21-23 Parkhouse Street - FOBP response to Planning Application 19/AP/0469 FOBP object to 21-23 Parkhouse Street on the following grounds: - The height of the building is not appropriate it is not in line with current policy and is not appropriate for the character and townscape next to Burgess Park. - The design does not take into account and give sufficient weight to the planning policies on environment and wildlife - The design does not consider the adverse effect of the development on Burgess Park and the likely significant effect of the loss of sunshine and impact of shade. - Does not mitigate the effect and put in place environmentally friendly design such as e lighting, bat, bird nesting sites, green roofs, green walls or other green/environmentally friendly design features - The design does not consider the impact on the park users and the wider impact on local people’s health and well-being and the need for quality green spaces for the additional people and young people who will reply on Burgess Park for play and public amenity space and green space. - The tall buildings along the edge of the Burgess Park does not meet the character and context of the area. - Provision of playspace is inadequate 1. Negative effects on Burgess Park Visual impact – the 10 storey development is overbearing on the park, it rises above the treeline and is over-bearing and out of scale to the height of dwellings in the immediate area. FOBP disagree with the design and impact statement (5.47) that the view of the 10 storey block is barely noticeable.

Parks, People and Nature
Parks, People and Nature A guide to enhancing natural habitats in London’s parks and green spaces in a changing climate Natural England works for people, places and nature to conserve and enhance biodiversity, landscapes and wildlife in rural, urban, coastal and marine areas. We conserve and enhance the natural environment for its intrinsic value, iithe wellbeing and enjoyment of people, and the economic prosperity it brings. Parks, People and Nature A guide to enhancing natural habitats in London’s parks and green spaces in a changing climate Introduction My vision for London is of a green city, and a fair city, where everyone has access to a high quality green space in which wildlife can be encountered close to where they live and work. London has some of the Ýnest parks of any capital city in the world. Yet it also has some areas lacking in green space, and many more where the quality of the green spaces could be better. This booklet provides a valuable practical guide on how to improve access to nature in parks and green spaces, complimenting my London Plan Implementation Report on Improving LondonersÔ access to nature. Appropriate design and management of our parks and green spaces will be one of the key challenges that will enable the City to adapt to climate change. Park managers need to be working now to plant the trees that will provide shade for a much warmer city in the 2080s. We also need to start thinking now how our parks can help in addressing broader environmental challenges such as Þood risk management.

One Way Tram in Town Centre?
8 Issue 4: December 2007 One way tram in town centre? The TfL (Transport for London) consultation last year, on possible tram routes, confirmed that there could be great difficulties in accommodating the tram on the roads and through the town square in the crowded Peckham town centre. To deal with some of these problems Peckham Vision has suggested a one-way tram loop right around the town centre. The map shows a tram route entering the town centre along the TfL proposed route but only one way single track from Kelly Avenue, along Jocelyn St, then through the town square behind the Library, across Peckham Hill St, behind the Post Office, to Morrison’s car park; then south along Clayton Rd and Consort Rd to Heaton Rd; back along Rye Lane stopping right outside Peckham Rye station; and then out of the town centre via the One-way tram loop around Peckham town centre High Street and rejoining the double track tram near Kelly Avenue, or Southampton Way. Still a Cross-River Tram? Is it feasible? A one way system seems to work well in Croydon town centre. A single track would be much less disruptive than a Because of opposition to the tram from double track. It would be less intrusive in the narrow residential Camden Council, London Mayor, Ken Livingstone, said that the first phase of the streets, in the town square behind the Library, and across the main roads, and along Rye Lane and the High Street, than a two-way tram would be only in South London and end double track tram.

Habitats include roughland, SINC informally managed grassland, small areas of scrub and young woodland. Dickens Square Park 0.5km North An informal little open space, not far from (Rockingham Park) SINC Elephant and Castle. The edges of the park have (SLI) been allowed to evolve into woodland. Rough grassland and tall herbs provide further habitat. A number of very uncommon bird species for central London have been recorded such as blackcap and green woodpecker. Tabard Gardens SINC 0.65km North A welcome open space in a heavily built up area. (SLI) Its main nature conservation interest lies in the dense thicket of native shrubs in the centre of the park. This is the best place to look for birds, such as great tit, robin and blackbird. The park also features two raised banks which have been sown with wildflowers; salad burnet, agrimony (Agrimonia eupatoria), common knapweed (Centaurea nigra), and wild carrot (Daucus carota) are all thriving here, together with the prickly flower heads of wild teasel (Dipsacus follonum).

Parks User Survey
RESPONSE TO THE 2020 PARKS USER SURVEY March 2021 Lambeth Council 1 Parks: User Satisfaction Survey 2020 Response to Comments Because of Covid-19 restrictions it was not felt appropriate to carry out face-to-face surveys for 2020. Instead the survey was put online and publicised as widely as possible. The survey ran between 24 August and 2 November 2020, with 1,120 surveys completed, covering 45 parks and open spaces. This represents well over half of all the sites Lambeth manages. The survey report is available online at: https://www.lambeth.gov.uk/leisure-parks-and-libraries/parks. Overall, 90% of respondents said that they were satisfied with Lambeth’s parks. Feedback from users constitutes vital information to help ensure we are providing a good quality service and meeting the needs of residents. This report provides a response to the user feedback given, with a focus on the answers given to the question of what we can do better. The first section addresses the core areas which users were asked to assess and details what action, if any, we are planning to take for those sites where more than 10 per cent of respondents gave a grading of Poor or Very Poor. To avoid skewed data from low sample sizes we have excluded sites with less than 10 responses. The second section lists all of the additional comments provided through the survey, by park; as well as a response which attempts to address the main themes. S106 refers to money secured from developers after planning permission is granted, as a contribution to local infrastructure 2 Horticulture: quality of trees, plants and grass (89% satisfaction) 68% of respondents (1,106 responses) classed horticulture as Excellent or Good, with 21% satisfied, 9% considering it to be Poor and 3% classing it as Very Poor.
