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.

  • Green Spirit -Glendale's Spring 2011 Newsletter.Pub
    Issue 5 The Previous 10-Year Partnership by Molly Hingston Summer 2011 Glendale’s partnership with the London Borough of Lewisham has attracted national recognition for putting parks and open spaces at the heart of local communities. A unique combination of proven green expertise, investment, innovation and accountability successfully met the challenge to revitalise Lewisham’s green spaces. The following highlights some of the achievements and successes of the previous 10-year partnership; 2000 In the year 2000, the partnership between the Borough of Lewisham and Glendale began by a unique private finance initiative investment scheme. Over a three-year period Lewisham received a £1.5m investment from Glendale to finance improvements to parks and green spaces. One of the projects included a £340,000 investment at Chinbrook Meadows to develop the sports pavilion, playground and cricket pitch. 2001 The following year, 2001, Lewisham was awarded the ‘London in Bloom’ award for the ‘Most improved Borough’. The first ever catering facility in the parks opened at Manor House Gardens. Investments were also made in other parks across the Borough; from footpaths to fencing, park signs to toilets and bridges ‘Pistachios in the Park ‘at Manor House Gardens to paddling pools. 2002 A section of the River Quaggy was returned to its natural state in 2002 as part of a £1.2m regeneration project of Chinbrook Meadows. The scheme was the culmination of an innovative partnership between Groundwork, London Borough of Lewisham, Environment Agency and Glendale. A bedding memorial was created in Deptford Park to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee. 2003 2003 saw the first Lewisham Walking Festival and the first Farmers’ Market which was held in Manor House Gardens.
