Consultation Structure 2.1 Consultation was held in early October 2016, taking the form of an open exhibition at the Carmel Hall on Bourne Street. A series of consultation boards were displayed, seeking feedback on emerging objectives and ideas. Attendees included Belgravia residents, local workers and business owners, members of the Belgravia Neighbourhood Forum, the Belgravia Society, and representatives of Grosvenor. Subsequent to this event, the pupils (and their parents) of the Francis Holland school were invited to view and comment on the material. 2.2 The consultation material: ■■ Reported back on the initial consultation undertaken in June 2016 and how this had been used to inform emerging objectives and ideas for the neighbourhood plan. ■■ Presented, across four boards, the four emerging objectives and, alongside these, a summary of previous comments, a summary of the ideas, and a feedback area inviting participants to say whether they agreed or disagreed with the ideas. ■■ Provided scope for participants to leave comments on any other ideas, issues or opportunities to be addressed in the neighbourhood plan. ■■ Presented a summary of other initiatives and proposals within the area to help provide some context for the plan and the emerging opportunities, including for example the proposals for Crossrail 2. ■■ Presented an overview of the next steps in the neighbourhood planning process. 2.3 The consultation exercise was advertised on-line and through social media, and by direct invite to people living and working in the area. The exhibition boards were also displayed on the website of the Belgravia Forum. ©TIBBALDS NOVEMBER 2016 Belgravia Neighbourhood Plan Consultation Statement 3 ❚ 3. Consultation Feedback - ‘Make Green Spaces More Accessible for all.’ 3.1 Support was expressed for all emerging ideas regarding making green spaces more accessible for all, as is summarised below. The table shows consultation responses to each idea, expressed as a percentage: Make Green Spaces More Accessible for all Idea Agree (%) Neutral (%) Disagree (%) (a) Promote and encourage the creation of more 79 16 5 parklets in Belgravia (b) Rationalise road space around Belgrave Square 88 12 0 to create more publicly accessible space (c) Increase biodiversity throughout Belgravia 81 19 0 3.2 In addition to this feedback, others attending the consultation left the following comments: ■■ Parklets are an excellent idea. ■■ There is too much hard-standing in Belgravia and a need for more green space. ■■ The idea of creating more pedestrian space, potentially including new street furniture and pavilions, around Belgrave Square is a good one. ■■ If the public-realm is to be changed around Belgrave Square then the design and materials should be sensitive to the context and quality of architecture. ■■ Creating areas of biodiversity is good idea, but needs to be considered against potential for attracting pests. 3.3 It was also suggested that the Grosvenor Canal should be reinstated. 3.4 The canal originally stretched from the River Thames near Chelsea Bridge to Grosvenor Basin (also called Pimlico Wharf) on the current site of Victoria Station. The route of the Canal ran along the eastern side of Ebury Bridge Road and Buckingham Palace Road. This is outside the Belgravia Neighbourhood Plan area but within the area of the emerging Victoria Neighbourhood Plan, thus this idea could be raised with the Victoria Forum.

Consultation Feedback - ‘Enhance the Vitality of Local Centres’ 4.1 Significant support was expressed for all emerging ideas regarding enhancing the vitality of local centres, as is summarised below. The table shows consultation responses to each idea, expressed as a percentage: Enhance the Vitality of Local Centres Idea Agree (%) Neutral (%) Disagree (%) (a) Encourage a greater diversity of retail choice in 81 19 0 Belgravia’s local centres, including opportunities for affordable office and retail space. (b) Improve the quality of the public realm in 100 0 0 Belgravia’s local centres (Elizabeth Street, Motcomb Street and Orange Square) (c) Provide Opportunities for a greater amount 89 0 11 of ‘street activity’ in Belgravia, e.g. markets and events, including making greater use of the squares. 4.2 In addition to this feedback, others attending the consultation left the following comments: ■■ There

Discover central London's most famous sights along this stretch of the River Thames. The Houses of Parliament, St. Paul's Cathedral, Tate Modern and the Tower of London; the Thames Path links these and other great icons in a free and easy level walk that reveals both the historic and contemporary life of London. London developed because of the Thames and the river is at its very heart. From elegant Chelsea to the Tower of London, the walk reflects the history, heritage, architecture and activities that make this one of the great capital cities of the world. Enjoy ever-changing views and vistas, following the Thames to the cultural complex of the South Bank, or the Temple and Inns of Court on the north side, the Pool of London, once-bawdy Bankside with its Dickensian alleys, passing such outstanding features as Wren's Chelsea Royal Hospital, Battersea Power Station and the wheel of the London Eye. There are plenty of distractions along the way!. Continues on next page Continues Directions. Pick up the Thames Path at Albert Bridge, where signs instruct soldiers from Chelsea Barracks to 'break step' when crossing. Considered too weak for modern traffic, the bridge was only saved from demolition by public outcry, led by the poet Sir John Betjeman, who also famously led the battle to save St.

  • 7.0 Assessment of Effects on Heritage Receptors (Contd.) 7C
    EBURY BRIDGE RENEWAL, CITY OF WESTMINSTER ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT VOLUME I1: HERITAGE, TOWNSCAPE & VISUAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT 7.0 ASSESSMENT OF EFFECTS ON HERITAGE RECEPTORS (CONTD.) 7C. REGISTERED PARKS AND GARDENS 2) Eccleston Square (Grade II) 7C.9 The development site lies to the south-west and is separated by the intervening townscape to the south and the railway lines; they are not experienced as part of the setting of Eccleston Square. Likely effect of the proposed development on its heritage significance: 7C.10 When viewed from the north side of the square, the proposed development will be obscured by the mature trees in the square gardens during summer, but in winter sporadic glimpses of the tops of the taller buildings to the south-west corner of the square will be possible, albeit heavily filtered through the overlaying branches of the trees. Their visibility will be small and further away compared to the existing 23-storey Glastonbury House. As the viewer moves southwards, when the buildings on the south side of the square come into view, beyond the trees, the buildings will disappear from view. This minor level of visibility would have no effect on the significance of the registered park or the ability to appreciate it. Likely cumulative effect of the proposed development in combination with other relevant consented schemes on its heritage significance: 7C.11 The cumulative schemes will not be experienced as part of the setting of the registered park; there is therefore no cumulative effect on its significance Fig. 7.111: Eccleston Square. or the ability to appreciate it.
