That's my intention davidl... my objection philosophy is as follows:

1. There is no justification for change of use (sufficient take-away provision already, loss of restaurant space in parade, traffic concerns due to road block on Grierson, opening hours)

2. If, despite those objections, the change of use is approved then conditions should be applied to ensure a very high quality design and to address the traffic and noise concerns on local residential streets.

Could everybody who has signed the petition please also email planning@lewisham.gov.uk quoting DC/11/78332/X with your specific reasons for objecting? Just saying you don't want Dominos in HOP will not help. I don't think we have any information that the petition carries weight in the planning process since it doesn't reference specific planning policy giving grounds for rejecting the application.
