Last year, a fence was erected around land that had previously been wild on the corner of Dacres Road and Perry Vale. It was then gated, and concreted, and suddenly became a builder’s yard.
Several members who live in the area contacted us to see if we were aware of this, and what planning permission, if any, had been given. The Society liaised with local Perry Vale councillors (John Paschoud in particular, at the time) to report this to Lewisham Council.
Just recently, Perry Vale Councillor @Justin_CC has let us know that an Enforcement Notice has now been made and some major changes will be required.
However, we’ve also heard that the work may have affected the trees on the site that are subject to a Tree Protection Order, so if you do happen to spot any issues with the trees, please let the Council and the Society know.
