#RebuildTheGreyhound - pub to be rebuilt by April 2015?

I'm beginning to think the Greyhound will never happen. :( What a waste of time and money. So depressing. I’m struggling to understand all this doom and gloom. I appreciate that the Greyhound has been a long saga, but we now have: - A Sainsbury’s Local store in the unit to the rear of the pub, whic...

Advice - improper use of property

This may well be a change of use of the garages for which planning permission has not been secured. You can check at http://planning.lewisham.gov.uk/online-applications/ whether a planning application for change of use was submitted and approved. If not, I suggest that you raise this issue with the ...

Orange Blossom

This is an application for 'prior approval' to convert the office space to residential. The principle of change of use isn't at issue here, as change of use from office to residential is 'permitted development', provided that the local planning authority is content that: - The development would not ...

. Incidentally, there has been some graffiti added to the grey paint so I hope the new owners move in soon and remove the boarding... Please report graffiti at http://www.fixmystreet.com so that Lewisham Council can remove it. If it's offensive, as in this case, you should select the 'Graffiti (Off...

Graffiti, flyposting and flytipping

I no longer live in Sydenham, but I briefly passed through the area today and was disappointed to see a large amount of graffiti, flyposting and flytipping on and around the high street. It's a real shame, because there are so many great things about Sydenham! But don't forget that Lewisham Council ...

On The Hoof for sale

It's not closing down. They are looking for someone to buy the business to run as a going concern.

I think you've hit the nail on the head here.
A bistro with a net profit of c£50,000 being sold as a going concern is surely not evidence of reverse gentrification.
