Sainsbury’s to occupy site of Carpetright at corner of Brixton Water Lane and Tulse Hill. Sainsbury’s have applied for a licence to sell alcohol from 6am to midnight, with 24 hrs/day opening. Planning application references are: 12/01714/RUS and 12/02499/FUL. No consultation was carried out for either application. Various residents have been in communication with council, Sainsbury’s, local shop-keepers and Carpetright. Questions about whether there was due notification and consultation, and whether there are any Rush Common implications are being raised. An inclusive meeting in March about the proposal has been suggested; Sainsbury’s are reported to be agreeable. The plan for that will be an agenda item for JAG meeting on 5th Feb. There is a public meeting to be held in St. Matthew’s Tenants Hall at 8pm on 6th Feb. Links to proposals: Application and Design and Access Statement
