There's loads of money wandering down from the Village these days, so this strip can serve as a handy extension for those people.
Coldharbour Lane redevelopment

- Start date
Just had to wait for this chimney to be accepted - http://planning.lambeth.gov.uk/onli...ils.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=NFNJ5UBO67000

Curious little proposal to demolish rear of Brixton Cake Shop and the old William Hill (currently vacant) in order to build a two bedroom house fronting onto Gresham Road.
A far as I can see the new house would have all the charm of a concrete skiing chalet - but then the existing out buildings are no better.

I don't think the existence of a new development or not will have much impact on the behaviour of people who dump rubbish in the streets.

Always difficult to know what to do when a house is right on the pavement.
Handy for church anyway - if the new occupants like Strict Baptist.

Anyone remember the proposed 3 tower blocks to be built behind the shopping terrace from the Angell - Brixton Cake Shop opposite the barrier block?
Seems like Taylor Wimpey are now in the driving seat.
Taylor Wimpey are pleased to advise that we completed the acquisition of land at 86-88 Gresham Road, Brixton in July 2015. We believe the acquisition offers an exciting opportunity to work with local residents and stakeholders to regenerate a brown field site and deliver a mixed use scheme, providing new commercial floorspace and high quality new homes, including provision for affordable housing.
We will shortly be sending invites to our public exhibition, which will be held on the 2nd and 3rd November between 3pm and 8pm at Brixton East on Gresham Road.
Not sure if the design remains the same - but in 2 weeks time we will know, and get the chance to comment.

Oh shit. Where did you read that?

The picture come from the architects of the previous site owner when they were doing their pre application consultations. As far as I know they did not actually put in the planning application.

Someone has put up some lamp post laminated spoof adverts for the Taylor Wimpey consultation 2/3 November at Brixton East. Trying to get a copy - but it's A3 - a bit big to scan.
Was wondering what Doug Black Lambeth's Conservation Officer will be saying in the eventual planning report. He objected to the pizza place in the Angel pub having a flue visible from the Overground train line. This contribute to the application failing first time round.
Hope Doug will be as helpful on this rather more important scheme (in terms of its potentially adverse impact on the whole area).

I suspect that if it goes ahead it will kill off the busy late nights at the Majestic Restaurant.

I'm sure he is - and he looks to me like a hipster. But then one of my doctors looks to me like a hipster - or the proprietor of the Evening Standard.
I know appearances can be deceptive. For example to me you don't look like a hipster.
Confused of SW9.
Seriously Doug Black is highly intelligent - but knows when he needs to sit on a fence. e.g. at the recent BRUG meeting about the listability of the Brixton Rec.

I went along to the exhibition yesterday. Here's my thoughts:
Three private blocks proposed for Coldharbour Lane/Gresham Road – up to 8 storeys high with gated access

I'd love to see some 3D renders of these properties from less 'curated' angles - like street level at Valentia Place, a *standing up* view from the Southwyck House green (and maybe from the upper floors of the block) and the view from the back of the Coldharbour Lane properties who will have this thing right at the back of them. I can't imagine they're going to be too pleased with 8 stories rising up in their back gardens.
Anyone have the tech to do rough renders? Crispy ?

That lovely looking pedestrian shopping boulevard isn't actually public space though, with the gates sealing it off at a time that suits the owners.

OK. I just think it would be good to somehow let the people living in Coldharbour Lane know what's coming their way because their selective mock ups don't show any relevant information at all. But then I figure that was intentional.

Wow, what were the Section 104 (or any equivalent) terms if any?

Too late (for me) to check the report that was approved.
The only thing I can see is a condition forbidding the business units to operate on Sundays.

As you will know the minimum size of development requiring social housing was 10 units under "old" Lambeth policies.Has Lexadon provided any social/affordable housing/rental properties in Brixton, ever?
I'm had quite a few stories sent to me recently regarding their owner.
AFAIK the first time this issue actually arose was when he purchase what is now called "The Viaduct" out if receivership and finished it off.
No doubt Lambeth was at the time terrified of having a partially completed white elephant in central Brixton they rowed back on their planning conditions - it being an exceptional case.
By the time he did the Angell Pub (22 units I think) - Lambeth had become so flexi to everyone it would hjave been a doddle to put the case that affordable housing was unaffordable for the developer.
Seems to me you are conflating two issues here:
1. Mark 10 v 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
2. the way planning rules concerning housing developments have been relaxed since the Thatcher government signalled the demise of state intervention in housing provision
