The unusual site banners are to bring attention to the fact that Labour activists in Bexley are manipulating Facebook Groups with fictional posters. They deny it, threaten police action for ‘harassing’ a fictitious character and then demonstrate their willingness to impersonate by creating a false Administrator account in my name. The banner on display is chosen randomly from a selection of three, with a fourth bearing the familiar Bexley Council is Bonkers logo.
3 February - Back to the drawing board
Mr. Singh’s investment
in his relationship with Bexley Council has not been working out too well over the past month or two.
On Heron Hill, the site of Ye Olde Leather Bottle, he has not satisfactorily
addressed the conditions imposed in October 2023. The plan was for a four storey care home.
Bexley Council appears to have had Health & Safety concerns for the construction
phase and given the history that is understandable especially when the planning officer refers
to the possibility of unexploded bombs. The Demolition and Construction Plan makes for an interesting read.
However the most interesting paragraph comes towards the end as it does here:
Bexley Council reminds the developer that the original permission expired on 14th October 2024.
At 240 Woolwich Road (24/02905/LDCP) Mr. S. has come a cropper too. A single
storey detached outbuilding in the back garden “would not have been lawful”
which implies that he built the thing first and asked later. On the other hand
the application form says construction hasn’t started yet. Among other things it is too high.
Exactly the same thing has happened next door at No. 238. (24/02900/LDCP.) Because of the height
issue it will require planning permission.
Note: The care home was originally approved (20/02852/FULM) on 14th October 2021
as recorded here the following day.
