Mais House - 108 homes 2. Otto Close - 12 homes The Site The Site Physical & Urban Context The urban grain of Sydenham Hill is suburban in character, owing to the steep topography of the area. This has led to disconnected branches of low-density terraced housing with individual blocks of flats, semi-detached and detached houses. Sitting at the crest of the hill, however, the site forms part of a line of prominent mansion houses. This would suggest a larger block might be an appropriate response on the Mais House site. Sydenham Hill is strongly defined by its leafy character and so retaining or reintroducing areas of outdoor space would be essential within any new development. 1 2 3 11 4 12 13 5 10 6 9 7 8 Key 1.

Castlebar The Site History: Lammas Green Completed in 1957, the Lammas Green estate is a series of Grade II listed buildings by the well respected architect Donald McMorran of Farquharson & McMorran. 1 2 Built for the City of London (CoL) the brick buildings were made with hand-made Essex Bricks and pantiled roofs. The two apartment blocks of three storeys each face the street, helping to define the entrance to the internal courtyard to the separate the community from the noise of Sydenham Hill. These blocks and the entrance to the courtyard can be seen in images 1 and 4. The other three sides of this community facing courtyard are two storey terraced homes. These respond to the site topography by stepping down the landscape ensuring level access for the residents. 3 4 1/4 2/3 SYDENHAM HILL ROAD Images 1 & 4, Copyright Will Greenwood The Site History: The Mansions As can be seen in the previous pages, the architectural character of the area until the post-war period was defined by the large, detached Mansions that were built on the ridge of 1 2 Sydenham Hill. These majority of these mansions were built during the 19th century following the relocation of Crystal Palace to the south- western end of Sydenham Hill in 1854. Castlebar is one of these homes (see images 1&2). Completed in 1879 Castlebar is representative of these homes; grand formal entrances, decorative masonry, mature trees & less formal gardens to the rear. Castlebar has since been converted and is now a nursing home adjacent to the Mais House site. Mais House is a comparatively recent development. Prior to it’s construction in the 1970’s the site was home to St Sidwells (otherwise known as Otto House). Now demolished this building shared a design language with the other Mansions on the ridge that still exist today (see images 3&4). 3 4 Key 1/2.

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. The All London Green Grid SPG was developed in parallel with the area frameworks it can be found at the following link: http://www. london.gov.uk/publication/all-london-green-grid-spg .

  • The Crystal Palace
    The Crystal Palace The Crystal Palace was a cast-iron and plate-glass structure originally The Crystal Palace built in Hyde Park, London, to house the Great Exhibition of 1851. More than 14,000 exhibitors from around the world gathered in its 990,000-square-foot (92,000 m2) exhibition space to display examples of technology developed in the Industrial Revolution. Designed by Joseph Paxton, the Great Exhibition building was 1,851 feet (564 m) long, with an interior height of 128 feet (39 m).[1] The invention of the cast plate glass method in 1848 made possible the production of large sheets of cheap but strong glass, and its use in the Crystal Palace created a structure with the greatest area of glass ever seen in a building and astonished visitors with its clear walls and ceilings that did not require interior lights. It has been suggested that the name of the building resulted from a The Crystal Palace at Sydenham (1854) piece penned by the playwright Douglas Jerrold, who in July 1850 General information wrote in the satirical magazine Punch about the forthcoming Great Status Destroyed Exhibition, referring to a "palace of very crystal".[2] Type Exhibition palace After the exhibition, it was decided to relocate the Palace to an area of Architectural style Victorian South London known as Penge Common. It was rebuilt at the top of Town or city London Penge Peak next to Sydenham Hill, an affluent suburb of large villas. It stood there from 1854 until its destruction by fire in 1936. The nearby Country United Kingdom residential area was renamed Crystal Palace after the famous landmark Coordinates 51.4226°N 0.0756°W including the park that surrounds the site, home of the Crystal Palace Destroyed 30 November 1936 National Sports Centre, which had previously been a football stadium Cost £2 million that hosted the FA Cup Final between 1895 and 1914.
