I have said before that I think one of the big four supermarkets in Honor Oak would be a good thing, but this application was not just about that. Having discussed this with others on the Forest Hill Society planning committee, I have written to the council in opposition to this planning application.

All of the concerns relate to the residential units above the shop and not to the change from three small shops to one large A1 retail unit, which we feel will have a generally positive impact on the local shopping area.

We have seen in other planning applications that reasonable objections will not stop a developer revising their plans and returning with a better solution and I hope that this occurs in this situation.
