    A Supplementary Planning Document for Old Deer Park

    Old Deer Park A SUPPLEMENTARY PLANNING DOCUMENT FOR OLD DEER PARK The Old Deer Park (the Park) was established during the reign of Henry VI. It is listed as Grade I on Historic England’s Register of Historic Parks and Gardens and forms the core of the Old Deer Park Conservation Area. It is bordered by the built up areas of Richmond, the River Thames and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew World Heritage site. The area is extensive, being some 147 hectares in total, with a varied character ranging from open space and natural landscape supported by many mature trees, through to car parking, sports facilities and community buildings. The majority of the land is owned by the Crown Estate, which then leases different parts of the Park to a range of organisations. The Park’s main function is for recreation and includes the following, accessed from the A316: • Recreation Ground, with open recreation areas, play, fitness and temporary events areas, sports pitches and tennis courts • King’s Observatory which is a Grade I listed building and is used as a private residence • Royal Mid-Surrey Golf Club (members club) • Richmond Athletic Association Ground (including Grade II listed pavilion), which is home to Richmond and London Scottish Rugby Football Clubs • Richmond Swimming Pool (Grade II listed building) & Lido, now called ‘Pools on the Park’ • Public car park, landscaped area, Royal Mail sorting office and a number of community/ voluntary sector buildings • Accessed from the A307 (Kew Road) the Old Deer Park Sports Ground which accommodates London Welsh Amateur Rugby Football Club and Richmond Cricket Club, together with tennis, archery, bowls and squash facilities *Home to London Scottish and Richmond Rugby Football Clubs ** Home to London Welsh Rugby Football Club, Richmond Cricket club, tennis, archery, bowls and squash The plan above includes the location of key features within the Park [email protected] Old Deer Park What is a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) and why is one needed for Old Deer Park?

  • Radnor Gardens Management Plan 2020-21: Foreword

    Radnor Gardens Management Plan 2020-21: Foreword

    Official January 2020 – December 2021 1 Official Radnor Gardens Management Plan 2020-21: Foreword Radnor Gardens are a vitally important asset for local people and visitors to the borough. The London Borough of Richmond upon Thames (the Council) aspires to maintain and manage the Gardens to the highest standards. This management plan is based on the use of an audit of the park following central government guidance known as PPG 17. This is explained within this document but the approach is based on common sense. We believe that it is important to get the simple things right. Is the green space clean and tidy? Is the grass cut? Are the trees and shrubs well maintained? Is any graffiti removed effectively and quickly? Working with local communities to deliver the highest quality of service is top priority and it is hoped that this document will provide a framework for continuing and improving dialogue. The site will be maintained appropriately and the local community will be consulted on any proposed changes or improvements to facilities or infrastructure. In particular, the borough works closely with the Friends of Radnor Gardens. We actively encourage suggestions about all aspects of the park. While the Council is open to the changing needs of the community with regards to any of the borough’s parks, the Gardens are long established and are well maintained. There have been major renovations over the last few years, these include the installation of a new playground; repairs to the boundary wall; shrub bed replanting; transformation of a parks building into a café kiosk and renovation of the bowling green.

Richmond itself was an important centre with its royal palace dating from the medieval period. While construction of the school in 1870 is likely to have disturbed at least the most shallow archaeological deposits, the area under the playground is less likely to have been truncated allowing for the preservation of archaeologically sensitive layers. It is anticipated that it will be necessary to provide further information about the archaeological potential of the site from field observations, in order to draw up a scheme to mitigate the impact of the proposed residential development on any below-ground archaeological deposits if necessary.

The project is ambitious for a number of reasons – but in terms of this Business Plan, most importantly because it will provide a complete step change in the level of commercial activity onsite. Turnover will increase onsite fourfold to around £1m p.a. as a direct result of the project , and expenditure will increase by around a third. This Business Plan provides a detailed assessment of the forecast operational performance of Marble Hill House and Park under the project.
