoc is wrong or right when you haven’t provided the details of the case? Or is SydSoc always wrong? Were members consulted? Did the intervention have the backing of the community? If the answer is no, then in my book it was wrong. If people don...
