But it's not permanent and at least the building's being used. I don't mind it - it's like a bit of the market that's creeped out onto Coldharbour Lane.

What thread? Was there a pic? I think this deserves its own thread anyway.
Have you no regard for the architecture, dear man? They've just drilled great big holes into the tiled frontage to slap on that carbuncle of an awning.

Do they realise Lobo means 'Wolf' in Spanish and Portuguese?

I pass by their often and didn't see anything and there was certainly nothing posted up on the front of the building where everyone could see it.

i walk past there all the time and i never noticed anything.
i guess at least the building's being used, but how can there be any money in another fish/meat shop in central brixton?
i feel sorry for the neighbours who will now have fishy flats.

Can they really have got planning permission to do this to such a fine old building?
Seems a bit fishy to me!

I'm not all that bothered by the awning (hopefully that neon red will fade with time) - but the placard/board above it is a shocker - it's not flush with the side of the building, the colour scheme's a dog's breakfast and the typography isn't up to much either.
Shame, as with more sympathetic colour scheme & type, even this awning & nameboard combo from hell could have been made victorianesque.

it wouldn't be the first time a shop has opened up and appeared to blatantly flout the plannning laws
also, im sure the previous occupier of this building ripped out the listed windows on the first floor of the living bar. he was ordered to put them back in but he never did. blatant vandalism

There's loads of places that still do pork - the big wholesaler (Dombeys?) in the covered market, the two latin american butchers and O Talho.
Honestly AJ, you really are a repetitive (and unobservant) berk. Your unbalanced obsession against halal meat is a little unpleasant tbh.

Yeah, Dombeys do pork for cheap. For what it matters.

I do think the main problem is that the sign doesn't match the awning, so it just looks uneven. If they'd levelled it up a bit then it would look a lot better. It just looks a bit messy.

According to the Lambeth planning database there has been no recent application for signage or anything else. The latest associated document is an enforcement notice dated 01/09/2006 detailing the illegal removal of the first floor windows and the illegal installation of air con units and flues.

Did you see one then?
I certainly didn't and I pass by there most days and would certainly have looked at such a notice.
So it looks like it has been slapped up without permission?
Sounds like a job for lang rabbie!

I guess it depends on whether you need planning permission for such work...
I'm no expert on this, but I would have thought you needed some sort of permission to put that stuff up.
