11/AP/3301 new advertising hoardings on Peckham Rye

Hi local residents near Peckham Rye & Bellenden

We have just discovered a planning application for what looks like a very big advertising hoarding for Peckham Rye on the island in the middle of the road opposite Nigel Road where Rye Lane becomes Peckham Rye. The deadline for comments is 17 December, but we are told comments can still be made next week. But we have no time to lose to get comments in.

The application is to install for 5 years, ie until 2016, an “internally illuminated 6-Sheet Advertising Panel. The panel will display 3 x scrolling advertising posters on one side and a further advertising poster on its reverse side.” The size appears from the application to be about 9′ x 5′ (2.74m x 1.47m)

This seems a very big intrusion into that space on Peckham Rye. It is just where the crowded town centre gives way to the open space leading to Peckham Rye Common. A large sum of public money has just been spent removing horrible street furniture clutter which were eyesores. It seems very perverse to have another form of street clutter in big advertising panels imposed there in that space. But what do you think?

You can see the details on the Council planning application website.
