There is a planning application for 6 Church Rise. Not sure if they plan to knock down and rebuild or dig out and extend.

The construction of a part one/part three storey block including basement at 6 Church Rise SE23, comprising 7 one bedroom, 1 two bedroom and 1, three bedroom self-contained flats, together with the provision of refuse/recycle stores, cycle stores and 3 off street parking spaces to the front.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?: planning@lewisham.gov.uk

There is nothing to knock down, number 6 was made unsafe by the last developers and demolished. That is why the plans show a vacant plot at the moment.

One interesting point is in this document.http://acolnet.lewisham.gov.uk/ACOLLATEDOCS/67878_1.pdf
Apparently this is now Forest Gate.

I am pleased to see the planned materials for the project though.
My big concern is the ground works, for anyone familiar with the site, it already puts my house at risk.

****** hell, it actually looks OK! I was expecting a bland modern design completely out of character with the neighbouring houses, but it seems they've made an attempt to replicate the original. I wonder if that was of their own volition or whether the planning department encouraged them to replace like with like.

By the way, the applicant's address is in Southfields SW18, which is where Earlsfield Estates (the now-defunct former developer) were also based. Coincidence?!

Cripes! Id be really worried I had a stake in this and Darren from the former Earlsfield Estates had anything to do with it.

Earlsfield Estates - you would be better off buying a property that has yet to be built in Dubai

Blushingsnail, I thought the same thing, I was shocked at how pleasing to the eye it appears. Let's see what becomes of it.
Still amused at the number of allocated parking paces against the number of bedrooms but hey.

As fir the developer, I also noticed this and wintered the same thing I imagine you all are too. Sadly not a lot that can be done about it. I know the ex partners of earls field were looking at a buy out of assets, but only time will tell when familiar faces appear again.

My main concern is not being evacuated again when they try and put that garden flat in. The one that was point blank refused last time due to the lay of the land etc.

Now begins a waiting game.

I have to agree that the proposed elevations look OK in isolation, but the drawings are careful not to show the proposal in the context of its neighbours. It's really quite a large increase in density when compared to the original plans

The only place that Mincove Global (the agent) appear on the internet is this planning application

Increase in density is no surprise really given the market.
The increase in properties within number 10 has had an impact, so having another on the other side should be "interesting" to say the least.

Have to see what happens I guess, as long as they get the ground works right, these days I have almost given up caring.

Any advice on this is welcomed....
While I don't object to the development proposed, I am worried about the stability of the land connecting the site to our house.

Who is the best person, body to approach about this? Last time I contacted planning I was told it was not a planning issue.

Had a brief but pleasing meeting with one of the owner/developers of the property yesterday. He confirms they are also the owners of 14 Waldram.

The plan for number 6 CR is to put sheet piling in to a depth of four metres to prevent any further land slip before work commences.

Very grateful for his time and look forward to many more improptu meetings to keep everything on an even keel. So far, I'm hopeful that there is a safe road ahead.

Wow, permission denied!
Was not expecting that to happen but can understand it.

Reasoning...

As I understand it, permission is still granted for the previous proposal. Hope something happens soon.
