8 MARTINS YARD COMMUNITY VISION PRESENTATION LIKES, DISLIKES, IDEAS Community Planning
LIKES • Green space – local parks Telegraph Hill: Upper and Lower parks, Nunhead cemetery – tree lined streets • Community – diverse local population – strong community spirit • Local businesses & amenities – variety of local independent shops, cafes, schools and other amenities • Accessibility – good public transport links – easy access to other areas by walking • Look and feel – charm and character, peaceful residential • Architecture & design – Victorian houses – self build – modern/traditional – Dragonfly Place - variety • Mixed uses – Dragonfly Place and other mixed-use schemes • Views – views over London in multiple directions
“Great parks nearby and easy access to various other areas whether that be walking or utilising transport links.”
“Brockley attracts a variety of different people; students, families, and house-sharers, so a sense of community can be felt. I feel this is reflected through the logo and sentiments of Brockley Brewery – ‘Support Local’.”
“Brockley itself has charm and character and a great variety of restaurants, bars and boutique shops.”
“As regards Dragonfly Place, the height of the buildings (although it would have been even better had the units been less close together) and the inclusion of work-units on the ground floor.”
9 MARTINS YARD COMMUNITY VISION PRESENTATION LIKES, DISLIKES, IDEAS Community Planning
DISLIKES • Traffic – volume of traffic along Drakefell Road – lorries and HGV - pollution – noise • Parking – high demand for local people – difficult for pedestrians as cars are often parked on pavements • Look and feel – the builders yard is run down • Accessibility – lack of through route for pedestrians - crowded local public transport • Architecture & design – poorly converted flats
“I hate the awful lorries using skyline roofing. Noisy, out of place for the area and have damaged my car 4 times!”
“The messy appearance of the buildings around the end of Drakefell Road, Endwell Road, Dragonfly Place and Mantle Road and down to Brockley Cross.”
“Lack of through-route for pedestrians through Dragonfly Place and into Drakefell Road.”
“The amount of small and badly converted flat-conversions.”
10 MARTINS YARD COMMUNITY VISION PRESENTATION LIKES, DISLIKES, IDEAS Community Planning
IDEAS FOR THE SITE • Local businesses & amenities – independent businesses – café, gym, butcher – community space & art • Mixed Uses – a mixed scheme of commercial and housing – studios – live/work space – co-working • Accessibility – improve cycling & pedestrian access - link site through to Dragonfly Place • Green Space – more public open and green spaces – community gardens – plaza - yards - more trees – private gardens – landscaped public gardens • Architecture & design – modern but sympathetic to local history and local buildings - sustainably built - family accommodation • Height – overlooking of existing homes • Affordability – genuinely affordable • Traffic & Parking – minimise additional traffic – ban pavement parking – zero parking
“A green square/plaza with a small cafe/deli to serve the businesses around.”
“It would be nice to see mixed use. We need spaces for start-ups and new businesses with fair rent.”
“Whatever scheme is introduced, it needs to be acceptable to the residents living adjacent to it (accepting that most things might be better than a builders’ yard) and in particular avoid any scheme which substantially increases overlooking of the gardens of the houses in Drakefell Road.”
“Provision for social / affordable housing, which is in short supply in the area.”
11 MARTINS YARD COMMUNITY VISION PRESENTATION KEY THEMES Community Planning
MIXED USES The community places a high value on local business and amenities. There are many quality independent shops and services in and around Brockley and there is a desire to see more affordable employment space provided for in the local area. The mixed-use units in Dragonfly Place are well liked and there was a hope these types of commercial units could be extended to Martins Yard as well as providing shared community facilities, flexible live-work space, co-working, workshops and creative studios.
“A mixed scheme of small businesses and housing. Co-working space would be ace.”
“Love dragonfly place, it’s a lovely sensitively built site. Good to see local businesses.”
12 MARTINS YARD COMMUNITY VISION PRESENTATION KEY THEMES Community Planning
ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN The new buildings should respond to the look and feel of the local area. Whether that means integrating with Dragonfly place or with the wider, historic Telegraph Hill Conservation Area, in both cases taking cues from local building context and materials. New homes should be genuinely affordable and minimise overlooking of existing neighbours to the north. The design should attract a diversity of people; students, families, and house-sharers, enhancing the sense of community.
“The Drakefell road area, has always been a mixed community of private ownership, local authority, and RSL housing, with a mixture of families, and single people. The plan to integrate Martins Yard, should continue this diversity.”
“More homes like Dragonfly Place!”
“If properties must be built then they should be sympathetic to the Victorian history in Brockley.”
13 MARTINS YARD COMMUNITY VISION PRESENTATION KEY THEMES Community Planning
MOVEMENT & TRANSPORT
Many are concerned about the volume of traffic along Drakefell Road, curb side parking, pollution, and the speed and frequency of HGVs in and around the site. There is also concern that the new development at Martins Yard may put further strain on the road network. However, there is an opportunity for the site to be developed with a sustainable approach to movement and transport. Existing residents would welcome safe walking and cycling routes instead of a reliance on cars and, although constrained by the limitations of the project, pedestrian access from Martins Yard through Dragonfly Place.
“The main problem of this area is the pollution and commuter traffic. It destroys the community and is damaging to health. We have campaigned about this actively and think there are simple ways of making things better such as banning pavement parking, more safe crossing points and ANPR cameras to stop HGVs in parts they shouldn’t be.”
“It would be good if the new site could be used to create a new proper street connecting Dragonfly place to Drakefell Road with more independent shops, co-working spaces, cafes and green spaces/flowerbeds. Improved cycle links would also be positive.”
14 MARTINS YARD COMMUNITY VISION PRESENTATION KEY THEMES Community Planning
LANDSCAPE LED
The community places a high value on the local parks, green spaces and tree lined streets and feels that quality of life is enhanced by the proximity to views, open space, and nature. There is a desire to increase the amount of green space, trees, and outdoor areas as access to more public and private open space is important, particularly during the pandemic and beyond. A range of courtyard gardens, roof gardens, woodland spaces and yards with places to sit, meet, grow, plant and relax should be considered.
“Brockley itself has developed into a place to bring up children, with the parks, Hilly Fields, Telegraph Hill Parks and Nunhead Cemetery. Wildlife is still in evidence!”
“There also needs to be greenery and landscaped gardens built into this area. The little green spaces we do have are busy during the summer months.”

MARTINS YARD COMMUNITY VISION PRESENTATION Note: Landscape drawn is illustrative 33 LANDSCAPE LED APPROACH The Vision
The design team feel that a landscape led approach is necessary to create a successful scheme.
The emerging landscape proposals are informed by the surrounding context. The most interesting of which are the layers of landscape that exist at the levels surrounding the site. Area a - arrival spaces The new scheme with its reoriented buildings, allows green space and new biodiverse to connect through it.
Existing railway tracks are an area of ecological importance, at the base of the site

Dragonfly place connects Drakefell Road to the site on a steep slope
Drakefell Road sits as much as 6m above the site at Martins Area c - woodland Yard
34 MARTINS YARD COMMUNITY VISION PRESENTATION LANDSCAPE LED APPROACH The Vision
The landscape concept is to plant a barrier of scented evergreen climbers along the northern edge of the level 4 terrace to screen neighbouring houses and gardens from overlooking.
The terrace then seeks to create a varied amenity space for all residents to use together.
Grow Gardens Facing south towards the SINC, the grow gardens will be well positioned for all residents.
Communal Dining The proposal calls for several varied spaces to eat together, well positioned to take advantage of sunlight in the day and through the evenings.
