As mentioned earlier Lexadon had resubmitted a new planning application for the Diamond Hire site on Acre Lane. The previous application was refused for reasons below, so the developer took off one floor and added a round corner but its still way to big for the site and will dominate the area and surrounding properties. The old application had attracted 27 comments from locals, be great if this second application could get similar attention and hopefully refusal. Although I don't hold out much hope the planners really take public comments on board other than just acknowledging them. Think comments close on the 9th.

17/03846/FUL | Demolition of buildings and erection of a part 2, part 4 and part 5-storey building with basement level to provide 613sqm of office space (B1 Use Class), 22 self contained flats and 2 dwelling houses (C3 Use Class), together with provision of cycle and refuse storage, plus hard and soft landscaping with communal amenity space. | 41 - 45 Acre Lane London SW2 5TN

The proposed development by virtue of its excessive bulk and scale and its design, particularly at the
corner of Acre Lane and Baytree Road, would result in a building which would appear discordant and overly
dominant in relation to the prevailing local character, and create an inappropriate context that would not respect or
contribute to the intended future character of the area, contrary to policy Q7 (i) and (ii) of the Lambeth Local Plan

Fancy writing a piece for Buzz detailing your objections to the site and perhaps suggesting what form other objections should take?

So effectively Lambeth no longer have noise control? From what I remember when I had noisy neighbours, they had to witness the noise from inside the property of the person complaining to ensure it was of nuisance level before they could do anything. If they no longer attend any weekend or evening complaints how do they take action

The out of hours noise team is no longer available.

They don't take action. In central Brixton it means that one no longer has access to independent verification of a noise nuisance.

It's so out of order. Where I used to live we had a real problem with parties next door - we couldn't hear the Tv and the floor would shake. Admittedly we had to to stay up until 6 am (but couldn't sleep anyway) but they would come and monitor it and shut them down. This would be parties that I had already been to and politely asked to turn it down. These days we'd need several neighbours to complain with us over a period of time which is shit. Also wasting police time of people do need to complain

The police don't do anything either, your only option is to fill out an online form and either hope your neighbours do the same or ask them to.

Thankfully our party neighbours have just moved out.

This is what results when councils do nothing. Its funny how they mange to close a club down when new flats are put up not deal with some anti social cunt in a block of flats.

I know. I spent a night in Brixton nick after 6 months of hell living next door to someone who wasn't in their right mind and played Janet Jackson and Phil Collins full blast for 24 hrs a day. The police and noise people steered well clear because he had mental health issues (and was refusing his meds), the whole street was shit scared of this bloke as he was violent and abusive..... and one night I just lost it.

Things calmed down a bit after that. Amazing how similar the effects of a hammer had to his meds....

Noise can take the most civilised person over the edge. I've just moved to a new place and I'm realising how much I like not hearing other peoples TVs.
