I've just read this thread for the first time. I think any successful business locating in HOP is good for the parade, which has been subject to a few vacant shops in recent years. As long as it's subject to suitable controls over hours of operation, appropriate advertising etc then I'd be pleased to welcome Dominos. I can understand why some people are concerned but I can't see that Lewisham Council will refuse the application simply because people think that HOP is too good for a fast food chain.
Cheeky, where you say "I'm just disappointed that anyone should make comments that go quite obviously against the general consensus of this thread" I find that a bit odd as I was under the impression that the ability for people to put different views across was entirely the purpose of a discussion forum.
