Looking at Lewisham?s online list of planning applications I can see that the developer, having got permission for conversion into five flats, came back for a second bite and got a further permission for two in the basement. The Design and Access statement in the documents relating to the second permission can be seen at this link: http://acolnet.lewisham.gov.uk/LEWIS-XSL...mkey=50682 The developer supports his second application with the statement: ?Due to the size of the property ? we are proposing to add an additional two flats to the basement ?? as though he had not noticed the size of the property in the first place! In one sense it?s great that this whole enterprise has come crashing around his head, but his attempt to turn an elegant Victorian villa into a rabbit warren has led to blight for residents of Church Rise and the loss of a beautiful building.
