Urgent Write to:
planning@lewisham.gov.uk reference DC/10/7450/x Deadline 7th July 2010
to object to the demolition of Pendragon school in order to build another school ( for the same capacity of children as the school can already have on roll). Waste of millions of pounds ( order of over £20 million) as it will still leave the Borough short of buildings space for children to attend school. Nothing is wrong with the present school buildings if needed can be adapted for children on the severe ASD spectrum for less than one million pounds sterling.
The site would be over built, loss of outdoor space for children, style of proposed buildings not in keeping with the street scene of terraced houses. Loss of a percentage of light for many residents 9 although the assessor think a loss of 1-3% of light is OK!! Increase of parking as no parking will be available on site - not even for school minibuses when children are being delivered to and from school by Lewisham transport buses. etc...
