  • Core Strategy Vision and Objectives
    1. Introduction Your chance to help shape the future of Bromley We would like you to help us develop the long-term planning strategy for the London Borough of Bromley. This strategy needs to show roughly where any new development should go and, how much development there should be, over the next 20 years. We are starting with what is known as the “Core Strategy” - the top-level document where we set the general direction for the future of the borough - but once this is prepared we will produce other documents with policies to guide the detail of any development. So, is this the “Core Strategy”? No, this is just the first step towards a Core Strategy. This document presents a wide range of information about the Borough and its places and suggests some of the key issues for the future. We are asking everyone with an interest in Bromley to tell us what they think about the issues we have identified – are they the right issues? Are there any more issues that our planning strategy needs to consider? Once we have agreed on the main issues, it’s time to look at the ways of tackling them – again, we’ll be asking for everyone to get involved by telling us what they think and whether anything has been missed. After this we’ll be able to produce a draft Core Strategy which will contain policies that can be used to guide development – this is the document that will be submitted to the Government for checking. Overall, this process will take about two years.

  • Black Dog Publishing Hello
    SPRING 2013 BLACK DOG PUBLISHING HELLO Introducing Black Dog Publishing’s Spring 2013 list, we are pleased to announce a wide variety of new titles on an extensive range of engaging subjects. It is a pleasure to dedicate a large part of this catalogue to, more than ever, new art and design titles: the first, Colour in the Making: From Old Wisdom to New Brilliance (p. 6) is a visual survey of art and design told through the materials of colour, from the discovery and use of early earth pigments to organic chemistry and contemporary dyes. Following this, Design That Matters: The Challenge for Contemporary Design (p. 30) is an illustrated reader on ethical issues in twenty-first century design, from the challenges of consumerism to our ever pressing concerns for the environment and Arthouse (p. 10) explores how artists have used the form and concept of the house in disparate work over the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Exploring more recent trends in art, Art and the Internet (p. 8) examines the legacy of the internet and illuminates how and why artists are using it, whilst Seeing is Believing: The Politics of the Visual (p. 20) investigates the politics of visual communication and the way we process information ‘streamed’ to us via various media. We also introduce the sixth title in our ARTWORLD series: Contemporary Art in Germany, Austria and Switzerland (p. 12), exploring the thriving contemporary art scene of each of these countries; with the series now available in paperback and at a reduced pricepoint. Continuing our commitment to producing visually appealing and expertly informed music titles, in this season we delve into underground music in the United States in the early 1980s and 90s, with the visual reader Late Century Dream: Movements in the US Indie Music Underground (p.

  • 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.

  • Lewisham May 2018
    Traffic noise maps of public parks in Lewisham May 2018 This document shows traffic noise maps for parks in the borough. The noise maps are taken from http://www.extrium.co.uk/noiseviewer.html. Occasionally, google earth or google map images are included to help the reader identify where the park is located. Similar documents are available for all London Boroughs. These were created as part of research into the impact of traffic noise in London’s parks. They should be read in conjunction with the main report and data analysis which are available at http://www.cprelondon.org.uk/resources/item/2390-noiseinparks. The key to the traffic noise maps is shown here to the right. Orange denotes noise of 55 decibels (dB). Louder noises are denoted by reds and blues with dark blue showing the loudest. Where the maps appear with no colour and are just grey, this means there is no traffic noise of 55dB or above. London Borough of Lewisham 1 1. Pepys Park 2. Deptford park 3. Sayes Court Park 2 4.

  • How the 'Seven Deadly Agents Of
    Paper presented at the How the ‘Seven Deadly Agents of Destruction’ conference can help preserve the Crystal Palace Dinosaurs Liesa Brierley, Ellinor Michel, Anthony Lewis, Chris Aldhous and Lois Olmstead Introduction Compared to collections kept safe inside museums, outdoor sculpture is affected by additional risk factors. Sculpture in the public realm is exposed to the elements, pollution and direct sunshine. It is more vulnerable to vandalism and the proximity to nature can also take its toll. At the same time, the condition of outdoor sculpture is often not monitored as rigorously as that of museum collections. However, damage doesn’t go unnoticed by the public and, channelled in the right way, the public’s critical eye can be turned to positive pressure, increasing support for conservation work and helping to improve conditions for the displays. To conservation professionals, the Canadian Conservation Institute’s framework of Ten Agents of Deterioration is a familiar and well-established way of describing risk factors to cultural heritage. This paper describes an attempt to translate this framework into a short animated film about risks to outdoor sculpture, using the Crystal Palace Dinosaurs, a renowned Victorian sculpture park in south London, as the stage for the message. The film is aimed at a broad audience of non-professionals of all ages and it is hoped that it will deliver an increased sense of both understanding and ownership of the sculpture park. The Crystal Palace Dinosaurs The Crystal Palace Dinosaurs are the first life-sized sculptural reconstructions of extinct animals, built to engage and enlighten the public on the paradigm- shifting advances in science in the mid-19th century (Owen 1854, McCarthy and Gilbert 1994, Pigott 2004, Bramwell and Peck 2008).

  • Green Spirit -Glendale's Spring 2011 Newsletter.Pub
    Issue 5 The Previous 10-Year Partnership by Molly Hingston Summer 2011 Glendale’s partnership with the London Borough of Lewisham has attracted national recognition for putting parks and open spaces at the heart of local communities. A unique combination of proven green expertise, investment, innovation and accountability successfully met the challenge to revitalise Lewisham’s green spaces. The following highlights some of the achievements and successes of the previous 10-year partnership; 2000 In the year 2000, the partnership between the Borough of Lewisham and Glendale began by a unique private finance initiative investment scheme. Over a three-year period Lewisham received a £1.5m investment from Glendale to finance improvements to parks and green spaces. One of the projects included a £340,000 investment at Chinbrook Meadows to develop the sports pavilion, playground and cricket pitch. 2001 The following year, 2001, Lewisham was awarded the ‘London in Bloom’ award for the ‘Most improved Borough’. The first ever catering facility in the parks opened at Manor House Gardens.
