Campaigning for a more sensitively designed, less dense development. Respect this environmentally important location, 1 of the highest points in London @ 367 ft

Lewisham's consultation closes tomorrow, 25 April 2023. Responses can be sent to [email protected].

Net loss of #greenspace for #Lewisham residents needs to be addressed. Still time to respond to @LewishamCouncil's Local Plan consultation https://t.co/OPesQqFJn9. Read more about our concerns here: https://t.co/AHopWlkXfr

Why couldn’t they design around it?

How many developers does it take to change a lightbulb? 🤔 @Lovell_UK @LewishamCouncil @cityoflondon Residents still in darkness, unsafe and down to poor planning. It's about motivation, not means!

The last remnants of Mais House will go shortly and the prominence of the site is clear, with unobstructed views across the North Downs.

[Paul Powlesland @paulpowlesland]

The recent spate of tree destruction has left people feeling justifiably angry. That anger is a manifestation of our love for nature, but we must not let it make us bitter. Let us transmute anger into action with this 🧵 of tree campaigns you can support & actions you can take…

[Friends Of Mais House 🍃💚🍃 @OfMais]

Once more @cityoflondon @LewishamCouncil and @Lovell_UK leave our estate without lighting. The disdain for residents is beyond doubt.

'The Council is committed to transparency' said @AmandadeRyk in public Qs, 18.1.23

Today, Information Commissioner’s Office has issued an enforcement notice to @LewishamCouncil for failing to respond to hundreds of overdue requests.

Each tree gone in a matter of minutes 😥. This was a playspace. Developers and council clueless about what quality housing means.

[Friends Of Mais House 🍃💚🍃 @OfMais]

THE TREES HAVE GONE.
A better solution was possible.
The Sydenham Hill carbuncle will breach London Plan standards in various ways. Low quality housing, crammed in to maximise units.

@PaulJMas @LewishamWatch @SydenhamSociety @Broc_Soc @BlackheathSoc Other boroughs make comments visible on their planning portal.

[Friends Of Mais House 🍃💚🍃 @OfMais]

@LewishamCouncil What about the huge carbon cost of demolition and the permanent loss of wildlife and mature trees in the borough? Lewisham cycling provision still appalling and unsafe roads choked with 4WDs. 🤫

[Friends Of Mais House 🍃💚🍃 @OfMais]

@Hawkins_Brown How about, are you working with integrity or just ticking boxes to push through a sub-standard design? The carbuncle on Sydenham Hill will not be forgotten as a HB conception.

[Friends Of Mais House 🍃💚🍃 @OfMais]

Alarming news for residents today, despite erroneous planning docs: 'demolition of Mais House, tree felling and facilitation pruning and bat relocation works will commence from tomorrow, Thursday 9 March.'

One for @SydenhamSociety, @Broc_Soc, @BlackheathSoc
Lewisham council raising bar for planning matters to go to committee from three objections to 10. Amenity societies lose ability to get issues raised at committee, now will depend on chairs of planning committees agreeing.

@WHHarding @SteviePenfold @WillPCooper Hi Billy we can resend previous emails. Thanks

[Friends Of Mais House 🍃💚🍃 @OfMais]

Despite demolition works at Mais House, the plum trees are coming into blossom and were full of blue tits today. There is no biodiversity net gain on this development and @LewishamCouncil, @Stantec, @Hawkins_Brown, @Lovell_UK & @cityoflondon know it. #se26 #ecocide #greenwashing

[Friends Of Mais House 🍃💚🍃 @OfMais]

@sophieannedavis @SakinaZS @BernardsPeter @RachelOnikosi @FHLabour @lewishamlabour hi Sophie, any news on the tree works at 36 Sydenham Hill please?

[Friends Of Mais House 🍃💚🍃 @OfMais]

Curious appearance of fake birds as we are now in nesting season and they try to deter birds from nesting in mature trees opposite Sydenham Hill woods. @WildLondon @wildlondon_SHW Chain saws to install bird and bat boxes, really? #se26 #ecocide Tree line should have been kept.
