They can't answer any of the arguments about child proverty, problem gambling and antisocial behaviour.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07914930883748622529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129884466436576116.post-35060647276485918052011-02-17T12:37:59.564+00:002011-02-17T12:37:59.564+00:00MT is correct, however many signatures on a petiti...MT is correct, however many signatures on a petition it will only count as one objection. Compared with other London High Streets, Deptford has few empty units showing that demand for A1 (retail) space is strong. The 1974 permission for A2 was conditional on the premises only being used as a building society - recent 'banking' use was simply a case of banks taking on the building society function - so the premises should now revert to retail use. We all want a vibrant shopping street and that, in planning terms, is the point to emphasize in individual objections to the change of condition.The Grim Reaperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369913438808659085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129884466436576116.post-7888225854492360612011-02-17T11:35:25.620+00:002011-02-17T11:35:25.620+00:00As far as I understand the petition accompanying a...As far as I understand the petition accompanying an objection still only counts as one objection even though it adds considerable weight to the strength of that objection. If you are willing and able it is very worthwhile writing in individually to <br />Russell Penn, Planning Service, Laurence House, 1 Catford Road SE6 4RU. <br />020 8314 8443 email:planning@lewisham.gov.uk (see above) . I will be doing so and encouraging asap as many others to do so - and for the following reasons - The High St is a CONSERVATION AREA and the council has itself DESIGNATED ITS SOUTH END AS A RETAIL ONLY AREA...plus of course all the earlier social impact objections made in the licensing stage . Tottenham WON THEIR CASE AGAINST A BETTING SHOP ON PLANNING AS CHANGE OF USE OF THE BUILDING BECAUSE OF ITS EFFECT ON THE RETAIL NATURE OF THEIR STREET..this is Deptford's Unique chance to grab with both hands. Defeating Betfred on the Halifax at Planning is possible..It is vital to object asap !MTnoreply@blogger.com
