Are you one of these high net worth people then? If so I am very grateful you have decided to move in with us lesser quality mortals and show us how life should be lived. From experience, you reap what you sow in life. If you want nice neighbours, its usually best to be nice yourself and make the first move. Once people decide you are a good egg, you will find that they are willing to help a friend in need. By the sounds of things you haven't got off to a good start here and you won't get much further if you equate 'quality' people with money and high value cars, or the Barclays Bankers of Canary Wharf, or continue to insult local people on this site.

We did have a wider variety of shops here around 20 years ago inc two delis however they moved to more lucrative locations. I'm not sure what should come first but think demand rather than supply will probably be the first in line. Also for the record, Forest Hill primary schools have a fantastic record of achievement in comparison with other parts of London and I understand that many are leaving private schools locally to come to these. Recession led no doubt but I am also aware that many children are leaving these schools not up the acceptable standard in many subjects.

I think a lot of us even those not directly involved are aware of the development proposals for Tewkesbury and the issues surrounding this.
I think we've also had to accept that the courts do not always operate on the basis of commonsense or indeed sound aesthetic judgement. Perhaps a more conciliatory approach to local neighbours may have given you a win- win situation- a home of your dreams and the nice neighbours which you seem to crave. As it stands, your victory appears to be a little hollow.
