Cut and pasted the url(s) into my browser in the end.
The East Greenwich plan is about what you'd expect isn't it? Do we think that this, coupled with other recent residential developments, will help Woolwich rd to come up a bit? I can't help notice how many empty shops there are, and the (frankly) downmarket aspect of many that are trading. The further east you go, the worse it seems to get, so hopefully this might help. Perhaps Gordon Ramsey will take over the Old Friends.....
Without seeing plans or anything, the Stockwell St development (if it goes ahead in the current climate) doesn't seem too bad - I mean John Humphries House isn't exactly an adornment to central Greenwich is it? I was particulary pleased that there are to be market stalls on the site, together with A1 and A3 units, which, this being central Greenwich, will be taken up (unlike many another mixed use developments where the ground floor units remain empty).
There was talk at one point of the whole site being taken over by Tesco, and this is certainly better than that.

Here's the link again. I am not having any trouble clicking to it - but there could be some weirdness going on.

If it still doesn't work, try going to the cabe website www.cabe.org.uk and navigating from the home page - or email me and I'll send you the link back.

Good luck...

Sorry - something's wrong with Blogger, I expect. Can't get either of the links to work (ie Heart of E Greenwich or Stockwell St) and I'd really like to read both. Anything you can do, Fanti?

I'll change it on the post too.

Something seems to have gone wrong with that link!...

Something seems to have gone wrong with that link! I tried to type it manually into my browser, but it still didn't work. Is there any chance of having another go at posting it as a link - I would really like to read the piece referred to. I tried to find it myself on Greenwich Council's website, but wasn't successful.
Thanks

Interesting to see CABE's sensible comments - no idea whether our enlightened council take any notice. Reading this post set me off and I found this http://www.greenwich.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/FEEC21D4-F78A-46AD-B9EF-777BA9758EB3/0/PlanningBoardDecisions26June2008.pdf
which is the consent for the Stockwell Street development (subject to mayoral sign off). So let's see whether it will happen - Liberty International plc (the parent of the developer) had some appalling financials last week...
