More about Beecholme


Beecholme is also the first postwar "mixed development" housing scheme in Hackney, with a mixture of houses and flats with the taller block having five storeys and containing one-bedroom and bedsit accommodation. It is featured in Volume 15 of Hackney History and was the site of Beecholme House, the family home of Maj. John André (d. 1780), who was executed as a British spy in the American War of Independence.

Meeting on the19th Jan 2010



(more photos below)

At the meeting
From right to left in the photo above:
Cllrs Deniz Oguzkanli, Linda Kelly and Ian Rathbone 
plus Fred Raphael from Highways and Ian Bailey from planning
with about 50(+) people attending.

The Hackney Society was represented by Tony Gillett with Julia Lafferty.

The developer was invited but didn't attend.

<>><< 

 Ian Bailey will accept further objections until the app is decided,
which may be anytime in the next few days up to early March.
So keep spreading the word and get those objections in now
 
If it goes to the planning committee it can not be dealt with before March.
Of course, the application (2009/2490) may not go to committee.

Objections sent in so far
There have been 70 letters sent in along with
(I'm not sure if that includes emails)
186 signatures on the electronic petition and
326 signatures on the written petition. 
 That is total of 582 objections to Jan 16 alone.
By now (March 2010) there should be over 1,000 objections in. 

I handed in a petition with 130 signatures myself s few weeks ago and I know of two other people who have also handed in petitions they've collected since Jan., with more still active.


 Thank you to everyone who'se sent an objection in

  and especially to Christine Williamson (vice-chair B&C TRA)
who collected the written petition
and who has done a lot of work behind the scenes.
