Rob, you took the words out of my mouth.
Sadly, from all the people consulted, Waldram Park Road got the go ahead, after receiving only 1 objection. So if the same is done for Church Rise, im sure it will get the go ahead.
Im annoyed that the same person for Lewisham who did the consultation on their behalf is not only still working for Lewisham, but also heading up this application too!
So as most of you know, if this gets the go ahead, I get the pleasure of living next door to this "thing" I cant wait to see the plans for it, but am sure it will be NOTHING like its surrounding buildings.
As for the parking. With the 5 flats they put in at #10 the parking is somewhat stretched already. Putting in god knows how many more people who drive at #6 is gonna make me feel a bit squeezed for parking to say the least.
The worst part of all this.... Having the carefree builders of Earlsfield working next door AGAIN for the next couple of years.
They work out of hours, they leave SO much mess, they damage property around them, block the drive and so on.... all that for another year or so.
AND the other concern.... The foundations of our house are currently being held up by the scaffolding and concrete in the basement of #6. However they plan to build in this now, which means digging it all out...
Like Rob, just speculating, but WHAT IF..... there was a problem removing the basement, and our foundations were seriously damaged. House condemned, land bought, and suddenly they own a row of 3 if they bought the land.
Even better.... if it damaged BOTH houses either side, then they would have a row of 4 houses which back onto........ 14 Waldram Park Road
Personally, im against them building something for so many people next door. Although credit where its due, the people in #10 seem just fine
