They've know exactly what has been going on around this site. They're the fuckers that granted such a long lease to this bunch of cowboys.
Huge billboard goes up on Coldharbour Lane without planning permission and car wash shenanigans

I wonder whether there are terms in the lease that they have broken, and could be evicted for.

Given the council's excessively casual response to the billboard (which replaced another illegal billboard that had been there for years) I'm not sure they give much of a fuck.

Their approach to everything is casual, except evictions and parking issues.

Well yes. They can certainly pull out all the stops when it comes to evictions.

Hardly getting over it.
Very likely to be illegal. For a start, it's on unremediated land that used to house a petrol station, so wouldn't meet the relevant standards for a hard-standing park-up. I also doubt it's licenced as a park-up, either.

Your concern for his welfare is touching.
What exactly are baby-eating-anarchist's requirements for an acceptable place to live in Brixton? You think it okay to squat in a council owned property, or commercial premises, but you don't approve of hard working people living in a trailer.
This thread stinks of hypocrisy. Shame on you.

Tell them you're considering using the space as a pop-up cocktail bar except the vehicles are in the way. They'll have them shifted in no time.

Given that I'm aware of the issues pursuant to living on land contaminated with hydrocarbons, my concern is genuine.
You realise that the "baby-eating anarchists" tag was one given to Urban75 by a tabloid journo, not an appelation that the site's members gave themselves, don't you?

I don't approve or disapprove, neither is implied in my point about the nature of the land he's parked on.
It only smells of hypocrisy because you've constructed an anile "argument" that attributes hypocrisy where none exists.
Try again, and this time please try harder, but without the self-righteous prattle, eh?

I think the land is probably OK. Didn't they dig the tanks out years ago - at the time that Ujima were negotiating to put housing on the site.Very likely to be illegal. For a start, it's on unremediated land that used to house a petrol station, so wouldn't meet the relevant standards for a hard-standing park-up. I also doubt it's licenced as a park-up, either.
The parking up is definitely not OK - previous planning permissions make that clear.
Actually I feel a planning application coming on. That might well explain the disappearance of the advertising hoardings and the (albeit slight) tidying up.
You can't tell me that a property company with directors based in Stanmore has a mission to provide a car-wash in Coldharbour Lane indefinitely - especially in this toppy property market.

Maybe our regeneration team are softening us up for some Genesis yuppy flats?
Brixton embraces community in new vision - see me and Gramsci on main Brixton thread.
If you recall 9 years back the bill-boards were removed as a result of a "peace treaty" between the land owner, Doug \Black the Lambeth planner and the Lambeth enforcement officer, whose names escapes me.

What would happen if someone pasted over the lot with something that said "Illegal Billboard erected".
I assume nobody could do anything to stop you even if it was done in broad daylight.

Have you reported it to the council?

I'd assume you would be at an elevated risk of getting your head kicked in, but maybe things have changed?
Back in the days when political flyposting was a thing my experience was that no one cared that much, even the cops if you were discrete, but fucking woe betide you if you pasted stuff over the commercial-illegal boys posters (usually music-related stuff). A not-at-all-friendly warning was usually fast arriving. They all seemed to overlap with door security at music venues, not easy-going types at all.

I finally have after going around in multiple loops from different email addresses/forms.
If anyone else wants to have a go, it's here: Report the breaking of planning rules (breach of planning control)

Well done, it's a massive pain in the arse but it prevents these boards becoming established by longevity and then getting retrospective planning permissions which is the general aim of the people who put them up, they can sell them on to Clear Channel or whoever for big money.

I didn't work my arse off to provide ad-free online environments for nearly thirty years to find shitty ads being shoved up outside my block!

I just had a search on these boards because I thought I'd posted about this before and it turns out I mis-remembered and had had a PM convo about it, anyway just for anyone's interest this is a letter I got way back in 2006 or close to that date from Lambeth Council - it does show that there is some point in reporting these things

Now we are no longer the 2nd most important member of the European Union - but in the queue to be the 52nd most important member of the United States, how about some cultural adjustment?
For your delectation here is an example from the West Coast. Seattle Landmarks Preservation Board have determined that the Pink Elephant neon advertising signs for a carwash chain will be listed. These signs were designed by Seattle's Queen of Neon, Beatrice Haverfield.

Do you know anyone with a chain saw? Is it criminal damage if its illegally erected?

I'm just hoping that the sun's beams will reflect off the Barrier Block and focus on the billboard and set the thing ablaze.

Good!
Though I was hoping for a more dramatic update.
