Lewisham Council - they won't listen. Just look at their response to concern about the Adhesive Factory.

More rabbit hutch flats needed

Concern about the Adhesive Factory? Do you mean Adhesive Specialities? If so, local views were somewhat split about that - and the building didn't have enough architectural merit to save it. Having said that it is true that LB Lewisham don't set the highest standards when it comes to planning and as a result the area is packed with characterless blocks that we'll all be desperately keen to knock down in 50 years time.

I just don't get how people keep voting Bollocks back (sorry, my mother was a Bullock, that name is special to me and I can't bear using it for him).

The Council did what it could to save the Adhesive Specialities building: it locally-listed it, and extended the St. Mary's Conservation Area to include it. The planning application to demolish and build were twice rejected by the Council and once by the Government's Planning Inspectorate on appeal. The second appeal was allowed by another Planning Inspector. English Heritage refused to give the building national listing because it was not genuinely Art-Deco, but did not accept that the original villa was enclosed in the newer building.

Several people asking questions when I was there. The architect appears willing to give a presentation to The Ladywell Society when plans are a bit further forward. Hopefully LVIG and ARRA members will be able to join in as well. I'll keep you posted.
