  • Waterloo Building Height Study, 2018

    Waterloo Building Height Study, 2018

    Waterloo Building Height Study, 2018 1. Introduction 1.1 This study has been undertaken to inform Lambeth’s approach to tall buildings in Waterloo as part of the Lambeth Local Plan Review, 2018. 2. Background The Waterloo Opportunity Area 2.1 The London Plan identifies Waterloo as an Opportunity Area and the objectives are outlined in the Mayor’s Waterloo Opportunity Area Planning Framework (2007) which include: ‘Development potential in the area should be maximised given Waterloo’s status as an opportunity Area and its location within the Central Activities Zone and to accord with the strategy of providing the highest levels of activity at locations with the greatest transport capacity’. 2.2 The OAPF identified two broad areas suitable for tall building – above and around the station and on the commercial spine behind the Riverside (Belvedere Road and Upper Ground) – based in part on the presence of tall buildings in these locations already. The associated illustrations generally show a cluster of tall buildings over Waterloo Station which would be delivered as part of a station redevelopment which would push the passenger concourse to ground level allowing the platforms to be extended. 2.3 The OAPF recognises the need for development to respond to this sensitive context: ‘Additionally, development potential has to be tempered against the normal impacts of development assessed by the planning system including the impact on character areas and on local and strategic views’. (OAPF page 99). 2.4 Figure 49 identifies five areas of possible development within and around the railway station: 1. Elizabeth House and surrounds, 2.

    Development of a Culture Plan and a Libraries Plan for Croydon

    For general release REPORT TO: Overview and Scrutiny Committee 11th February 2019 SUBJECT: Development of a Culture Plan and a Libraries Plan for Croydon LEAD OFFICERS: Shifa Mustafa, Executive Director – Place CABINET MEMBER: Councillor Oliver Lewis Cabinet Member for Culture, Leisure & Sport PERSON LEADING AT Councillor Oliver Lewis SCRUTINY COMMITTEE MEETING: ORIGIN OF This item has been identified by the Scrutiny Sub ITEM: Committee as an area of scrutiny. To provide comment and inform the development of BRIEF FOR the Culture Plan and a Libraries Plan for Croydon THE Council. COMMITTEE: 1 Executive Summary 1.1 Both a Cultural Plan and a Libraries Plan are currently in development for Croydon and due to be agreed at the May Cabinet later this year. Both will respond to the current challenges and opportunities for these areas and build on the strengths and achievements. This report outlines current provision as a background report to the SWOT analysis presented at committee and sets out the draft priority themes of both plans. 2 A cultural plan for Croydon 2.1 The support of culture in Croydon within the context of the regeneration taking place has been a priority over the last 3-5 years. The focus during that time has been on activity; the major redevelopment of the Fairfield Halls and securing an operator for its future, on supporting the cultural sector in Croydon and creating opportunities for it to grow, on the consolidation and development of a calendar of cultural events and on building partnerships both in and outside of the borough. The development of a Cultural Plan for the Borough is now timely, to build on this growing groundswell of activity and create a framework for activity for the next 5-10 years.
  • London Borough of Lambeth (2550)

    London Borough of Lambeth (2550)

    Statement to the Examination in Public of the Draft London Plan 2017 (as modified August 2018) Matter 88 – Town Centre Network London Borough of Lambeth (2550) – 1 March 2019 Is the town centre network set out in the Plan justified and would it be effective in ensuring that identified needs for main town centre use developments are met in appropriate locations in accordance with national policy? 1. Lambeth’s representation on this matter relates to the classification of Waterloo in the London Plan town centre hierarchy. At present, only Lower Marsh/The Cut is recognised as a CAZ retail cluster. In Lambeth’s view, this does not adequately reflect the scale of existing and emerging main town centre uses or Waterloo’s potential for further investment and therefore does not provide an effective means to plan for and monitor the centre going forward. Lambeth believes a larger Waterloo CAZ retail cluster should be identified, to complement other London Plan designations for the area and to allow for more effective local policy for Waterloo and the Southbank to come forward through the current review of the Lambeth Local Plan. Proposed classifications in the Draft London Plan (with suggested modifications August 2018) (DLP) 2. The wider Waterloo and Southbank area has the following classifications in the DLP: Entirely within the Central Activities Zone (CAZ) Waterloo Opportunity Area (characterised as ‘maturing’ with remaining potential for 1,500 homes and 6,000 jobs; the capacity identified in the current London Plan 2016 is 2,500 homes and

    Culture, Leisure and Sport Cabinet Member Bulletin Councillor Timothy Godfrey January 2018 Latest News Live Well Croydon The Live Well Croydon Programme is making great headway in supporting Croydon residents towards improving healthy lifestyles, whether it’s signposting people to local opportunities to increase physical activity, provide motivation for those who wish to give up smoking or lose weight or improve mental health and wellbeing; our team of Live Well Advisors have so far provided initial consultations to just over 260 residents. The initial consultation is the first stage of the 12 month behaviour change journey and we are now seeing a number of residents moving onto the next 3 month review stage. As can be seen below, residents are achieving some very positive results from engaging in Live Well Croydon as they work towards their longer term health goals: Mr B – now a non-smoker at 3 months, has increased physical activity levels and improvement in mental wellbeing score. Miss J - 7kg weight loss at 3 month review, reduction in high fat foods and fried foods within her diet; improved mental health and wellbeing. Mr N - reduced calorie intake by 800 calories a day by making small swaps and increased his exercise from under 30 minutes a day to nearly 90 minutes.
