As a Forest Hill resident who lives close to the Horniman, I will be supporting their application.

Forest Hill can be a tad dusty and the plans the Horniman has in place will inject some much needed life and vivacity in to the area.

A few gridlocked roads and the inability to park ones car a few times a year is hardly cause for concern. I should have thought that the Horniman was one of Forest Hill's finest assets and the more it's exploited for the economic and cultural good of the area the better.

Urinating in the streets is another matter of course, and this should be quite easily remedied by the provision of adequate facilities.

I do wish people would be a little more welcoming to plans that add a modicum of excitement to what would otherwise be a sleepy and unremarkable corner of South East London.

In the spirit of democracy, I would also urge members of this forum to write to Lewisham Council supporting the application if they're minded to do so.
