I’ve read through the Appeal Decision relating to the removal of the hoarding.
Whilst relieved by the decision, I’m in full agreement with those who now forward the debate to a Lewisham Planning decision on the proposed development of the site.
I wrote my objections to both the hoarding Appeal and the undecided site development proposal on the relevant grounds that the whole triangular site is subject to a legal agreement dating from 1968 signed between Lewisham Council and the private, advertising company owner of the site, which ensures that the whole site is kept open as a green space for everyone to enjoy.
I urge everyone to lodge an objection to the undecided planning proposal to repeat this by stating in their respective objection - “this development site is clearly protected by virtue of an ongoing, written agreement signed with London Borough of Lewisham dating from 1968 under which the whole, triangular site at the junction between Duncombe Green and Brockley Rise is deemed to be open to the public as green space and no legal termination/amendment of this agreement has been formalised to date.”
To all engaged, kindly act on this and also copy/paste it onto any other sites with my permission to increase the chance of thwarting the undecided planning proposal to build flats on our open, green space.
Out of interest, what is Lewisham’s official designation of this site?
If it isn’t an Urban Green Space or a Local Green Space is the agreement merely contractual between its signatories and their legal teams rather than a matter for a Planning Officer to adjudicate over?
If there is no designation, then surely Lewisham has failed in its democratic duty to ensure continuous use as some sort of protected public open space - or has there been some variation to the original agreement, verbally or otherwise, that hasn’t yet been made public?
The whole thing doesn’t seem to add up.
I followed the link and like magic it disappears!!
Shifty all round aright 
Anyhow…Please stop this silliness!!
For the many that care sure have had enough especially with the small lies, excuses and cover ups if that be it?? Just free this nature patch and local historical space because we all deserve to breath life not feel closed!!! 
Yay…let that green patch breath new life!! 
The fence may have gone but Investor Alliance are still being dicks. This was today. Nailing a plastic box that looks like a camera, but isn’t and signs all the way round the green. I doubt we have heard the last of them. Expect to see a chain link fence going up soon I bet😠
Does that camera really have a dangling cable that goes no where?!? Or is it just the picture?
That’s so wrong who do they think they are bleep bleep and bleep fuming!! How can this be stopped I hate people like that selfish people. I am angry like many of us whom don’t want this they haven’t won this fairly so why what and how ???
Can we knock that down?? Can we put a fence up ourselves why are the council letting this happen??
Oh I see reported elsewhere that this is a fake CCTV camera for £10 from Amazon, which comes with the signs. It may be the model with a solar panel on top to make a LED flash too.
It’s so absurd that it feels like some sort of Banksy installation. Has anyone checked there aren’t some stuffed rats having a tea-party in the middle of the green?
Not even a cable a hollow plastic tube
Are they seriously expecting people to observe the notices? Has to be a joke.
Drove past it today. Ridiculous. So tempted to take an electric saw to the lot of them.
Isn’t it ridiculous - Lewisham Planning has still not made a decision on the planning application [lodged in March 2019] to apply to build flats on part of the Duncombe Hill Green site.
It’s now 3rd November 2019.
As I discovered from a Freedom of Information application this summer - the whole, triangular site is subject to an ongoing, and non rescinded, legally binding contract signed between any ongoing, private owner of any part of the site and Lewisham Council dating from 1968.
Under this 1968 contract, all parties are legally bound to keep the whole, triangular site open as ‘green accessible space’ for all.
I forwarded this information to Lewisham planning in relation to the development application [as I did to the separate hoarding/fencing Appeal adjudicators].
I cannot comprehend any logical reason for the Lewisham Planning Department to refuse the planning application to build on the site in light of the 1968 Contract disclosed by London Borough of Lewisham itself.
Can you?
For clarification - I cannot comprehend any logical reason for the Lewisham Planning Department to ‘not’ refuse the planning application!
Thanks for ‘Forest Hull’ for pointing out to me the absence of one crucial word out of the many.
