Agree with Michael that designation of HOP as a neighbourhood local centre would be very helpful. As I understand it, there should be another consultation on Lewisham’s planning policies in the Development Management Local Plan shortly which would provide an opportunity to raise this with the Council.

I do worry that HOP gets overlooked. By the way, does anyone know the best way to contact the Forest Hill Society and HOPRA? I’ve emailed both about planning issues relating to HOP in recent weeks and heard nothing back.
