Under the planning regulations that are currently in place is "laundrette" the only allowable function or is this under an umbrella term that covers other service outlets too?

ie. What are the other options for this shop front without having to take on the wisdom of the planning department?

If FHSoc are going to go up against all potential investors apart from someone with lots of money who wants to spend a fortune on rebuilding a laundrette that is 3 mins from another laundrette. I think Forest Hill is destined to be grimy and shabby for some time.

I dont get the "groan the posh kids have moved into town" thing ... don't you want to live in nice place?? Does anyone get a kick out of filthy boarded up shop fronts?
