Planning permission?

Hi there
We live in a ground floor flat, share of freehold converted from a large Victorian mansion style house. Not in a conservation area.

There is a single garden door off the living room leading to our garden at the side of the building. The door is old and wooden and needs to be replaced ...

Re: Mentally unwell person on the streets

This lady would need to consent or be assessed as mentally incapable of you wanted to act in any way against her will. Ultimately if she is at risk of harm you would call 999 as an emergency service and only police have the power to compel people to do something without their consent

In terms of ...

Re: Moving to Sydenham/Please help with advice

We have lived in Sydenham in a block of flats the other side of Wells Park estate for over 10 years. Never had any problems with crime,, including car crime. And because social housing is so scarce most of our neighbours have lived here for 20 years.

The TNG youth club will sometimes attract ...

Re: Planning - CAB unit change of use to restaurant

Thanks for this

Am I right in thinking there will be 2 separate restaurants if agreed?

One in the old wedding shop and one in the CAB

I had just assumed the Nandos was going to take up both spaces.

I for one am excited by the re-use of an empty shop although saddened by the loss of a CAB - when ...

Re: Car Wing Mirror Theft

We had this a couple of years ago on our mazda bongo, parked in the car park behind our block of flats. It was just the glass on one side so figured it was stolen to order

Re: New comedy club

Welcome to Sydenham, looking forward to opening

I vaguely remember a comedy night in crystal palace and went to a few nights at the Hub in forest hill.

From my limited knowledge there seems to be a lot of comedians based in south London so can't wait to see newer comedians and acts

Re: The Journey Cafe

Stopped in Journeys Cafe on Saturday I really liked it, had a coffee and freshly made sandwich. Other half had a coffee and cake. I'll definitely go back, especially as the coffee is not that flowery stuff you get everywhere else. The bread in the sandwich was also yummy. The cake was nice, my ...

This evening I have also noted a helicopter circling the same area from about 7pm - 8.30pm.

Wondered if ...

Re: Mugging in Panmure Road

The criminal fraternity may well carry guns and knives - however I don't believe the majority of gun or knife crime is carried out on passers by (although I apologise if I'm wrong)

From the news reports I've read and seen it seems the individuals most at risk of being stabbed or shot and the ...

Photography Club

I was just wondering if there was one in the Sydenham vicinity? If not how many people would be interested?

The idea could be something along the lines of having a new topic every week, fortnight, month? and go out and take photographs and then meet up on a regular basis (possibly at a local ...

Re: Quick question - Wells Park Estate

Sometimes it's just luck - because you can't control who lives next door - has she not been allowed to go for a viewing - she might get a better idea if she can ask the neighbours.

Re: New bakery in Kirkdale

Recently had a slice of the chocolate tart from the new bakery - which was quite large and very yummy.

Today we tried some rye bread - which was very light and great with bacon this morning.

Apparently they only just opened last week so I think they are still testing the waters - apparently they ...

Re: Dartmouth Road?

Sorry to be pedantic :? but Gurhka's is more Nepalese than Indian - although I agree that it is very good.

There is a sister restaurant in Crystal Palace which is also good but the menu has less choice.
