Did you actually report it to the water board?

I must admit, I don't understand the obsession with Greendales. The area is nothing but an in-accessable to the public, dump of an area that attracts nothing but trouble-makers and fly tipping. I personally think Hadley's plans will only improve the area and make more of the green space. What a lot of people have failed to mention here is that they are not planning on encroaching on anymore greenspace than is currently taken up a the minute, just moving round the configuration of the site for the better - moving the ground away from nearby houses, removing the quite frankly, anti-social, local nuisance of a seven a side pitch, completing the green space connection between the park and Greendales (the existing alleyway would be moved upwards behind the bottom block of new houses and a more natural country path created), and yes building some new houses, which I think we all just need to accept ED needs! Also, if you'd have asked the transport rep there he would have told you the existing entrance to Abbostwood Road would remain but re-modelled (in a similar way to traffic calming solutions seen in South Kensington) where the greenspace and pavement naturally blend into the existing road to create a more attractive entrance. There would be then further access throughout the new build which would drive traffic to the football ground away from residents and put it somewhere more appropriate. There will also be a new 'loop road' created for access around the new area. It's also worth considering that these were just top line proposals to canvas local opinion, and then based on the comments (which really should be submitted to them, not debated on this forum!) they will restructure the plans, hence why there was little detail on specifics.

Meeting is between 10am and 3pm by the way at the clubs premises

Seeing as though Dulwich Hamlet Football Club have been their usual slack selves with regards to local community engagement I thought I'd make local residents aware that there is a planning application meeting this weekend which I found on another thread. Details are below - I'd strongly recommend anyone who lives nearby attends as the plans could obviously have a huge impact on the area. The first stage of consultation on a proposed development of the stadium and surrounding area will take place on Saturday 19th July Hadley Property Group have released the following information regarding the future of the club and stadium and the contents of the newsletter is below. All fans, along with the local community, are welcome to attend and add their comments. Welcome to our first community newsletter. As you may know Dulwich Hamlet FC has been in financial difficulties for a number of years. Hadley Property Group has recently acquired an interest in the site and Club and we have spent the past 6 months putting both its football and business operations on a more sustainable financial footing so that the Club has a future at Champion Hill. However as currently configured the facilities cannot continue to support the Club and a change in the layout and footprint of the buildings is needed. There is an opportunity to provide a new stadium and to invest in the open space located around the stadium. We have engaged the architects Farrells who are leaders in the field of masterplanning to work with all who have an interest in the area, including Club supporters, local residents and businesses, sports and recreation groups and Southwark Council. The first stage will be a consultation event to give everyone an opportunity to respond to our intial ideas for the future of the area based on the opportunities and constraints.This will take a place on Saturday 19th of July 2014 at Dulwich Hamlet Football Club. We hope that you are able to attend, but if this is not possible please feel free to contact us at [email protected]. Yours sincerely, Hadley Property Group

Yeah, I really wouldn't try the one on Dog Kennel Hill, it's awful. Mainly crap on sale, rude staff and obnoxious sellers. Avoid like the plague! Hear good things about the one in Pimlico

No, it's still awful. Just utter tat for sale, and the people that go aren't willing to pay much for anything. Two people last week had a huge stand up shouting match about how little to pay for goods. Your much better off at Biggin Hill.

Party tonight finally finished at 6:40am Sunday 1st April. I've just phoned the council on 0207 525 2000 and reported them on both noise pollution and licensing issues. I suggest you all do the same as if no one complains nothing will get done about it.
