Taking time off watching the Clash on Youtube I thought that I'd stimulate some debate about residential and other developments. I've chipped in on other relevant threads in the past but think this needs its own. Hot topics at present include the pools, Forest Hill Centraal, and develpments in the posh estate. Not so long ago we were discussing stuff on Stansted Road.

Now does planning law and policy stiffle progress and competition or is it necessary to protect our urban environment. And if the latter why is SE23 such a hotch potch of developments or alternatively is this eclectic and interesting? Does the planning system favour developers? Is LBL protecting our interests? Does anyone have anything positive to say about them??

And if we do need intevention should this be up to the individual, groups, or representatives (eg TLRA and FHS, noting that both have been active on some of the bigger proposals but perhaps don't have the same level of activity as some other groups).

Finally if SE23 attracting a new type of resident, unable to afford to live in SE22 but seeing opportunity here, but wishing to build their own castle. And should we be bothered if that is their wish?

Natually I have strong views, and have taken these up with Uncle Jim and Auntie Hazel, but more of that at a later stage; it would be interesting to hear from others. Only one rule, don't wine on about property prices - that should be parked elsewhere on this site.
