Lewisham Council's Sustainable Development Select Committee is due to carry out an in-depth review of Empty and Under-Used Properties in the borough, with a focus on identifying the extent of the problem, and looking at ways to reduce numbers.
They have asked ward councillors to list any problematic empty or under-used properties (either commercial or housing - this may also include lock-up garages) in their wards.
The aim is to highlight particularly problematic examples (e.g. concerning noise or nuisance issues; environmental concerns; longstanding under-use or emptiness, etc.).
I have few ideas on this, but any suggestions gratefully received.
