The planning application relates to proposals for a comprehensive redevelopment of the Site to provide a high quality mixed use scheme consisting of residential, office, retail, leisure and cultural land uses, and supported by new landscaping and public realm enhancements (‘the Development’). This CLP has been prepared in support of a planning application and prior to the appointment of a Principal Contractor. Accordingly, at the time of writing, it is not possible to provide detailed information relating to the number of construction vehicle movements expected to be associated with the development. Furthermore construction dates set out within this document are approximate. The Plan will therefore be revised upon receipt of any planning permission and the appointment of a Principal Contractor. It is expected that a Final CLP will form a Condition attached to any planning consent. This document should be read in conjunction with the Environmental Statement Chapter 5: Construction Programme and Environmental Management. 1.2 Purpose The primary aim of this, and indeed any final CLP, is to minimise the impact that construction activity might have on the public highway and amenity in the immediate vicinity of the development site. In order to achieve this aim, this report has taken into account guidance published by TfL relating to the production of CLPs entitled: “London Freight Plan”. The stated objective of that document is as follows: “…the safe, reliable and efficient movement of freight and servicing trips to, from, within and, where appropriate, through London to support London’s economy, in balance with the needs of other transport users, the environment and Londoners’ quality of life…” In order for the above vison to be achieved the London Freight Plan specifically requires the following requirements to be met, relevant to any construction activity: . A strategy leading to a reduction in the number of servicing and delivery trips associated with construction; . A plan showing when and where construction deliveries and servicing can take place safely and legally. This CLP has additionally been prepared with reference to Transport for London’s (TfL) publication, ‘Building a Better Future for Freight – Construction Logistics Plans’ as well as TfL’s ‘Transport Assessment Best Practice’ document (April 2010). TfL’s Transport Assessment Best Practice guidance states the following with respect to construction activity: 10 December 2015 CLP INFRAPB3730-101- 1 100R004D01 O p e n “The construction phase of any development will have impacts on the transport network. The construction impacts of developments can vary in significance, but for those large developments that may take many months or years to construct; the construction phase can be as significant as the operational phase.” “It is imperative that road safety measures are considered at the application stage and preventive measures delivered through the construction and operational phases of the development. TfL strongly encourages the use of contractors who are accredited through the FORS system and meet the vehicle and driver standards set out in Annex A of the CLP guidance for developers.” TfL’s Transport Assessment Best Practice guidance refers to the requirement for a CLP and states the following: “A draft CLP is recommended at the application stage, considering access routes and whether changes to the highway will be necessary to facilitate construction. This should be discussed with TfL at the earliest possible stage and refined through the application process. Normally a full CLP is expected to be secured by condition and discharged in consultation with TfL on major schemes or where the development is on the TLRN or SRN.” “The CLP will provide the framework for understanding and managing construction vehicle activity into and out of proposed developments. A full assessment of the construction phase should be included, detailing the levels of construction traffic generated along with the routes the traffic will use and any significant traffic management that may operate in order to construct the development. Particular attention should be paid to the need to identify routes for construction vehicles that avoid sensitive routes.” TfL’s document Building a Better Future for Freight – Construction Logistics Plans, states that: “A CLP will improve the safety, efficiency and reliability of deliveries to that location. It will also identify unnecessary journeys, and deliveries that could be made by more sustainable transport modes, to help reduce congestion and minimise the environmental impact of freight activity.” In line with the above guidance this report will consider vehicular movements and activity expected to be associated with the proposed construction works at the Site, including the following: . Expected construction vehicle types; . The expected volume and frequency of trips; . The initial programme of works; . The routeing of construction vehicles to/ from the site; . Loading/ unloading operations; . CLP measures which seek to minimise the impact of traffic associated with the construction activity; . ‘General’ management of the works including control of dust, noise and vibration. This report considers measures that will form part of the final CLP post-appointment of the Principal Contactor and provides a preliminary (high level) assessment of the number, classification and timeframe for construction vehicle movements associated with the proposed development. The Applicant recognises the requirement for the appointed contractor to make reference to best practice guidance. Consideration will as such be given to contractors who are accredited through the Freight 10 December 2015 CLP INFRAPB3730-101- 2 100R004D01 O p e n Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS), the Construction Logistics and Cyclist Safety (CLOCS) scheme and the Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS). 10 December 2015 CLP INFRAPB3730-101- 3 100R004D01 O p e n 2 Draft Construction Logistics Plan 2.1 Site Location The Site is located within the London Borough of Southwark (LBS). The Site is located at the junction of London Road and Newington Causeway, in a prominent position immediately north of the Elephant and Castle roundabout. The Site is bounded by Keyworth Street and Southwark Bridge Road to the north, Newington Causeway to the east, London Road and the Elephant and Castle Bakerloo Line Station to the south, and Ontario Street to the west, and is highlighted in red in the below map. Figure 2.1 Existing Buildings and Site Boundary 2.2 Local Highway Network The development site is located adjacent to Elephant and Castle, a major highway junction located on the southern boundary of London’s Congestion Charge Zone.

  • Twenty Reasons to Reject Delancey's
    TWENTY REASONS TO REJECT DELANCEY’S SHOPPING CENTRE PLANNING APPLICATION (Based on the attached planning committee report) 1 There will be very little increase in the amount of retail floorspace in the new centre (Planning Committee report, paragraph 78). 2 Only half the required affordable retail units would be provided. Delancey has not given any explanation for this. Instead it wants pay Southwark £753,000, but this still breaches the local planning guidance (Paragraph 88). 3 There will be less leisure use space (Paragraph 98, 143). 4 There will be 36% affordable housing (Paragraph 337), but only 33 ‘social rented’ homes, the cheapest with rent of £160pw (Paragraphs 347, 348) and only on 3-year tenancies (Paragraphs 350, 352). 5 There will be 979 homes (Paragraph 336) and all will be rented, none for sale, breaking another breach (Paragraph 338). 6 Delancey, an off-shore private company, will be the landlord of all the homes, including the affordable housing (Paragraph 342). 7 Most of the ‘affordable’ homes will be for those who earn more than £50,000 a year (348) and these will be means tested (Paragraphs 352, 383). 8 There will be no London Affordable Rented Homes, despite London Mayor Sadiq Khan, saying he wants a third of such homes in new housing developments (AH and Viability SPG, 2017 para 2.40). 9 Funding for the new Northern Line ticket hall has not been agreed between TfL and Delancey (Paragraph 550). 10 Southwark proposes moving traders into disused garages at the bottom of council block Perronet House (Paragraph 183).

INTRODUCTION Hidden beneath the surface of the Central London Thames floodplain lie numerous, deep, crater- like pits known as 'anomalous buried hollows’ (or sometimes drift filled or scour filled hollows). They penetrate deep into the London Clay and sometimes beyond. Most of these hollows are filled with sands and gravels. They are believed to have formed under sub-arctic, peri-glacial conditions. One of these hollows, The Rockingham Street Anomaly, is situated in the London Borough of Southwark, close to Elephant and Castle. It is nearly 300m wide and over 19m deep. The Rockingham Street Anomaly is exceptional in that unlike most of the other hollows, a substantial part of the fill comprises a deep accumulation of peat. The peat was first identified during the construction of a sewer in the early 20th century and the general shape of the hollow and presence of peat have been confirmed by subsequent boreholes in the area.

  • 415 Responses to Issues Raised
    Consultation on the proposed extension to bus route 415 Responses to the main issues raised February 2015 Consultation on the proposed extension to bus route 415 Responses to the main issues raised TfL responses to the main issues raised This document summarises our response to the main issues raised. Set out below are the main points put to us during the consultation and our response to these. Our proposals In January 2015, TfL launched a five week consultation to gain public and stakeholder feedback to an extension of bus route 415. The route currently runs from Tulse Hill to Elephant & Castle station. We proposed to extend route 415 from Elephant & Castle station to Old Kent Road, Tesco, as a response to stakeholder and customer feedback regarding crowding along New and Old Kent Road. As part of the proposals, the route would no longer serve stops on Newington Causeway. Main issues raised and TfL's response It will be inconvenient if buses no longer serve stops F and H at Newington Causeway as it will increase current journey times, making access to the Bakerloo Line and Southbank University difficult especially for wheelchair users The nearest stops are located approximately 200 metres from the existing first and last stops, around a 2½ minute walk. Whilst we appreciate this will cause inconvenience for some customers, extending the 415 provides new journey opportunities and ensures that we can provide capacity to meet demand between Old Kent Road and Elephant & Castle. Will the extension have any negative impact on the reliability of the 415 service? Additional resources will be added into the schedule to ensure the route can operate reliability.

    planning report D&P/4271/01 18 December 2017 136-142 New Kent Road, Elephant & Castle in the London Borough of Southwark planning application no. 17/AP/3910 Strategic planning application stage 1 referral Town & Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended); Greater London Authority Acts 1999 and 2007; Town & Country Planning (Mayor of London) Order 2008. The proposal Redevelopment to provide a part 15 storey, part 9 storey, part 6 storey and part 2 storey mixed- use building providing 85 residential units, 1,241 sq.m. of flexible business floor space/community space and 597 sq.m. of retail floor space. The proposal includes a new pedestrian route through the site linking New Kent Road with Munton Road. The applicant The applicant is Gralaw One Ltd and Capital Homes, and the architect is Collado Collins. Strategic issues summary Land use principle: mixed-use redevelopment of this site in the Elephant & Castle Opportunity Area and Central Activities Zone is supported. However, the applicant must commit to no net loss of employment floorspace and address concerns over the quality of the space. (paragraphs 12- 16) Affordable housing: 35% by habitable room, with a 50:50 split between affordable rent and shared ownership. GLA officers will robustly scrutinise the applicant’s viability assessment. The use of grant should be explored and modelled to increase the offer. Concerns over affordability also need to be addressed. Early implementation and late stage review mechanisms should be secured if the draft London Plan 50% threshold is not met. (paragraphs 17-21) Urban design: generally supported; concerns regarding the quality and generosity of the pedestrian route through the scheme should be addressed.
