Proposed gym behind houses of Talbot Road and Abbotswood Road

[eastdulwichhenry]

Does anybody know the latest news on the proposed gym behind houses of Talbot Road and Abbotswood Road? About a year ago it was granted permission by the all knowing national planning inspectorate, but I'm not aware that any building work has started yet.

I thought they were trying to build houses / flats now.

And I thought that that attempt to build houses / flats had, in turn, been seen off. Maybe James Barber will know...?

Alex, maybe that's the reason, they got planning planning permission for a gym when they actually want to build houses. Strange (but good) that there's no movement on this, 2.5 years now down the line.

They are building 6/7 houses on this site. Planning was granted on appeal some time ago. At the moment they are negotiating access rights (the site is landlocked and they need to buy more land to access it.

I expect building to start sometime next year.

Hi Lily - Where did you get this information from?

[Lily]

I live in the street affected and so obviously have been interested in this development since the developer bought the land about 8yrs ago.

So do I Lily just wondered how you knew works are starting next year

[Lily]

I don't for sure but I have spoken to the developer who owns the land and that is what he is hoping for. If you wish to discuss further you could send me your phone number via private message and I'll call you.
