Still don't see much of an issue about the change of business use myself, tbh.

Depends on how many (most likely upmarket) restaurants you think a street needs, I guess.

Is this 400 - 402 CHL? If so, the application was refused by the PAC last Tuesday, despite officer recommendation.

Yes it is. You clearly weren't in the audience to savour one's denunciation of the present planning officers' misinterpretation of saved UDP policy 29!
Actually that didn't wash with the councillors at all - but the residents group had hammered away at the unproven track record of the ventilation system, which is why the matter was deferred from 31st March.
At this reconvened meeting the applicant had provided two expert witnesses on electrostatic fume extractors - and they made a classic mistake of lapsing into a sales spiel. The system worked fine they said, provided the filters were tested and serviced at least on a monthly basis.
Chair Diane Morris was hesitant - how could we impose a condition like that? she mused. How could we check the equipment was being serviced regularly?
It was all too much for Councillor Bernard Gentry, who felt he had no alternative but to move the application be refused. It seemed that chair Diane was relieved to whip the others into line - not least Councillor Marcia Cameron who declared she hadn't made up her mind, then voted with the rest.
So it was a unanimous refusal. But disappointingly for me, and no doubt editor and maybe yourself it seems amazing that neither planning officers, nor the committee are willing to invoke policy UDP29 which is designed to prevent over concentration of bars and restaurants, and to protect shops.
As I pointed out to the committee the Lambeth Local Plan (still in draft) contains a similar policy ED7 - covering changes of use in town centres. Doesn't seem like ED7 will be used very much.

I think it will be quite small space - the back of the ground floor is a studio flat I think. Another case of something the planners approved against local opposition.
In any case since George retired I have defected to Michael in Loughborough Road (opposite the former Loughbrough Hotel).
Price is £7 plus semi compulsory £1 tip - which includes eyebrow trimming.
I don't think Blue Peacock can compete with that - supposedly £25 for a gents trim in Atlantic Road. Bet eyebrows would be extra!

Eyebrow trimming?

The Blue Peacock had its launch party last night.
I know nothing of these things, but I'm guessing the prices are a lot higher than George's with Mens cut & finish: £35 and Restyle £40. Example ladies' prices: restyle £60, high/low lights full/balayage £112-£120, gloss £47-62

The show it's promoting makes it even more insensitive - http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/soundscapes?gclid=CO6RyfXC2sYCFZTItAoduCMPSQ perhaps tweet the National asking why they're doing it?

Presumably Network Rail sold a whole load of sites to an agency...who got the contract for the National Gallery poster distribution.

Banned if they're lucky. First there's the ritual humiliation. Then the normal humiliation. Then extra-strong cider. Then the banning.

does anyone know what happened to the mooted chucking out of the buses and the development of said space?
CH1

I bumped into some drivers and the manager of the depot in the Beehive a month or so ago.
The manager said that planning had rejected the proposal, and the bus operation was staying. Since there hasn't to my knowledge been a planning application out for formal consultation this presumably means that the proposals did not pass the planning pre-application process.
I will ask around of those who met with the site owner in case there is any further information.

No.
women pay loads of money for hair cuts.

I was quoting a mens cut price, we all know how much some women irrationally pay for a restyle that only lasts until they go to bed that night.
boohoo
No.
irrationally? Women are under more pressure than men to look good.
£35 for a men's cut is a lot - go find a cheap place and stop moaning.

Joking aside though, I have never really understood how some hairdressing 'legends' can charge ridiculous prices to do something that anyone with a pudding bowl and scissors can replicate, especially when after leaving the shop, wind and rain negates that work of art within seconds, male or female.

No.

I have very thick hair so if it cut short or a bob, they need to take out the weight. A good hairdresser will leave me with a haircut that grows out well and not turn me into a pudding bowl cut after one week.
(I don't like going to the hairdresser but I appreciate a good cut).

No.
Sandy had the right idea about taking out the weight of his hair.
he was a water spirit? And a cannibal? I think he is entitled to an odd haircut.

I've been going to a semi-decent (though not pretentious) hairdressers in Chelsea for years. Nowadays they charge £28 for a men's haircut, which is not cheap, but you do get your hair washed and get a lovely head massage with the conditioning.
More to the point the hairdresser will genuinely listen to you if you have any particular concerns or ideas about how you want your hair done, and will offer good advice.
For the last two times I wasn't swimming in money so I went to a popular barber in Brixton. Much cheaper of course but you do feel a speedy job is the driving concern and that the hairdresser would not be able/ willing to offer anything other than the 2-3 usual stock haircut styles.
boohoo
No.
My mum paid for me to have an expensive cut as a treat and the quality of service was excellent. Cut was good too though I wasn't asking for anything special.
