Introduction This Planning Statement has been prepared by WSP | Indigo on behalf of the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority (“the Park Authority”) in support of a full planning application for the proposed redevelopment of the Lee Valley Ice Centre (“LVIC”) to provide a state-of-the-art, twin-Olympic pad ice sports facility. The Park Authority owns a number of world-class sporting and recreation facilities. As part of its remit, the Authority is creating a zone of sporting excellence throughout the Park. The proposed redevelopment seeks to provide an ice venue of an exceptional design quality which is able to meet existing and future demand for ice sports. The key purpose of the proposed redevelopment is to deliver an Olympic quality twin-pad ice facility that will serve as a specialist, regional ice facility for London and the South East. The proposals for the ice centre have been developed with expert input from ice specialists, IPW…and internationally renowned architects, FaulknerBrown, to ensure that the facility will be exemplar in design and offer, ensuring that it is suitable for elite and community users. The multi-purpose facility will serve as an anchor sporting facility at this gateway location into the Lee Valley Regional Park (“the Regional Park”). The Application This application seeks the: “Phased demolition of the existing building and erection of a new community twin pad ice centre, including changing rooms, gym including exercise studio, café and service areas. Amendments to the existing car parking area to provide integrated swales, landscape and biodiversity enhancements.” The proposed development would comprise of a high quality sports facility which will further enhance the Regional Park’s portfolio of iconic venues. The proposed replacement ice centre would be located on the site of the existing ice centre. The key principles which have shaped the proposed development are the need to deliver: • More ‘ice time’ for all users including social skaters from the local community; • A programme that will accommodate new and under-represented ice sports at the venue, and introduce new participants to them; • An Olympic quality venue with a regional catchment; • A high quality, sensitive design which responds to its landscape context; • Ecological enhancements to the surrounding landscape, including the River Lea and oxbow lake; • A sustainable venue with a minimum BREEAM rating of ‘Very Good’; • New facilities for visitors such as a gym, an exercise studio and a café; • An attractive sports facility that will encourage healthy lifestyles; and • Continuity of ice provision during redevelopment, as far as possible. Lee Valley ice centre Ref: 03210010 WSP | Indigo on behalf of Lee Valley Regional Park Authority Page 2 The Purpose and Scope of this Statement The purpose of this Planning Statement is to explain and assess the proposed development in the context of policies in the adopted development plan and other material considerations. The Statement is structured as follows. • Section 2 introduces the key context for the proposals, the background to the Lee Valley Regional Park and the Park Authority, and the existing Lee Valley Ice Centre. • Section 3 summarises the application site and the proposed development. • Section 4 covers the pre-application consultation and engagement with key stakeholders. • Sections 5, 6 and 7 set out the key policy context and material considerations for the application. This provides the basis upon which the proposals are assessed in the following sections. • Section 8 summarises a piece of key case law that should be taken into account in the determination of the application. • Sections 9 – 13 contain the key supporting arguments that comprise the case for Very Special Circumstances, which underpins the principle of development and the acceptability of the proposed development. • Other key planning considerations, not addressed in the previous chapters but still of importance in assessing the application are included in Section 14. • Section 15 provides a final summary of the case for Very Special Circumstances, weighed against the harm to openness and any other harm. • Finally, Section 16 provides an overall summary and conclusion of this Planning Statement. Other Application Documents This Planning Statement forms part of the submission package for the application for planning permission and should be read in conjunction with the following supporting documents: • Planning application forms and ownership certificates, prepared by WSP | Indigo; • CIL-Additional Information Requirement Form, prepared by WSP | Indigo; • Existing and proposed set of drawings, prepared by FaulknerBrowns; • Design and Access Statement (including the Landscape Scheme prepared by LDA Design, Crime Prevention/Safer Places Report prepared by Arup and Fire Statement prepared by OFR Consultants) prepared by FaulknerBrowns; • Landscape masterplan, prepared by LDA Design; • Landscape Visual Impact Assessment, prepared by LDA Design; • Ecological Appraisal, Biodiversity Impact Assessment, Updated Ecology Surveys and Ecology BREEAM Assessment, prepared by LDA Design; • Arboricultural Impact Assessment and Arboricultural Method Statement, prepared by Patrick Stileman Ltd; Lee Valley ice centre Ref: 03210010 WSP | Indigo on behalf of Lee Valley Regional Park Authority Page 3 • Tree Survey Report, prepared by Patrick Stileman Ltd;

This royal visit was greeted with great enthusiasm by the thousands of people who came to see their by Queen when she passed by, as their forefathers had done for other sovereigns down through the ages . Georgina Green My purpose in writing this little book is to tell how the ordinary people have used Epping Fo rest in the past, but came to enjoy it only in more recent times. I hope to give the reader a glimpse of what life was like for those who have lived here throughout the ages and how, by using the Forest, they have physically changed it over the centuries. The Romans, Saxons and Normans have each played their part, while the Forest we know today is one of the few surviving examples of Medieval woodland management. The Tudor monarchs and their courtiers frequently visited the Forest, wh ile in the 18th century the grandeur of Wanstead House attracted sight-seers from far and wide. The common people, meanwhile, were mostly poor farm labourers who were glad of the free produce they could obtain from the Forest. None of the Forest ponds are natural . some of them having been made accidentally when sand and gravel were extracted . while others were made by Man for a variety of reasons.

The Park attracts over 7 million visits each year largely drawn from London, Hertfordshire and Essex but given the international status of its venues increasingly from across the United Kingdom and abroad. The Regional Park lies at the centre of one of Europe’s largest regeneration areas which includes London 2012 and its Legacy, major developments in the lower Lee Valley, Meridian Water and a range of large schemes coming forward in Epping Forest District and the Borough of Broxbourne.
