In the spirit of your question possibly, I recall when what is now "London Hotel" (former Temperance billiard hall in the Dogstar part of Coldharbour Lane) was up for planning permission the planning officers used to refer to it as "The Brothel".
However I expect 1990s planning officers had more time to joke. Now they are too busy churning out gentrification.

just noticed all the buses have goneUnsurprisingly, Lambeth are recommending this social housing-free, gated private development goes ahead:
8688 Gresham Road London SW9 7NP
Three private blocks proposed for Coldharbour Lane/Gresham Road – up to 8 storeys high with gated access
can't be long before some much needed affordable accommodation starts going up there

I'm pretty sure the developers said the coach company's tenancy expired in May when the plans were on public view at Brixton East prior to the planning application.just noticed all the buses have gone
So it just means they are running to schedule - but they did not give any further indication of timescale.
I think the new Mayor should try his hand at redefining affordable. Wasn't it Boris who single handedly decided that affordable meant 80% of full market rent/cost?

What caused that then? A function at Mama Dough?Yeah, sure. Just park all over the pavement in front of the Barrier Block. No problem. Everyone can just walk around, just so long as you've parked nice and close to where you want to be.

Almost a million less than the guide price though - that's got to hurt the seller

As far as I can see the division of the housing into 8 small studio flats on quite high rents is the only thing supporting the price.
The higher price means the property will be yielding 5.27% on the new price (instead of 5.66%)
Looks like the tenants may be in for a 10% rent rise to maintain the yield.
A good argument for rent controls - but as we know these are now ruled out by the new Mayor.

Hardly getting over it.
Can anyone possibly spot the difference in the original and the new brickwork that's been built on top of the flats along Coldharbour Lane by Loughborough Junction? Y
ou'll have to look really hard, now.

I think that might have been the drummers for the Windmill Parade.

The ones on the parade we good so this must have been a different lot. I went past now and thought about popping in but didn't fancy listening to any more drumming. I'll give them a go when there's some music playing.

They're extending the Shrub & Shutter upwards and opening up a terrace for more jolly al fresco cocktails.

Well spotted. Looks like a resurrection of a previous effort (now redrafted to ameliorate neighbours objections?)
Erection of wooden decking on flat roof over the ground floor.

Deadline runs out on Tuesday - and where was it advertised? The application was with the council from late May for heaven's sake.
I think this should be opposed on principle.

Was just getting down to writing an objection when much to my surprise found it had been turned down already (today):
Reasons for Refusal
1 The applicant has failed to provide satisfactory and accurate information to demonstrate that the proposed bin storage facilities would be sufficient to accommodate the levels of waste associated with this activity at this site as previously approved contrary to policies EN7, Q2 and Q12 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2015).
