A key player in the extreme densification strategy & destruction of biodiversity at Mais House is Stantec . Also submitted a planning application for listed building works with no comms, using covid as an excuse. #greenwashing #ecocide #ClimateEmergency stantec.com/uk/about/clima…

Please comment on to the National Planning Policy Framework Draft Consultation, deadline 2nd March. Lots of suggestions are here 👇communityplanningalliance.org/nppf-consultat… but include that the term 'brownfield land' is abused and used to describe housing estates on land of high value.

Residents in the dark once again! Incapable of lighting a footpath, but fine to build a 'quality' housing development?! What could go wrong. Lovell Lewisham Council City of London Etec Contract Services Ltd Stantec Hawkins\Brown

Continue with the tree felling that you do not have planning permission for? Proof that Lovell do not understand the law Lewisham Council Stantec. Not even paying lip service to biodiversity and planning regs Hawkins\Brown Morgan Sindall Group #se26

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.

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 Lewisham Council, Stantec, Hawkins\Brown, Lovell & City of London know it. #se26 #ecocide #greenwashing

One for Sydenham Society, Brockley Society, Blackheath Society 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.

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.' sydenhamhillproject.com/weekly-update/…

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.

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

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…

'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 Lewisham Council for failing to respond to hundreds of overdue requests. ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/…

Once more City of London Lewisham Council and Lovell leave our estate without lighting. The disdain for residents is beyond doubt.

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

How many developers does it take to change a lightbulb? 🤔 Lovell Lewisham Council City of London Residents still in darkness, unsafe and down to poor planning. It's about motivation, not means! sydenhamhillproject.com/weekly-update/…

Why couldn’t they design around it?
