Re: New Aldi approved in Bell Green

The mural unfortunately ultimately petered out due to the “conservation area” which the station approach resides in. The council were shown the designs submitted for the vote and said they didn’t want any of them really and that it didn’t keep with the “conservation area”. JMLF is being discrete he...

Re: New Aldi approved in Bell Green

Oh - we are very interested Pat. For the record - that is if anyone on this forum is interested - the Sydenham Society welcomed Nando's. It did ask Lewisham if there was going to be any takeaway or home delivery as it was not clear on the original application. Trouble is SydSoc cries wolf so often, ...

Re: Payless, Sydenham

The vehicle has an MOT that will expire in Feb 2019.

It is insured.

It has a road fund license.

The vehicle registration is known to UK systems.

Leaves the question of cloning.

Re: Petition to Support the Redevelopment of All Inn One

Sorry JGD but I still can't see anything about that in the planning application documents. As I'm sure you know, anyone can make a planning application. An applicant doesn't have to own the site or even have any kind of contract arrangement in place. The planning application's "Declaration of ...

Re: Petition to Support the Redevelopment of All Inn One

According to the ownership declaration on the Planning Application, the All Inn One is still owned by the current landlords. Do you know otherwise? Yes. To the best of my knowledge a commercial contract arrangement is in place regarding the transaction of the sale of the business. It is to be assum...

Re: Petition to Support the Redevelopment of All Inn One

To avoid any doubt or ambiguity. My support is predicated on there being a comparably sized pub within the development. A garden space is desirable. But any subsequent walk back or change of use, post granting of planning permission or indeed before such permission is granted, will be resisted. It j...

Re: Petition to Support the Redevelopment of All Inn One

Do not think so. The new owners have proposed a new building for the hotel and the new pub. And have made a very public commitment in the local press to delivering the pub element. And since the pub first appeared in the mid-1800's it has been remodelled several times. From the high point of the 197...

Re: New Aldi approved in Bell Green

I love the view of the gasholders, so 'unloved' is not strictly correct, although I do acknowledge I seem to be one of the few not the many on this! May be a little more balanced than you think nicknack - there is a significant number of supporters of the view of the gas-holders - as demonstrated b...

Petition to Support the Redevelopment of All Inn One

Linda and I have over 45 years of patronage in this pub, since the mid-1970's, through many phases both very good and very bad. The existing pub building has been re-modelled several times since its inception in the mid-1800's.and has had many makeovers. It is essential that support for this proposa...
