Camberwell Green buildings

I learn from the Camberwell Quarterly that Southwark Council has rejected a renewed application to redevelop Butterfly Walk. It mentions the proposed facade on Denmark Hill.

Amen to that - by and large the buildings around Camberwell Green are elegant and harmonious (and we are so lucky). It is terribly important that very ordinary strip on the east side of Denmark Hill, if it is to be replaced, should be replaced with something better, something that reflects the existing fine buildings in the vicinity. As I recall, what was proposed was your usual tubes and glass Arizona shopping mall effect .
