David Boardman, Kennington Association Planning Forum, addressed the committee and made a number of points including that:
• The benefits outweighed the risks even allowing for the Health

and Safety Executive’s concerns.
• There were employment and leisure benefits.

Page 3

• The conditions would protect the amenity and safety of residents.

• He supported the application.
Members examined the concerns expressed by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). In discussion a number of Members expressed the view that the report presented a very thorough examination of the HSE’s concerns and that it demonstrated clearly why it was appropriate to approve the application. In relation to this Members also discussed recent applications where the HSE had expressed concerns such as at the Oval Cricket Ground and Ram Brewery. The implications of going against the HSE’s recommendation were also discussed.

The Committee also examined other issues, including:
• The design of the stairwell including decoration.

• Whether the HSE could call-in the decision.

• The general lack of opposition recorded from residents apart from representations regarding transport matters.

• Transport issues and access arrangements including the transport management plan.

• The need to guard against a gradual reduction in industrial production on the site and the need not to set a precedent in respect of on-compliant uses on Key Industrial Business Area (KIBA) land.

MOVED by Councillor Diana Morris, SECONDED by Councillor Ruth Ling and it was:

RESOLVED: That the application be approved subject to the conditions and a Section 106 agreement as outlined in the report and with the addition of an informative confirming the ancillary nature of the development being approved in relation to the main industrial use of the site.

During the officer introduction Members attention was drawn to the

Page 4

addendum to the report including some possible changes to conditions.

David Taylor, Herne Hill Forum, addressed the Committee. He reported that a number of concerns had been expressed by residents but that these had in general been dealt with through changes to the scheme and so he now supported the application. However, he requested that the allocation of Section 106 monies be re-examined and for residents to be involved in discussions. He further noted that the Forum still wished to raise the issue of the bus stop location with Transport for London but that this was not specifically part of this application.

The applicants addressed the Committee and highlighted a number of issues including:
• The consultation processes that had taken place and the

positive responses from residents.
• The new pedestrian link and public realm improvements.

• A request that the servicing hours be extended. • That the number of disabled parking spaces met the requirement and was adequate.

• The roof terrace and privacy and noise issues relating to the roof access.

Responding to questions the Conservation Officer confirmed her view that the design was appropriate for a Conservation Area.

Members discussed the application and looked at the Section 106 allocations including whether it would be appropriate to re-allocate some of the funding towards local library provision and also whether Brockwell Passage did not in fact need any funding and also that Section 106 monies were designed to mitigate the specific impact of the development. They also discussed issues around the delivery times and the potential impact on students living on the site.

    The Commemorative Activity at the Grave of Munich Air Disaster Victim, Duncan Edwards: A Social and Cultural Analysis of the Commemorative Networks of a Local Sporting Hero by Gayle Rogers A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire July 2017 ABSTRACT The Commemorative Activity at the Grave of Munich Air Disaster Victim, Duncan Edwards: A Social and Cultural Analysis of the Commemorative Networks of a Local Sporting Hero The Munich Air Disaster claimed the lives of 23 people in a plane crash in Munich in 1958. It is a significant event within modern England’s cultural history as a number of Manchester United footballers, known as the Busby Babes were amongst the dead. The players who died have continued to be extensively commemorated, especially Duncan Edwards. This research considers the commemorative activity associated with Edwards since his death and was initiated when the researcher pondered the extensive commemorative activity by strangers that she encountered at the family grave of her cousin Edwards. The commemoration of the Disaster and of Edwards has been persistent and various with new acts of commemoration continuing conspicuously even after fifty years since the event. Such unique activity particularly demonstrated at Edwards’ grave was considered worthy of further investigation to ascertain why such activity was occurring at such a volume. Although general historical and biographical accounts of the Disaster and Edwards are apparent, specific research concerning the commemoration of the event was not evident. The researcher set out to identify who the commemorators were, why they were undertaking dedicatory acts and what those acts manifest as.

  • Article in 3Rd Dimension Magazine

    Article in 3Rd Dimension Magazine

    Martin Jennings Article by Joanna Barnes in 3rd Dimension Magazine 2nd April 2014 White, bright and spacious, Jennings’ studio is surprisingly well-ordered, brimming with intriguing models of portraits and figures in a variety of sizes. The sculptor explains, almost apologetically, that he has just tidied up after his last commission, the statue of Charles Dickens for the author’s native city of Portsmouth. Astonishingly, at one and a quarter life-size, this is the first full-scale statue of Dickens in the United Kingdom, although the author has already been commemorated with statues in Philadelphia, USA and Sydney, Australia. In his will, Dickens stated that he did not want a memorial, expressing his desire to be remembered by his published work alone. The Portsmouth branch of the Dickens Fellowship, however, commissioned this public statue to celebrate the bicentenary of the author’s birth, arguing that the wording of the will was ambiguous. Unveiled on 7th February this year, on what would have been his 202nd birthday, it seems the statue met with the approval of Dickens’ descendants, forty of whom attended the ceremony, and Jennings himself believes that those questioning the suitability of a memorial to so great an author are ‘being rather pedantic.’ In preparation for this demanding commission, Jennings re-read some of Dickens’ novels, as well as Clare Tomalin’s biography. He depicts the Victorian author seated beside a rather precarious stack of books, surrounded by a theatrical swathe of drapery. The books are designed, he says, to convey Dickens’ ‘richness of imagination and abundant output’ and are piled up as though they might topple over at any moment, making reference to Dickens’ ‘super-rich outpouring; characters so crammed full of personality that they often tip towards caricature.’ The statue’s sedentary pose has received some criticism.

    Radical History Then and Now by Caroline Bressey

    Radical History Then and Now by Caroline Bressey University College London [email protected] Almost twenty years ago I began my final-year undergraduate dissertation at Cambridge University. I had chosen to read geography as I felt it would enable me to study the past as well as the present. Throughout my geography degree I maintained a keen interest in history through courses in historical geography, predominately focused on the emergence of modernity and the nineteenth century – including the geographies of the Chartists and Victorian popular culture. When the time came to develop a proposal for my dissertation I was inspired by Dolores Hayden’s 1995 book The Power of Place in which through the landscapes of Los Angeles she examines the social and cultural meanings which people invest in places, and how urban landscapes can become a framework for connecting historical stories and public memory in urban life.1 I intended my project to focus on the representation of black women in the urban landscapes of London. There are few statues in the suburbs of south-west London where I grew up. But walking through the centre of the city that has always been my home, though I could find black women representing empire in the foundations of memorials to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, I could not find representations of any ‘real’ people who were part of the multi-cultural Victorian city. I had done no black history at school, nor at university, but as I read more about the politics of heritage and memorialization I came to understand how these histories were further marginalized by the location of their biographies within the working-class histories of the city.
