No N/A Lack of recognition that the development will impact areas outside Coulsdon and Croydon borough - I have searched the most recent Masterplan documents dated 5 February 2013 and 7 February 2013 and can find no reference to the village of Chipstead, the borough of Reigate and Banstead or the county of Surrey all of which abut the proposed development site. I find these omissions strange given that there is a whole section (2.9) devoted to the Green Belt and so am concerned that little or no consideration has been given to the impact of the development on Coulsdon's and Cane Hill's immediate The Masterplan area is defined and all within the Borough and all neghbouring 237.5 Phillip Barleggs Misc neighbours. authorities are consulted. No N/A I note that, within the Masterplan, is a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats). If this analysis is supposed to relate only to the reddevelopment project itself it appears to me that a number of the so called strengths are in fact simple observations ("Its location at the point where two valleys converge gives it a unique topography") or are unspecific as to where benefits manifest themselves ("Lots of potential development sites with Cane Hill providing a significant opportunity"). I would also point out that the strengths in the document despite their unspecific nature are still outnumbered by the Weaknesses stated. The Threats section references the concern that the scale of the development may harm Coulsdon. It would surely have been appropriate to include reference that the development is also like to have a simultaneous detrimental The SWOT analysis covers the whole masterplan area and not just the 237.6 Phillip Barleggs Misc SWOT impact on areas beyond Coulsdon. redevelopment project you refer to.

No N/A COULSDON DRAFT MASTERPLAN CONSULTATION LOG REF NAME THEME SECTION PAGE COMMENT RESPONSE CHANGE REQ DETAIL OF CHANGE My suggestions would be: improve the safety of vehicle access; improve the signage for The Lanes (possibly even giving them names); provide some interpretation boards re the history of the old green; possibly some CCTV to protect these boards, and any expected new enterprises, and generally increase confidence there. Encourage and allow private enterprise to add activity to the rear of premises - Frames Snooker already has an outdoor seating/smoking area. Perhaps a competition with a modest funded prize, or a sponsor's prize, for the best private enterprise proposal to draw footfall to The Lanes. I note The objective of improving the lanes is supported by the Masterplan and because of Lion Green Network of some of the rear elevations around the old green are very ugly, and the fragmented ownership of the area.

I have also held 15 street stalls on Saturday mornings on high streets around the constituency in the past 8 months and met with hundreds of local residents. The first item below is about the appalling service offered by Southern Rail. I am hosting a public meeting with them on 24 th May – please do come along if you can. Please also forward this email to any friends, family and neighbours who may be interested. Southern Rail Public Meeting Southern Rail has been one of the biggest issues facing our neighbourhood for some time. The constant delays have plighted commuters and leisure travellers alike. I have been complaining to Ministers, Southern and Network Rail and it is now time for residents to get a chance to hear from the train companies directly. To this end, I am hosting a public meeting on 24 th May at 7.30pm at Purley United Reform Church (in the hall). This is at 906 Brighton Road, Purley CR8 2LN, next to the hospital. There is no parking on site, so people driving are advised to use the multi-storey or the pay & display hospital car park.

  • Submission to the LGBCE: London Borough of Croydon by Chris Philp MP Member of Parliament for Croydon South Friday 28Th April 2017
    Submission to the LGBCE: London Borough of Croydon By Chris Philp MP Member of Parliament for Croydon South Friday 28th April 2017 I am responding to the LGBCE draft proposals for Warding patterns for the London Borough of Croydon published in 14th March 2017. I am writing in my capacity as Member of Parliament for Croydon South. In summary, I think that the LGBCE draft proposals do an excellent job of reflecting the natural communities of Croydon. The draft proposal also adhere strongly to the “Places” of Croydon, as defined by the Council themselves in a previous exercise. I would like to congratulate the LGBCE for the proposals that they have generated. Besides respecting the natural communities and “places” of Croydon, the proposals also respect hard boundaries (such as railway lines) where possible and minimise the splits to natural communities in the Borough. I would also like to emphasise the importance of maintaining Waddon as a three member Ward. It has been in this form since 1977, and has a community coherence as well as historical precedent to it. The more disadvantaged areas of the Waddon estate also benefit from the extra voice being part of a three member ward provides. Waddon as a three member ward is contained within string natural boundaries: the industrial areas to the north-west and west, and the town centre to the north-east. There are some minor modifications which would improve the LGBCE proposals even further, which I have summarised below: 1. Move some roads from Sanderstead to South Croydon The triangle of roads between Carlton Road, Selsdon Road and Essenden Road belong in the new South Croydon Ward not Sanderstead (as proposed).

  • Save Coulsdon Public Meeting Report
    CANE HILL (“CH”) AND LION GREEN ROAD (“LGR”) DEVELOPMENTS A REPORT OF THE MEETING HELD ON FRIDAY 4 APRIL 2014 AT COULSDON COMMUNITY CENTRE ORGANISED BY SAVE COULSDON.COM (AN ORGANISATION TOTALLY INDEPENDENT OF ANY POLITICAL PARTY OR OF ANY RESIDENTS’ ASSOCIATION) 735pm Richard Thurbon, opened the meeting, and introduced Peter Morgan to present the event. Peter is a traffic and parking expert, who is a Coulsdon resident and has monitored traffic and parking in the area for many years. Having ascertained that about one quarter of the 140 strong audience were not fully briefed on the developments Peter gave an overview with slides on the two developments, planning permission for which had been granted the previous evening (3 April), in spite of hundreds of objections and complaints. The CH Application was approved after 2 hours 20 minutes and LGR after 1 hour 15 minutes (effectively LBC granting themselves planning permission, as they own the site). Objectors were given a total of 6 minutes altogether per application to put their case, so naturally did not have sufficient time to explain their case. The slides presented at the meeting came from published sources and may be viewed here - http://pjm2.net/PUBLIC_MEETING-140404/ The meeting began by looking at the ASDA Beddington site, and then slides showing the layout of LGR, before moving on to Cane Hill A23 access. The main focus of the meeting was to look at the inevitable difficulties with traffic and parking as a result of these applications, and answer questions from the public on these schemes.

  • London Borough of Croydon Surface Water Management Plan
    SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN DRAIN LONDON LONDON BOROUGH OF CROYDON Executive Summary Executive Summary This document forms the Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) for the London Borough of Croydon which has been delivered as part of the Tier 2 package of works of the Drain London Project. This document is a plan which outlines the preferred surface water management strategy for London Borough of Croydon and includes consideration of flooding from sewers, drains, groundwater and runoff from land, ordinary watercourses and ditches that occurs as a result of heavy rainfall. The SWMP builds upon previous work undertaken with the Borough and has been undertaken following a four phase approach; Phase 1 – Preparation; Phase 2 – Risk Assessment; Phase 3 – Options; and Phase 4 – Implementation and Review. Phase 1 Preparation Phase 1 builds upon work formerly undertaken during Tier 1 of the Drain London Project (as well as the Phase 1 Scoping SWMP prepared in 2009) to collect and review surface water data from key stakeholders and build partnerships between stakeholders responsible for local flood risk management. As part of this work, London Borough of Croydon has continued to partner with the Environment Agency and have begun to establish a broader partnership with neighbouring London Boroughs in south west London in order for these local authorities to pool best practice and resources to enable each local authority to discharge their responsibilities as Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA) under the Flood and Water Management Act (FWMA) 2010. Phase 2 Risk Assessment As part of Phase 2 Risk Assessment, direct rainfall modelling has been undertaken across the entire Borough for five specified return periods.

  • Croydon London Borough
    Croydon London Borough Personal Details: Name: Maureen Levy E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: East Coulsdon Residents Association Comment text: Proposed Ward Boundaries London Borough of Croydon. I am the Secretary of East Coulsdon Residents Association. As such I am heavily involved in issues which affect the area, which includes the Coulsdon Town Centre which is currently in the Coulsdon West Ward and is the town centre for the whole of Coulsdon whether in East, West, Old Coulsdon or Hartley. We are situated on the periphery of the Borough and issues affecting the Town Centre affect us all. I have seen the initial proposal map and would suggest that it would be more sensible to combine Coulsdon East and Coulsdon West Wards into, perhaps Coulsdon Town Ward, preferably retaining 6 Councillors. The four Residents Associations within the Coulsdon ward are Coulsdon East, Coulsdon West, Old Coulsdon and Hartley and District and we have and do co-operate together over many of the issues which affect the whole of Coulsdon and, as such, are a community. I understand that the Boundary Commission do not wish to split communities and local social cohesion. We question your population predictions for the area due to the many housing developments which have and are to take place within the area bringing a larger population. We understand that allowances have been made for Croydon Town Centre which is under populated at the moment because the residential numbers in that area are still growing until all the office conversions and new development have been completed. Similarly you should make the same allowances for Coulsdon which, due to the very many developments means that the population of Coulsdon area will increase substantially.

  • A23 Coulsdon Bypass Speed Limit Change Consultation Report October 2014
    A23 Coulsdon bypass speed limit change Consultation Report October 2014 Contents 1 Introduction.......................................................................................... 2 2 The Consultation................................................................................. 3 3 Responses from members of the public.............................................. 4 4 Responses from stakeholders............................................................. 4 Appendix A – List of stakeholders consulted....................................... 5 Appendix B – Consultation material.................................................... 6 1 1. Introduction We recently invited the public and key stakeholders to comment on our proposals to change the speed limit on Farthing Way, Coulsdon bypass from 30 to 40mph. This report explains the background to our proposal; outlines the consultation undertaken and summarises the responses. The consultation was open for people to comment between 14 March to 4 April 2014. We proposed a change in the maximum speed limit on Farthing Way, Coulsdon by-pass, from 30 to 40mph. The existing 40 mph speed limit will be extended about 600 metres north to a point close to the footbridge across the A23. Raising the speed limit from 30 to 40 mph on this section of the bypass would provide better continuity and consistency. Typical existing traffic speeds are closer to 40 mph than 30 mph throughout Farthing Way. However, the collision record on the by-pass does not indicate a speed related road safety problem. 2 2.
