The north is characterised by the flat floodplain of the River Thames. 3.1.3 The topography rises on the eastern and western sides, the higher ground forming an essential Gently rising topography part of the borough's character. The highest point to the southwest of the borough is at Forest Hill (105m). The highest point to the southeast is Grove Park Cemetery (55m). Blackheath (45m) and Telegraph Hill (45m) are the highest points to the north. 3.1.4 The dramatic topography allows for elevated views from within the borough to both the city centre and its more rural hinterland.

  • Excalibur Estate, Catford in the London Borough of Lewisham Planning Application No
    planning report PDU/2126/01 8 February 2011 Excalibur Estate, Catford in the London Borough of Lewisham planning application no. DC/10/75973 Strategic planning application stage 1 referral (new powers) Town & Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended); Greater London Authority Acts 1999 and 2007; Town & Country Planning (Mayor of London) Order 2008 The proposal Hybrid application for the demolition of the existing buildings and provision of 371 residential units in buildings ranging from 1 to 3-storeys in height with associated car and cycle parking, highway infrastructure, landscaping and open space. The applicant The applicant is London and Quadrant Housing Group, and the architect is Hunter and Partners. Strategic issues The principle of renewing this estate is strongly supported and in the interest of good strategic planning in London. The proposal is broadly consistent with London Plan policies; however, the proposal would benefit from some design alterations. Further information and discussion is also required on access, child play space, energy and transport. Recommendation That Lewisham Council be advised that while the application is generally acceptable in strategic planning terms the application does not comply with the London Plan, for the reasons set out in paragraph 66 of this report; but that the possible remedies set out in paragraph 68 of this report could address these deficiencies. Context 1 On 13 January 2010 the Mayor of London received documents from Council notifying him of a planning application of potential strategic importance to develop the above site for the above uses. Under the provisions of The Town & Country Planning (Mayor of London) Order 2008 the Mayor has until 23 February to provide the Council with a statement setting out whether he considers that the application complies with the London Plan, and his reasons for taking that view.
