To avoid any confusion, as part of the planning application review, the local authority sent officers to the address to check the objectors claims of noise and traffic nuisance, and found both to be negligible (to paraphrase the full report which is on the Lewisham planning website).

This tallies with my experience of regularly walking past the address and not being aware of the presence of the nursery until this issue cropped up.

We are talking about pre-school toddlers...
