A further application has been lodged for 2 houses. Whilst the association agrees that this proposal is an improvement on the previous applications, it still has concerns, which are detailed in the attached objection letter.
Please sign the 20mph petition
The Association have organised a petition calling for the 20 mph zone along Honor Oak Road to be extended.
Valerie and Rowena from the Association have worked with councillors Philip Peake and Alex Feakes to call on over 400 houses in the area. So far we have 271 signatures supporting the petition.
Since presenting the petition, Cllr Peake has met with senior council officers to discuss the problems with traffic and parking along the stretch of Honor Oak Road from the junction with Horniman Drive to that with Forest Hill Road. A fuller account of this meeting and the work on this issue can be found here: http://bit.ly/fairlawn20
It is always helpful to gather more support for these proposals and we didn’t find everyone in when we called, so we have also set up an online petition:
If you have yet to sign the petition and would like to, please do so today.
51-53 Canonbie Road, 3rd Planning application submitted
As you may already be aware, a third planning application to demolish the single dwelling at 51-53 Canonbie Road in order to build a block of six flats has been submitted to Lewisham Planning. Local residents, and the Association, have objected to this application. View the full objection letter here. A shortened version of the Association’s objection letter is available below for you to make use of should you wish to do so.
Objection Letter for Residents
As mentioned in previous newsletter articles (when previous applications were submitted), the Association is concerned that should this application be successful then others may do the same.
