Done! Does anyone know why the 2 bed flat built in the garden next to The Step, which was successfully given a demolition order as planning permission was of granted for a residential flat, is still standing? I thought it should have been demolished by now!

I've been chasing this with the council, as the owners were supposed to comply in early November, but strangely, no response...

Thank you for bringing this to our attention Caroline. I have submitted my objection and was pleased to see that a number of others have already done the same.

I thought Myddleton Road was in a conservation area.

It is! A good point to make in your objection, should you choose to.

A tad confused ... there is a housing shortage in London, so we need to build houses and flats, not block them, don't we?

Hi Judith, you're right about the housing shortage but we need to build houses and flats of good quality with sufficient space and amenities for people to live in them. This application is to convert a tiny shop into a tiny studio in a street already overcrowded - for years there was no planning enforcement around here but now local people and the council are much more aware. Have a read of the BPCA's comments on the application for a better flavour of the objection.
