Yesterday I received an email from the Dulwich Hamlet Supporters Trust urging every member to make a comment on the Southwark Council website supporting the proposal for a new ground adjacent to the present Champion Hill ground. Today (12 March 2020) is your final opportunity to make a comment of support.
If, like me, you have already commented, you have the opportunity to make a further comment. It will be a good idea that you do so, as the more support the club can get the greater our chances of obtaining the planning permission.
Below is the email from DHST explaining how you can make a comment.
Dear DHST member,
You are probably aware that the planning application for a new stadium at Champion Hill is expected to be determined at a meeting of Southwark Council’s planning committee on 22 April 2020. For more information, please click here.
Some changes have been made to the proposed scheme to incorporate feedback from stakeholders, and as a result the application is subject to a short re-consultation period during which public comments can be submitted.
If the application is rejected, the club will not be able to continue in its current form at the heart of its community so it is important that everyone’s voice is heard.
The consultation closes tomorrow, 12 March 2020. If you have not commented before, please take this opportunity to support the club at this crucial time. If you have already commented in support of the application, please do so again during this further consultation period to demonstrate your continuing support.
If, for any reason, you cannot submit comments within the above deadline, please submit them as soon as possible, as they can still be taken into account before the planning committee makes its decision.
PLEASE support the club, the community, and East Dulwich as a whole. To submit your comments, please take the following steps.

Please note the form has changed since the last consultation and if you are commenting to support the application you need to click on ‘Support’ in the ‘Stance’ field and also there is only one option in the ‘Reason for comment’ field which is ‘Reasons for Support’.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
