That is sad. I didn't go much but it was interesting. The pizzas were really nice. Hopefully it's not just a chicken shop for the after school market. -

There's an 8 storey building about 200 yards NW of the site in question! It's so unremarkable that apparently many of the objectors don't even know it exists. 1) you're objecting to the economic analysis on the basis of "having a student"? That's hardly an evidence-based position. 2) 50-100 vehicles per day for move-in and move-out weekends, not every weekend, then? 3) It is a bit disappointing that you are disregarding the fairly obvious substantive difference between students enrolled in universities and pupils enrolled in local schools. Adults travel from all over England, the UK and the world to study at university in London. Parents of pupils at state schools try to send them to study as close to home as possible. Equally, you are ignoring that the student accommodation sector doesn't have enough capacity to house all students anyway. That is why many students live in share houses, whic increases competition with "regular" non-students who also want to rent those houses. Further, it's disappointing that you have decided students' accommodation needs are somehow not a valid consideration for you. They are also members of society - although perhaps they don't vote as much in local elections as houseowners do. Finally, you are again contradicting your own position that more student accommodation is unnecessary when you point out how expensive it is! That indicates an undersupply, and is a good reason to allow private companies to build more - it depresses the market price and makes it incrementally more accessible to lower income students. Does it not strike you as odd that are simultaneously suggesting that only rich foreign students will live in the student accommodation BUT also that there aren't enough local students to fill it up and students don't have any money to spend in the local economy anyway? -
You can also use the CDs on a string as bird scarers on a vegetable patch or allotment! Loads of other ideas online, eg: https://www.momsandcrafters.com/things-to-do-with-cds/ It seems a waste (literally) for them just to go into landfill. If I didn't already have a house full of things to do, I would take them off your hands! Maybe kids at a nursery or primary school might be able to do something with them? -

I'm in East Dulwich and heard them in the distance and also wondered what they were celebrating.
