The obvious weakness in your justification for supporting the objectors to the nursery, is that the TLERA should represent the interests of all members, not necessarily the minority that chooses to object. I don't presume to know the views of all of your membership - but presumably you have better information.

My view is that the approach of enacting arcane covenant restrictions on the use of property on the estate opens a pandora's box for all those that run businesses, or work, from home, and so is potentially against the interests of many members.

The argument that the nursery could set a precedent for all manner of undesirable businesses on the estate isn't supported by the fact that all planning applications are judged on their merits and are subject to Lewisham's policies.

I understand that there is a move to trigger a special general meeting about this - I look forward to this if only to understand the majority opinion in the membership.
