We are raising funds so we can pay for a planning and a heritage report to support and provide further evidence for the objections submitted by the local community.
These reports will be submitted to the planning officer and councillors at Lewisham.
Your support is vital to this next step towards saving Blackheath Village from this cynical development.

The cost for the planning report by DCC Town Planning is £1,500 + VAT so a total of £1,800. This has already been written (but not paid for!) You can read this below.
The heritage statement (by Heritage Unlimited) has not yet been written. We can still submit this to the council but time is running out.
The cost for this is £2,600 + VAT + £40 train fare for the site visit, so a total of £3,160. In their initial read of the application, they have noticed a number of shortcoming and due diligence failures on behalf of the developer so we feel this is going to be a critical report.
An additional goal is to get David Cranmer from DCC Planning to attend a formal meeting with the council. The cost for this would be £850 + VAT so a total of £1,020.
This puts the overall total at £5,980. Please help us help our community and get this funded!
