  • Bellingham Local History the Name Means “The Water-Meadow Belonging to Beora’S People”
    London Borough of Lewisham Local History and Archives Centre Info Byte Sheet No. 33 Bellingham Local History The name means “the water-meadow belonging to Beora’s people”. It was the name of the medieval manor in this area, and survived in Bellingham Farm. It was revived in 1892 as the name of a new railway station, then in open country, on the Nunhead and Shortlands Railway. After the First World War the London County Council began to build large estates on the edge of the built-up area of London to ease overcrowding and assist slum clearance. Downham Estate, close to Bellingham, is a typical example. Because there was plenty of land available, most of the dwellings could be two-storey houses with gardens (rather than flats) interspersed with open spaces and trees. Provision was made for schools, shops, churches, parks and other amenities. The land for the Bellingham Estate (Bellingham Farm and part of White House Farm) was bought in 1920, and building of the main estate was completed in 1923. Historical names were chosen for the roads. Some were connected with King Alfred, who was thought to have been lord of the manor of Lewisham. Others were the names of old houses, fields, and mills in the area. The inhabitants came from crowded inner London areas, mainly from Deptford and Bermondsey. The extension south of Southend Lane was built between 1936 and 1939. Here more flats were built, for economy, and to meet the pressing need for housing. 2008 General Local History websites: Google Image search http://images.google.co.uk Google Book search http://www.google.co.uk/books?hl=en Genuki http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/ Dictionary of London at History online http://www.british- history.ac.uk/source.asp?pubid=3 Old Maps http://www.old-maps.co.uk/ The National Archives [Good for how to guides and http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ information on record types].

  • CIL Viability Appraisal
    CIL Viability Appraisal By Lambert Smith Hampton: For London Borough of Lewisham Assessing Viability Community Infrastructure Levy: Economic Viability Study on behalf of London Borough of Lewisham Prepared by Lambert Smith Hampton UK House, 180 Oxford Street London W1D 1NN Tel: 020 7198 2000 Fax: 020 7198 2001 Date: January 2012 Contents Page 1 Introduction 4 2 CIL in Context 5 3 Lewisham in Context 9 4 Our Methodology 14 5 Modelling viability 19 6 Data Collection and Review 28 7 Modelling Outputs 36 8 Conclusions and Recommendations 48 Appendices Appendix I List of Regulations Appendix II Summary of other Authorities draft charging schedules Appendix III Case Studies of LB Redbridge, LB Wandsworth & The Mayor of London’s CIL Appendix IV Ward Characteristic Analysis 3 1. Introduction Background 1.1 The London Borough of Lewisham (LBL) instructed Lambert Smith Hampton in May 2011 to undertake an Economic Viability Study (EVS) to provide evidence to support their Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Charging Schedule. 1.2 The Planning Act 2008 introduced the CIL as a mechanism that could be used to fund infrastructure requirements from developer contributions. This led to the publication of the CIL Regulations in March 2010 and the introduction of CIL from 6 April 2010. The Regulations set out the requirements for CIL, including the production of a Charging Schedule, which is to be supported by background evidence on economic viability and infrastructure planning. This report provides economic viability evidence to support the CIL rate that the LBL will charge. The purpose of the EVS is to advise LBL upon “the potential effects (taken as a whole) of the imposition of CIL on the economic viability of development across its area” (CIL Regs 2010, R.14.1.b) and provide LBL with a recommended CIL charging rate(s).
