The report was commissioned from MOLA by Convoys Investment S.A.R.L.. Following the recommendations of the archaeological consultant CgMs in consultation with the London Borough of Lewisham and English Heritage, 52 evaluation trenches were excavated. Boreholes and trial pits excavated by a geotechnical contractor were also monitored. The results of the field evaluation have helped to refine the initial assessment of the archaeological potential of the site. Three main areas have been identified as particularly important: the area of the Great Dock near the east boundary of the site; the footprint of the Grade II listed Olympia building where the evaluation demonstrated that stone slipways survive; and the area of the early 16th century Tudor storehouse, a scheduled ancient monument. Other structures identified during the evaluation included: the large mast pond and the small mast pond in the west of the site; the dockyard basin; multiphase buildings; the remains of the 18th century dockyard wall; and other slipways.

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions.

    Traffic noise maps of public parks in Lewisham May 2018 This document shows traffic noise maps for parks in the borough. The noise maps are taken from http://www.extrium.co.uk/noiseviewer.html. Occasionally, google earth or google map images are included to help the reader identify where the park is located. Similar documents are available for all London Boroughs. These were created as part of research into the impact of traffic noise in London’s parks. They should be read in conjunction with the main report and data analysis which are available at http://www.cprelondon.org.uk/resources/item/2390-noiseinparks. The key to the traffic noise maps is shown here to the right. Orange denotes noise of 55 decibels (dB). Louder noises are denoted by reds and blues with dark blue showing the loudest. Where the maps appear with no colour and are just grey, this means there is no traffic noise of 55dB or above. London Borough of Lewisham 1 1. Pepys Park 2. Deptford park 3. Sayes Court Park 2 4.

  • WARFARE OFFICERS CAREER HANDBOOK II Warfare Officers Career Handbook
    WARFARE OFFICERS CAREER HANDBOOK II WARFARE OFFICERS CAREER HANDBooK Warfare O fficers C areer H andbook IV WARFARE OFFICERS CAREER HANDBooK Foreword The Warfare Officers Career Handbook provides information for members of the Royal Australian Navy’s Warfare community. For the purposes of this handbook, the Warfare community is deemed to include all officers of the Seaman, Pilot and Observer Primary Qualifications. The Warfare Officer Community symbiotically contains personnel from the seaman, Submarine, Aviation, Hydrographic and Meteorological, Mine Clearance Diving and Naval Communications and Intelligence groups. The Warfare Officers Career Handbook is a source document for Warfare Officers to consult as they progress through their careers. It is intended to inform and stimulate consideration of career issues and to provide a coherent guide that articulates Navy’s requirements and expectations. The book provides a summary of the Warfare branch specialisations and the sub-specialisations that are embedded within them, leading in due course to entry into the Charge Program and the Command opportunities that follow. The Warfare Officers Career Handbook also describes the historical derivation of current warfare streams to provide contemporary relevance and the cultural background within which maritime warfare duties are conducted. It discusses the national context in which Warfare Officers discharge their duties. Leadership and ethical matters are explored, as is the inter-relationship between personal attributes, values, leadership, performance and sense of purpose. There is no intention that this handbook replicate or replace extant policy and procedural guidelines. Rather, the handbook focuses on the enduring features of maritime warfare. Policy by its nature is transient. Therefore, as far as possible, the Warfare Officers Career Handbook deals with broad principles and not more narrowly defined policies that rightly belong in other documents.

  • Wickham Road
    Wickham Road LONDON £750,000 SHARE OF FREEHOLD This large, bright two-bedroom apartment with a private garden extends over 1,200 sq ft and is located on Wickham Road, one of the most coveted addresses within the Brockley Conservation Area. Laid down c.1850, Wickham Road is the oldest and widest of the four grand north-south axis avenues in Brockley. Thoughtfully reimaged under the current ownership, this apartment respects and celebrates the refined original features of its fabric while creating a home suitable for 21st-century life. Setting the Scene The first of the grand avenues in Brockley, Wickham Road is at the heart of the conservation area. The area was constructed on farmland, predominantly in the second half of the 19th century, for the newly wealthy industrialists whose business was centred around the industrial areas of Bermondsey and Deptford. Prior to its residential development, Brockley was well regarded for the quality of its soil, which led to the creation of many market gardens; the area was renowned for the growing of giant rhubarb and its exemplary strawberries. +44 (0)20 3687 3071 — inigo.com — [email protected] Wickham Road LONDON £750,000 SHARE OF FREEHOLD Today the area remains very leafy, with a plethora of public green spaces, tree-lined streets, nature reserves and large gardens; as such, it is a haven for the wildlife of London and it is believed the Brockley Badger lives on in certain enclaves, namely the New Cross Gate Cutting, a 10-acre wildlife reserve a short walk from Wickham Road. Indeed, the name Brockley is a derivation of ‘Broca’s woodland clearing’, ‘Broca’ being Old English for badger.

  • Battle of Lewisham Mural Public Consultation Responses
    Battle of Lewisham mural public consultation responses Summary 117 consultation responses have been gathered online (33) and through live consultation activities (84) in partnership with community organisations since April 2019: 70% of comments submitted by the public were coded either ‘Positive’ or ‘Positive / constructive’. 14% of qualitative comments submitted by the public were coded either Negative’ or ‘Negative / constructive’. 45% of comments submitted by the public engaged with the design and provided constructive criticism There is broad, if not unanimous, support for the concept of commemorating the Battle of Lewisham through public art. Nearly half (45%) of respondents provided constructive criticism which will inform the final round of design changes before the mural is launched in late 2019: Colour – Revisit the use of yellow and green in terms of the visual impact of these colours and how they help clarify the composition. E.g. What / who do they reveal and obscure. Context – Ensure interpretation boards are installed alongside the artwork at launch. People - Consider including Lewisham Mayor Ron Pepper if an appropriate image can be sourced. Banners & symbols – Remove the ‘National Front’ banner and move the ALCARAF banner to a more central position. NF platform - Consider ways in which the design can be altered to obscure the NF or minimise the risk of being perceived to give them a platform. Composition – Consider revisiting the central third of the composition in order to address the perceived lack of clarity and focus. This could be achieved by altering contrast and exploring how a stronger punk zine ‘cut out’ technique might provide clearer lines and greater structure.
