From looking at other posts you will not be surprised to know that BD has a few issues with Lewisham Planning Department. This cuts both ways in that there may be times when they are over-restrictive. Of course I don't have a planning or architectural background so one is at a disadvantage compared to a professional planning department. No doubt our paths will cross Roz.

And to get a sense of balance this is not NIMBYism - the majority of posts on planning issues appear to be genuine concerns. Yes two sides to every story and it is good to challenge our moral high ground!
