Refusal of planning permission, St Francis Estate, Talbot Road "infill"

Recommended Posts

Background first: A wedge of real property to the west of the railway line between East Dulwich and North Dulwich, with access possible only through Talbot Road (at present), extending south behind the first few houses on the east side of Abbotswood Road -- all this is on the St Francis Estate, which is the little cul-de-sac settlement to the left and ahead as one drives into the Dog Kennel Hill superstore carpark -- has been the object of attempts at "development" on several occasions.


It is an odd little sliver of land that might work best as a bramble reserve. But, using shoehorns and Vaseline, something could of course be built on it. Discussion has centred on what sorts of constructions would not damage mature trees, overlook neighbouring houses, block light to those houses, evict bats, and so on.


A sports club was proposed; that was turned down. Most recently, to erect a set of houses has been put forward; that, too, has been turned down (http://planningonline.southwark.gov.uk, application 12/AP/2220).


This decision by Southwark Council can be appealed within six months, and may be.


Thanks extended to those readers who elected to comment on the most recent proposal.

The pendant or counterpart to "real" property is "personal" property. A parcel or tract of land, legally defined, and "improvements" made thereupon; counterpart / pendant, chattels, property susceptible of being transferred from place to place.


But you knew that.

    • https://www.lambeth.gov.uk/libraries-0/carnegie-library It's a nice little library and meeting place.  One of the Carnegie ones of course. Actually not so little, the actual building: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Carnegie_libraries_in_Europe#/media/File:Carnegie_Library_Herne_Hill.JPG I get books from there sometimes, and have been to an occasional talk.  Last week there was a foursome quietly playing ?bridge/whist there mid-morning. I'm afraid I don't know anything about the Hub project itself.  
    • Hi,  I’m wondering if anyone needs help with their dog during weekdays? I work part time as a nurse and so I’m free Mon, Wed, Thurs and Fri each week.  I have young children and we usually go for a walk in the afternoons, around 1pm. I’d be happy for a child friendly dog to tag along with our stroll if they’re home alone during the day. The kids would love it and it’ll break up the day for your pooch. I’d charge £12. I live opposite Goodrich Road Primary school, so if anyone is close by and would like some help, let me know.    My contact number is 07599352340. Hayley
    • I bloody hate "grab". It used to mean "snatch" (not in its ruder sense) as in snatch and grab, and now it's just used all the time instead of "get" or "collect". eg "I'll come and grab them later" or "can I grab a cup of tea?" Also "Up for grabs" GRRRR
