Lordship lane and it's shops are not even within the incoming cpz and there will still be free parking on lordship lane and most surrounding streets so how is it affected?

Lots of people complaining about Southwark's tactics but are you all also complaining to the council as I suggested earlier or are you just letting air escape as the fight dies in you (which is what the council hope will happen)


If you truly believe the consultations were biased towards the council then complain and get something on record about your perceived injustice which makes any later enquiry more likely to deliver results.

Many of us complained before they made the decision and they dismissed every complaint and objection out of hand and shut down all debate on the issue.


If they don't listen to residents as part of the consultations they are legally compelled to undertake, I have no faith whatsoever that they will bother to do so after the fact.

Complaining is the first step in the process and must be undertaken so that you can get a letter dismissing your claim which then supports a request to https://www.lgo.org.uk/ to review the councils decision.


Yes the previous objections have appeared to be ignored but this is an important step that is required first.


As to whom to complain to , I would suggest copy emails / letters to the following people

Leader of the council

Head of parking

Your local councillor


Sorry I don't have addresses for any of them but if anyone does then feel free to post them here.

    • Surprised at how many people take the 'oooh it's great it got approved, something is better than nothing' view. This is exactly Southwark council's approach, pandering to greedy developers for the absolute bare minimum of social and affordable housing. It's exactly why, under their leadership, only a fraction of social and affordable housing has been built in the borough - weirdly Mccash chose to highlight their own failures in his 'near unprecedented' (yet unbiased 😆) submission. All the objectors i have met support redevelopment, to benefit those in need of homes and the community - not change it forever. The council could and should be bolder, demand twice the social and affordable housing in these schemes, and not concede to 8 storeys of unneeded student bedsits. If it is a question of viability, publically disclose the business plan to prove how impossible it might be to turn a profit. Once the thing is built these sites can never be used for social or affordable housing. The council blows every opportunity, every time. Its pathetic. Developers admitted the scale was, in this instance, not required for viability. The student movements data seemed completely made up. The claim that 'students are taking up private rentals' was backed up with no data. There is empty student housing on denmark hill, needs to be fixed up but it's there already built. The council allows developers years to build cosy relationships with planners such that the final decision is a formality - substantiated objections are dismissed with wooly words and BS. Key meetings and consultations are scheduled deliberately to garner minimal engagement or objection. Local councillors, who we fund, ignore their constituents concerns. Those councillors that dare waiver in the predetermination are slapped down. Not very democratic. They've removed management and accountability by having no nomination agreement with any of the 'many london universities needing accommodation' - these direct lets MAKE MORE MONEY. A privately run firm will supposedly ensure everyone that those living there is actually a student and adheres to any conduct guidelines. There's no separation to residents - especially to ones on their own development. Could go on... We'll see how many of the 53 social/affordable units that we're all so happy to have approved actually get built. 
    • I am looking for 1 unit which is working for £50 cash. Thank you
