yes, ladies clothes and accessories, and some 'acceptable gifts'.


as i said on the other thread, the really useful thing about this site is that it effectively extends the retail strip by a good hundred yards or so. if you look at that area there is nero cafe, ED Warehouse coming soon, big empty, allans flowers, more empty, then walk in offices.


sugar and ED Warehouse make it far more likely that the disused news agents at 2 and the big unit at 6 LL will be promoted and marketted as retail ventures, which, if the right businesses go in, will bee good for all of us.


Ultraconsultancy - back to the main task of saying sensible things about retail SME start ups!

The empty newsagents has planning in to become a denist over all floors - defintely a good additon to LL.


Location: 2 LORDSHIP LANE, LONDON, SE22 8HN

Proposal: Change of use from a single retail unit (Class A1) with residential accommodation to a dental surgery occupying all floors (Class D1). Erection of flat roof ground floor rear extension, first floor and second floor rear extension. Alterations to shop front and front elevation.

TJS - I've been keeping an eye on 2 LL for some time, and can add a wee bit. The planning app is in the name Nadjafi, who is a partner in Dulwich Dental further up LL at 68 IIRC. And the builders I spoke to recently said they were working for said dentist, so it looks like the work is under way. However, a conversion from A1 to D1 dental is not the easiest change of use, and might take a wee while. bottom line is, as I have said above, it will boost that end of LL but it is unlikely that there waill be a nett increase in dental favilities in LL if Dr Nadjafi simply moves. It will however open up the unit at 68 LL for letting. If I'm mistaken about any of this do feel free to contradict me.


Ultraconsultancy

Thanks for the update UC, I have notice planning has been started before on 2 LL, it never got completed, but the Consultation finished yesterday, so they should (he say carefully) have an answer soon - I can't see why they would not let it as the building is a mess....any ideas on 6 LL?

Some councils have a blanket policy [unstated in some cases] not to allow any retail to go to any other use. But in a case like this [i mean no 2 LL] the retail site has been unused, and the owners offer is to bring it back into use so long as he gets the changes he wants. As I've said elsewhere and often, it's a dark art.


IIRC no 6 has two slightly contradictory change of use applications in at the moment, both from its existing class D. I think these apps have been made by the owners, Parkhill, so that they can put the property on the market to let and attract that largest number of potential users for a broad spectrum of uses, with consents already in place. Which if one is a commercial freehold investor, is the right thing to do.


Again if anyone knows better please feel free to say so.

Interesting, tjs, I hadn't kept a close eye on this, but thought you'd said earlier consultation had closed. Which means I imagine it's simply waiting for a decision from planning dept case officer.


I'd rather see it go ahead, a dental surgery is way better than an empty shop by a mile, and if the freehold is in the private hands of said dentist then if the app fails his temptation would be to sell out; enter Parkhill [spine-chilling music].


Mr Allan's flowers is going to miss all that unused pavement space tho, i'll bet.


Ultraconsultancy

So, from the sounds of it, No 2 is trying to get a change of use from A to D (retail to Dentist) while no. 6 is being let to Jojo, (ie retail) who will have to request change of use from D to A. Now, that sounds REALLY sensible... glad that's what we pay our taxes for! Why couldn't they each have gone for the site with the right permissions to start with? Or is it a case with Jojo, as was with Caffe Nero that they'll just put it up and ride the planning storm afterwards...

"Sugar" looked all set to open when I went past today (other than having no prices in the window display!)- it looks the kind of shop you'd find in "The Glades" in Bromley, only not in the main part of the Mall but down that little "sidestreet" near Ottakar's. However, given that that short block has 2 empty shops and 3 estate agents I think it has to be an improvement to the area (even if one of the estate agents is famed for generously offering free 'Net access to customers/passers-by/mischief-makers....).


And White Stuff appears now to have both Christmas decorations and Pudsey Bear in the window....

    • The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you 
    • So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly. 
    • Eh? Straight ahead of what?  If you turn left at Goose Green, as you also posted above, you end up at the library. Then the Grove. Then, unless you turn right at the South Circular, you end up at Forest Hill!
    • yes I’ve spotted this too — it’s near me and I’m very intrigued to see what it’ll be 👀👀👀👀
