monica Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I was chatting to a local resident the other day,and he told me that ken livingston wants to class East Dulwich an urban area.Now i know some differences between suburban and urban.However i also know that being classed an urban area is not a good thing because it means East Dulwich can be developed over and over again,well thats what i have been told.Can anyone clear this up for me.And do we want this for East Dulwich.Whats your opinion EDF.

Mark Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Andy Mayer's blog mentions it and tells of how Labour Minister Ruth Kelly has over-ruled a democratically agreed decision to keep the areas round here sub-urban. Any more information gratefully received... Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/262-are-we-urban-or-suburban/#findComment-4810 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ko Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I seem to remember that one of the biggest concerns about being classed urban is that taller buildings can go up. I think under suburban, the limit is 4 or 6 levels (but don't quote me!)

CrystalClear Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I get the feeling planning laws in general are more relaxed for urban areas. Didn't the Lib Dems run this in their election campaign in May? Nice to see the council can make a difference. It's sad really, especially when everone's spending so much money trying to figure out why nobody bothers to vote.....

Ant Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Vote?Ah yes, there's a word that takes me back. People used to queue to do it during elections; apparently they felt priviliged to be able to or summat. Heh! People in the past were stupid. Losers.

ratty Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 This one has been doing the rounds for a while now. The way I see it is that ED is a rare jewel in the crown of Southwark, which apart from here and the Village has very little to crow about.
