Sydenham Town Forum

I REALLY HOPE THINGS GO AHEAD WITH THE PARK...I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THE PLANS.... THE EXTENT OF HOUSING IS GETTING COMPLETELY BLOWN OUT OFF PROPORTION. ENGLISH HERITAGE HAVE GIVEN THE PLANS GREAT REVIEWS AND THEY WERE THE ONES WHO LISTED THE PARKLAND IN THE FIRST PLACE. I HOPE THOSE CLOWNS A ...

i think it would be very handy having a mini waitrose or m&s near sydenham station...the new retail space behind the greyhound would be a good suggestion if its going to be big enough. I used to use the m&s at london bridge on the way home for food and bottle of vino but now that i use the east ...

i hope the descision gets approved. i believe one options was the creation of Trust, separate from the LDA who would decide park policy and oversee a management team to run the park. Some areas of the park are listed by english heritage like the terraces i am sure bromley is not allowed to let them ...

i went to the exhibition and found it very informative. also very good to see progress on the station approach. As a suggestion can the exhibition advertise a link to the online petition. not sure how many people use the sydenham town forum...maybe a couple thousand leaflets in letterboxes will get ...

the mosaic is a crap dated idea. it wont help bring in the trendy shops, bars, restaurants and deli's that everyone on this forum keeps begging for because it makes us look like a bunch of backward idiots. if the mosaic goes up i will be the first to throw my doner kebab at it....... or at the next ...

THE MURALS ARE TIRED, DATED A WASTE OF MONEY AND COMPLETLY INAPPROPRIATE . I AM SO ANNOYED THAT WE CAN PI$$ MONEY AGAINST THE WALL....LITERALLY. THE EXAMPLES ON THE WEBSITE ARE HORRID. I THINK WE NEED TO SET UP SOME SORT OF DESIGN BOARD TO PREVENT THIS KIND OF SHITE HAPPENING AGAIN SPEND THE MONEY ...

i havent seen the mosaic but i would prefer the £10000 be spent on freshening up the outside with new paint, signage and some coloured blinds or glazing as per leenewhams 'what if series'. i think we need to be very careful with mosaics and public art. the tempory art work to the hoardings are great. ...

why did these idiots need to destroy such a gem of a shop...couldnt they pick another cr*p empty shop down the road...what was the point .... i almost lost my breakfast looking at it this morning... what a bunch of tw*ts

surely there must be some way to block the flats on such a prominent gateway site ever being used as housing association rentals...

Drawing a line in the sky on the previously posted spring hill photo i cant see what the fuss is about. The residents at peakhill should have realised that a vacant site would have been built on to the height of adjacent buildings at some point . the developers have made enough compromises and i ...

i fully agree with all of the above and i live in crystal palace park road what gets me is they act like they the voice of the masses and after they lose they try kick up a stink with one of there press cronies why doesnt someone start a petition titled: WE LIKE THE MASTERPLAN AND THINK THE CPCA ARE ...

i live in crystal palace park road and i am very happy with the lda's plans. i am also an architect so i can read the plans well enough and believe it to be a very fair and balance masterplan. We end up with more parkland then we started off with anyway. I think the area along the park edge will ...

i do like the overall masterplan for the site and how they have opened up the site at street level...it makes a positive contribution to the sydenham gateway. well done guys. however the new-build apartments definately needs some work. the trees on the roof are an attempt to 'green' the scheme...i ...

catsarse... you seem to be missing the point it could be a glass of dessert wine, liquer coffee or a single malt after dinner....or it could be an aperitief before dinner... maybe a sherry or a martini. i do love the wine.... but if i went to belgo's for dinner i wouldnt necessary order a bottle of ...

....it was about to have it 6th attack if they didnt sort that place out.
hope they are opening it up with a modern and inviting frontage.

if a decent place opens up in sydenham i will support it and invite my friends around instead of blowing my cash and theirs in crystal palace/ balham/ clapham or dulwich. venues feed off each other....if someone goes to a restuarant they may pop in to the dolpin for a drink afterwards. the high ...

cathy the old hsbc has a nice outdoor area to the side and i think this unit may work best as an independant brasserie or maybe a chain like pizza express or sea cow etc ...something i feel the high street desperately needs. its a great opportunity to add a bit of alfresco dining and add a bit of ...

i found this example of a raised planted plinth surrounded by tar that i feel could be adapted to our 6-8 m roundabout. http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e24/smokeit1976/1.jpg the plinth can be of the same paving planned for use on the pavements...i think it was a light coloured concrete paving ...

sorry dude i am permanently on caps lock

i would be happy to put in a weekend of work and some squids. it should however be a well thought out idea and contempory design

i SEEM TO HAVE NOTICED A FEW HUNDRED GREEN ROUNDABOUTS ON MY DRIVE INTO WORK. THAT EXCUSE IS A B.S. I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT ROUNDABOUT WHICH IS 6-8 METRE IN DIAMETER GETS PLANTED TO SOFTEN THIS AREA. THE BUILDING WITH RING ROSES AND THE YELLOW AND BLUE ESTATE AGENCY ARE VERY UNINSPIRING TO SAY ...
