That's the one that's going to look like this i think.
Scented community garden in Loughborough Junction is in full bloom – but the axe is looming

The Pastor gets to keep his church in that one. Despite it having been an unauthorised use.

Sureway International Ministries, the Higgs one, is a serious setup & definitely 100% legit. Finance Ministry

Did you maybe perceive a tiny note of sarcasm in my post & choice of link? I am sure you did, else my theory about teuchter being a not entirely convincing AI machine still stands.

That may be, but they don't/can't do this: Chancel repair liability - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Good to see that the Junction seems to be doing well:

I meant they were self funding - though I expect they have zero business rates so you could claim they were subsidised in that way.
How many flats are in there again? Please.

5 above the church building http://planning-docs.lambeth.gov.uk/AnitePublicDocs/00561391.pdf
and 124 on the main site of the industrial estate behind (of which 62 affordable) http://planning-docs.lambeth.gov.uk/AnitePublicDocs/00561392.pdf

here's a thing I made earlier ! (it's the three new developments that I know about that are coming soon to central LJ):

Place next to the mattress/carpet shop has permission for conversion to flats too I think.
And there's no planning application I know of yet but there's the hardess rd industrial estate (rumoured to have been bought by same develper as Higgs), and the scrap yard off Wellfit st adjacent, which are likely candidates. And the old VW repair place.

Well, maybe you've found a flaw in the 'evaporation theory'. It assumes zero spare road capacity. So what happens if there is a sudden need for extra capacity, for example if there is a large amount of building work in an area? I guess the whole area grinds to a halt.

It is going to be absolute hell here whilst all that construction is going on right on coldharbour lane.

But closing Hinton Road could happen by default?

I suppose that adds weight to the incompetence argument instead of the conspiracy argument. If Lambeth had been feeling really Machiavellian they could have let the building works achieve the same end result as the road closures (like they did with Lothian Road/Akerman Road and the Oval Quarter works) and avoided (some of) the flak for it that way.

It says that most roads in urban areas tend to fill up to a certain rate of traffic regardless of the absolute capacity.
With Loughborough Rd closed off, CHL will fill up to a certain rate of traffic.
With Loughborough Rd open, both CHL and Loughbrough Rd will fill up to a certain, similar rate of traffic.
In either scenario, a sudden increase in traffic demand will cause an issue.
Of course, you can argue that having both roads open would allow that sudden increase to be shared between them which is true. The greater the overall capacity of the road network, the less effect sudden increases will have. But following that logic could end up with us building that motorway through LJ that thankfully never happened, and more traffic generally which would mean even more pressure on smaller streets. So, a better solution surely is to try and be a bit clever about managing deliveries to big construction sites to reduce their impact. Consolidate deliveries, and avoid making them during rush hours, for example. This is why planning permissions for large sites require logistics plans for deliveries, and can set restrictions on delievery times etc.

Do you think there's one of them being worked on for the 3 imminent large construction projects starting soon on CHL?
