'SOUTHWARK P33'
OUR RIGHTS OVERLOOKED
As a business, we were let down by Regent Land and Developments, who were fully aware of Policy P33. We were evicted before our lease ended, but they failed to relocate us in a timely manner. Planning was REFUSED by Southwark Council in March 2023. If your a long standing business in Southwark, read it.
