BECKENHAM COPERS COPE & KANGLEY BRIDGE Character The introduction of the railway in mid-Victorian times saw Beckenham develop from a small village into a town on the edge of suburbia. The majority of dwellings in the area are Victorian with some 1940’s and 50’s flats and houses. On the whole houses tend to have fair sized gardens; however, where there are smaller dwellings and flatted developments there is a lack of available off-street parking. During the later part of the 20th century a significant number of Victorian villas were converted or replaced by modern blocks of flats or housing. Ten conservation areas have been established to help preserve and enhance the appearance of the area reflecting the historic character of the area.

  • Chislehurst Conservation Area
    CHISLEHURST CONSERVATION AREA A Study compiled and written for The Chislehurst Society By Mary S Holt August 1992 (updated February 2008) Chislehurst Conservation Area Study Editors note Mary Holt’s 1992 study of the Chislehurst Conservation Area is full of interest at a number of different levels. Not only did she describe the then current features of all the roads in the Conservation Area, she added historical information, which helps make sense of the position at the time she was writing. She also noted the practical issues faced by residents and others going about their business in these areas. Finally, she noted the then understood Conservation Area Objectives. The original study was completed in 1992, and we felt we should bring it up to date in 2008. In doing so, however, we have identified only significant changes which we believe Mary would have wanted to reflect had she been editing the original study now. In fact there are relatively few such changes given the size of the conservation area. These changes are identified in square brackets, so that readers are able to read the original study, and see what changes have been made to it in bringing it up to date. The updated study will be published on the Chislehurst Society’s website, and to make it more accessible in that format, we have changed some of the layout, and added some old photographs of Chislehurst taken in the first three decades of the 20th Century to illustrate the text. February 2008 Mary at the entrance to the Hawkwood Estate in 1989 at the time that the National Trust were proposing that a golf course should be built here.

  • Bromley May 2018
    Traffic noise maps of public parks in Bromley 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.
