  • Waterloo Building Height Study, 2018
    Waterloo Building Height Study, 2018 1. Introduction 1.1 This study has been undertaken to inform Lambeth’s approach to tall buildings in Waterloo as part of the Lambeth Local Plan Review, 2018. 2. Background The Waterloo Opportunity Area 2.1 The London Plan identifies Waterloo as an Opportunity Area and the objectives are outlined in the Mayor’s Waterloo Opportunity Area Planning Framework (2007) which include: ‘Development potential in the area should be maximised given Waterloo’s status as an opportunity Area and its location within the Central Activities Zone and to accord with the strategy of providing the highest levels of activity at locations with the greatest transport capacity’. 2.2 The OAPF identified two broad areas suitable for tall building – above and around the station and on the commercial spine behind the Riverside (Belvedere Road and Upper Ground) – based in part on the presence of tall buildings in these locations already. The associated illustrations generally show a cluster of tall buildings over Waterloo Station which would be delivered as part of a station redevelopment which would push the passenger concourse to ground level allowing the platforms to be extended. 2.3 The OAPF recognises the need for development to respond to this sensitive context: ‘Additionally, development potential has to be tempered against the normal impacts of development assessed by the planning system including the impact on character areas and on local and strategic views’. (OAPF page 99). 2.4 Figure 49 identifies five areas of possible development within and around the railway station: 1. Elizabeth House and surrounds, 2.

  • Waterloo Guided Walks
    WATERLOO GUIDED WALKS Waterloo is a historic and a fascinating neighbourhood, full of surprises, which can be discovered on these self-guided walks. Choose one or two routes through this historic part of South London, or add all four together to make one big circuit. Each section takes about 30 minutes without stops. WWW.WEAREWATERLOO.CO.UK @wearewaterloouk We are working with the Cross River Partnership through their Mayor’s Air Quality Funded programme Clean Air Better Business (CABB) to deliver air quality improvements and encourage active travel for workers, residents and visitors to the area. VICTORIAN WATERLOO Walk through the main iron gate (you are welcome to visit or attend a service) and skirt the church to the right, leaving by the gate hidden in the hedge right behind the building. Follow Secker Street left and right, In medieval times this area was desolate Lambeth Marsh, which only really came to life with the crossing Cornwall Road to Theed Street completion of Westminster Bridge in 1750. Then around a century later the first railways arrived, running above ground level on mighty brick viaducts. Start in Waterloo Station, under the four-faced clock suspended from the roof at the centre of the concourse, a popular meeting 4 spot for travellers for almost 80 years. Theed Street, Windmill Walk and Roupell Street This is one of London’s most atmospheric quarters, much fi lmed, with its nineteenth-century terraces, elegant streetlamps and steeply pitched roofs. The gallery on the corner of Theed Street was once a cello factory and the musical motif continues as you walk: the gate signed ‘The Warehouse’ is home to the London Festival Orchestra, which became independent in the 1980s and performs at major venues and festivals.

  • 1 the Driver Mr Tahsin Cilekbileckli
    F.html 07/12/2009 11:44 1 the driver Mr Tahsin Cilekbileckli Outward appearance Like Antonio Banderas in Interview with the Vampire, down to the long black hair. Neatly pressed London Underground uniform, except for the jacket, which is slung over the back of his chair. Unshaven, baggy-eyed. His Hush Puppy shoes are worn along one edge. Inside information A qualified [[136]] Turkish political scientist living in Britain with a British wife. He walks splay footedly because his feet were beaten while he was in prison. His name means Perfection With Steel Wrists. Turkish surnames are new this century, added under the rule of Ataturk -- Father Turk. Such names sound beautiful to them. What he is doing or thinking The train pulls out, Tahsin sighs with despair and exhaustion. Last night he argued with his two best friends about Islamic fundamentalism. Tunc teaches at the [[ftnt1]] School of Oriental and African Studies and is from an old Ottoman family. "There are only a million modern Turks, but we have all the power," Tunc said, heavy lidded with superiority. Tahsin's other friend Umut is a failed actor, drinking himself to death. "There would be no more wine," Umut complained. "Umut" means Hope. Tahsin lost his temper with both of them. Tahsin is from Marash, a town famous only for its rubbery ice cream. His mother and father are illiterate and faithful. "My modern son," sighs his father on the phone with pride when told Tahsin is writing a book on a computer. After all the other isms, Islam at least feels native.

  • Lambeth Council and Transport for London Will Assess How Developments Can Take Account of and Address Transport Requirements
    Chapter 7: Site Specific Guidance Site Specific Guidance There are many sites in Waterloo where Lambeth would welcome redevelopment, but this section sets out guidance for particular sites where clarification of the development issues is required. Likely site specific s.106 obligations are highlighted, but developments will need to comply with Lambeth’s SPD on s.106 Planning Obligations. This section covers the following sites: MDO 93 Shell Centre - Hungerford Car Park MDO 94 South Bank Centre MDO 91 Waterloo Station MDO 92 Elizabeth House MDO 107 Union Jack Club - Lower Marsh - IMAX & ‘City Square’ MDO 108 Cornwall Road bus garage 7.1 Shell Centre (MDO 93) Site History 7.1.1 Shell International put forward a plan to redevelop the Shell Centre on York Road in 2001. The plan would create a new 10-storey building on the upstream podium with office, retail and leisure uses and development within the courtyard of the Shell Centre. The ground floor spaces of the existing shell centre tower would be converted to retail uses and be open to the public. The public realm across the Shell Centre would be greatly improved. Current status 7.1.2 Planning permission and conservation area consent was granted on appeal in 2004 for a scheme including part demolition and the erection of a mixed use building of 69,000sqm on the podium site (01/02543/FUL). Development Principles 7.1.3 The UDP states that “the Council will promote the contribution this site can make to permeability and pedestrian linkages as well as to open space provision either in its own right or to generating improvements to open space within the wider area”.
