So they do another retrospective planning application or are they required to put back as was and apply again fresh?

If the council ever enforced they would have to put it back. But as we all know Lambeth Council seldom uses enforcement.
The council normally negotiates - as they are now doing - in effect.

So they do another retrospective planning application or are they required to put back as was and apply again fresh?

Current situation is that they have to take down what's there. There's no appeal against Rush common refusal.

I did wonder why it was built so solidly for what was a temporary covid measure. Mind you, it looked like a right dump before,

Sad to say that I don't think the Ton of Brix has lived up to many of its promises. It really feels like a slab of Shoreditch or wherever transported onto Coldharbour Lane with very little interaction with locals - and their pavement hogging is pissing people off too.

Some really bad news for Albert regulars. From now on you can expect a return to random early closings, with some Fri/Sat nights now ending at midnight or earlier and some midweek nights finishing by 11pm.

And it fucking sucks.

Cocktails! That’s where the money is

I've lost count of the amount of places in the Villaaage/Market Row selling cocktails. And then there's that community space bouncer-patrolled big boozing area upstairs, Lost In Brixton.

If these karaoke nights keep getting busier we might have to switch to weekly instead of fortnightly!

Kaff used to do a great veggie dish (on a bun I think) but can’t remember what it was. Shame it’s gone.

Kaff was a real community place. Their cakes were made by an old lady across the road, their cocktails were extra-cheap and they put on some fantastic shows. And then their landlords got greedy.

Yes I do remember her bringing the cakes in.

I've never had coffee quite as good as the coffee served in Kaff- bloody wonderful....it was like a dose of speed.
Still chasing that 'high' and I think Cafe Max is nearest to it.
