On Tuesday 1st March at 10am the independent Planning Inspector starts the appeal from developers to overturn Lambeth Council’s refusal of planning permission for the mega-scrapyard plans in Windsor Grove.
The Appeal will be online as a “Teams” meeting for about 5 days. To follow it live go to:
https://beta.lambeth.gov.uk/public-inquiry-land-windsor-grove/observing-taking-part-inquiry
There was a massive community campaign last summer opposing the plans and your local councillors will be speaking against the plans. A mega metal recycling centre to recycle 10% of the entire metal waste in London is not suitable for West Norwood. To build such a centre right next door to homes and a children’s play ground is unacceptable.
In this case Michael Gove, the Secretary of State, is to make the final decision on the appeal.
See our earlier posts:

Local Barclays bank customers received a letter today saying their branch will be closed on 21st June 2019. They are told to go to 136 Streatham High Road SW16 1BN instead.
Cllr Jane Pickard (pictured with the letter) said:
“Barclays is the last bank in West Norwood and a vital part of the mix of services in our main shopping street providing banking for local businesses and residents. The Barclays ATMs are always busy giving us access to cash 24/7. We cannot afford to let it close.”
Local Labour councillors have started a campaign to stop the closure. Sign the petition here.
And write to Barclays – their business case for the closure is set out here.
Local people were furious when West Norwood’s Nat West branch closed in October 2012 – the building eventually re-opened as Pedders Estate Agents.

Have a say on the future of the sports centre [http://www.better.org.uk/leisure/crystal-palace-national-sports-centre#/ ] in Crystal Palace Park. With the new Olympic sports facilities at Stratford the London Mayor is working on future plans for a smaller Sports Centre in Crystal Palace Park. Plans being considered include demolishing the indoor and outdoor athletics tracks and shifting the 25m learner pool to the diving pool. The 8-lane 50m pool will be retained and the main sports hall for up to 40 different sports. The future of more specialist facilties like squash courts and the sports physio clinics will depend on demand. There are proposals to build a new primary school by the athletics track and rebuild Capel Manor, the horticultural & animal husbandry college.
To find out more visit the exhibition in the foyer of the Sports Centre, Ledrington Rd SE19 2BB between Monday 13th October and Friday 31st October. To speak to people involved in the project come to the Sports Centre on Thursday 16th October 5pm to 6pm or on Saturday 18th October 9.30am to 5pm.
Deadline for comments extended to Sunday 16th November via this online survey: http://survey.euro.confirmit.com/wix/p1838870106.aspx
