| I spoke to Marcia Gillings at Wandsworth planning who was very helpful. The decision to lease out this section of the park was taken a year ago by the council. The planning application is to establish if there is any planning reason to stop the owners of the adjacent property having direct access to the site if they were successful in acquiring the lease. The next step would be for the council to publicly advertise the lease so that anyone can bid on it. So you really could buy your own section of riverfront park - there's a story for a local newspaper! Meanwhile I've contacted Jo Shearer at the Recreation and Leisure department of the council to enquire what options exist to keep this pet of the park public, in particular for a community fruit & veg garden as this is something I'm involved in elsewhere in Putney. |
