  • Imagining the Elephant Visioning Workshop 4Th June 2011 Summary Report
    Imagining the Elephant Visioning Workshop 4th June 2011 Summary Report Elephant Amenity Network June 2011 http://elephantamenity.wordpress.com/ Introduction • Lend Lease, the council‟s developer for the Heygate Estate area, will soon be releasing its masterplan for the area. It is now over 5 years since any public consultation has taken place on how the area might look in the future, and the Elephant Amenity Network stepped into the breach with a public event on Saturday 4th June at Crossways Church SE17 1SL. • The aim of the event was to identify about what benefits people want to see from the regeneration and to imagine together what could be achieved - to help influence the regeneration which is due to take place over the next 15 years. The event was based around a series of workshops led by local people with intimate knowledge of the topics. Each workshop lasted 90 minutes, with detailed notes taken and noting areas of agreement for things that must be done and things that mustn‟t be done, as well as noting where further debate was needed. • An introductory plenary session led by Stephen Hill set out the principles of the theory of “placemaking”. This involves a participative process that facilitates people‟s inbuilt drive to shape the “places”/ areas in which they live to be channelled positively. He concluded that the professions and government have much to learn from communities, and that this is to their political and professional advantage. • This document summarises the discussions that took place in these workshops, and summarises the factors and processes that we will look to those leading the regeneration to address and incorporate.

  • Elephant and Castle Fountain a Bronze Sculpture by Sam Keil
    Elephant and Castle Fountain A bronze sculpture by Sam Keil A great deal of preliminary work was done over many years incorporating my bronze sculp- ture into the building plans of the previous company responsible for the Elephant and Castle redevelopment. In particular my idea for a bronze elephant mounted on a tower, intended to be incorporated into a fountain in a new square, was designed to symbolize the regeneration and revitalization of the heart of London. Now everything is under new management, I have prepared a resubmission of one my earlier proposals for your consideration. In a subversion of the traditional rather staid symbol of the area, my elephant will be standing on its hind legs on top of a tall castle tower, in the act of leaping into the air with its water-spraying trunk raised high in triumph. An artist’s conception of this – not intended to be an accurate representation of the final sculpture – is above. The youthful, vibrant elephant will be designed to be ‘cute’ and appealing to children; it is intended that this creature and its surrounding water feature will be a focal point for the new square and in time become a well-known symbol of the area. The proposal is very strongly supported by Southwark Council (see attached letter) and a number of other interested parties. Various other supporting documents, including further examples of my work now on public display in London, are also attached. 1 A formal quote (attached) has been obtained for the cost of manufacture from my long-term collaborators at Arch Bronze foundry in Putney; the total price would by £58000 + VAT.

Mix of uses: The mix of proposed residential, retail, leisure and educational uses is strongly supported for this CAZ location. The applicant, nevertheless, needs to work with Southwark and existing occupiers to progress the detail of its business relocation strategy (paragraphs 23 to 31). Housing: The proposed build to rent housing contribution (35% affordable) is strongly supported pending an independent viability review (paragraphs 32 to 45).

Introduction The Elephant and Castle Leisure Centre was built in the late 1960s, and since 2000 has been managed by Fusion. The centre is located at 22 Elephant and Castle, SE1 6SQ. At its peak the centre enjoyed over 232,000 visitors in 2008, and in 2009 the number of visitors was 173,691. On 7 July 2010 the council agreed to enter into a regeneration agreement with Lend Lease, paving the way for an historic £1.5 billion regeneration of the Elephant and Castle. The council also agreed to explore the options for providing a new leisure facility at the Elephant and Castle which, should the facility go ahead will be paid for by the council. One of the primary funding sources for leisure facilities is anticipated to be payments made under the regeneration agreement with Lend Lease. Both the redevelopment of the Heygate Estate and the existing leisure facility will contribute to the council achieving its vision for the Elephant and Castle.
