In answer to Roz's question about the view of the FH Society, the Forest Hill Society did not respond to this application. We could not see any valid grounds for objection to this application and felt the officers would be able to judge the situation fairly based on this. It is actually quite rare for the Society to write letters supporting an application (pools, park, gym, and post office conversion are the only situations that spring to mind) as the applicant can usually put the case for themselves.

I personally did respond in favour of the application as I have family living on the street and lived there for some years, so I felt I could reasonably comment on the application. I have also had the opportunity to visit the nursery and it feels like a wonderful environment for young children.
