IWAF - ah, I see. In that case I think the really unique thing about TLE is the views over much of it to central London or Kent (depending on which side of the hill you are). I believe, though may be mistaken, that TLERA was in fact formed to defend the area against the proposed development which is now the Wood Vale Estate. Originally those white tower blocks were meant to be much higher and would have significantly impacted these unique views, so in fighting for their reduction, TLERA did serve the community well.

However I think over the 51 year history, perhaps TLERA's remit has been lost, or misunderstood by those running the committee. As you say, everything can't stay the same ad infinitum, and change that reflects the community is definitely good.
