Surface water is directed here from Lambeth across Tooting Bec Common and ponds along the railway line as it is in a cutting. The west of the CDA is locations within an iPEG area. Flood Risk Categorisation: Surface Water, Groundwater and Sewer Property Count: 513 residential and 20 non-residential properties >0.03m 60 residential properties >0.5m Critical Infrastructure: • Railway line between Streatham Common Station and Balham Station. • Electricity Substation (Byrne Road) Validation: • There are records of surface water flooding in Tooting Bec Common in 2007. • There are two records of groundwater flooding in the CDA. Local Flood Risk Zones Streatham Common to Balham Railway Cutting – pluvial modelling shows that surface water from Tooting Bec Common flows on to the railway cutting and causes flooding to the railway track and downstream properties along Byrne Road.

  • Introduction
    Official WANDSWORTH BOROUGH COUNCIL BUILDINGS OF SPECIAL ARCHITECTURAL OR HISTORIC INTEREST INTRODUCTION The Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport is required to compile lists of buildings of special architectural or historic interest for the guidance of local planning authorities. Conservation policies are often based on the lists, which are being revised within nationally applied surveys of specific building types. How Buildings are Chosen The principles of selection for these lists were originally drawn up by an expert committee of architects, antiquarians and historians, and are still followed, although now adapted to thematic surveys and Post-War buildings. Buildings that qualify for listing are:- (a) All buildings before 1700 which survive in anything like their original condition. (b) Most buildings between 1700-1840, though some selection is necessary. (c) Between 1840 and 1914 only buildings of definite quality and character, the selection being designed to include the best examples of particular building types. (d) Selected buildings from the period after 1914 are selected on the same basis. (e) Buildings under 30 years old (but more than ten) are normally listed only if they are of outstanding quality and under threat. In choosing buildings, particular attention is paid to:- � Special value within certain types, either for architectural or planning reasons or as illustrating social and economic history (for instance, industrial buildings, railway stations, schools, hospitals, prisons, theatres). � Technological innovation or virtuosity (for instance cast iron, prefabrication, or the early use of concrete). � Group value, especially as examples of town planning (for instance, squares, terraces or model estates). � Association with well-known characters or events.

  • Battersea Area Guide
    Battersea Area Guide Living in Battersea and Nine Elms Battersea is in the London Borough of Wandsworth and stands on the south bank of the River Thames, spanning from Fairfield in the west to Queenstown in the east. The area is conveniently located just 3 miles from Charing Cross and easily accessible from most parts of Central London. The skyline is dominated by Battersea Power Station and its four distinctive chimneys, visible from both land and water, making it one of London’s most famous landmarks. Battersea’s most famous attractions have been here for more than a century. The legendary Battersea Dogs and Cats Home still finds new families for abandoned pets, and Battersea Park, which opened in 1858, guarantees a wonderful day out. Today Battersea is a relatively affluent neighbourhood with wine bars and many independent and unique shops - Northcote Road once being voted London’s second favourite shopping street. The SW11 Literary Festival showcases the best of Battersea’s literary talents and the famous New Covent Garden Market keeps many of London’s restaurants supplied with fresh fruit, vegetables and flowers. Nine Elms is Europe’s largest regeneration zone and, according the mayor of London, the ‘most important urban renewal programme’ to date. Three and half times larger than the Canary Wharf finance district, the future of Nine Elms, once a rundown industrial district, is exciting with two new underground stations planned for completion by 2020 linking up with the northern line at Vauxhall and providing excellent transport links to the City, Central London and the West End.

  • Streatham and Streatham Hill Conservation Area Statement
    Streatham High Road and Streatham Hill conservation area statement Location 1The Streatham High Road & Streatham Hill Conservation Area is in the southern part of the London Borough of Lambeth. The Conservation Area stretches from Telford Avenue to the Streatham United Reform Church encompassing buildings on Streatham Hill (not including those already within the Leigham Court Estate CA31) and those that line the length of Streatham High Road. The Conservation Area includes the impressive length of commercial and purpose built residential apartment blocks dating from the late Victorian, Edwardian and inter-war eras and includes the Free Tate Library, the Police Station, St. Leonard’s Church, the Odeon and ABC Cinemas and other public buildings, which form an important centre for shopping, recreation and commerce. Origins of development and settlement Streatham High Road is one of London’s major arterial roads. From Roman times, and perhaps earlier, it has been an important highway running between London and the 2Weald. Traces of pre Christian burials were discovered when St. Leonard’s was rebuilt in the 19th century and demonstrate that this was a burial place over 2000 years ago. Also discovered were Roman masonry, coins and a Roman ditch. It is probably that the Romans built a military station on the site of St. Leonard’s consisting of a small fort enclosing 2 or three acres surrounded by an earthwork and a ditch. The derivation of the name “Streatham” being from the Saxon “Strat” Street and “Ham” Settlement. Streatham probably evolved as scattered settlements of Saxon farms along the two Roman roads, which ran through the area.
