My role is also to consider the soundness of the submitted CS against the advice set out in paragraphs 4.51 – 4.52 of Planning Policy Statement 12 (PPS 12). In line with national policy, the starting point for the examination is the assumption that the local authority has submitted what it considers to be a sound plan. 1.4 The changes I have specified in this report are made only where there is a clear need to amend the document in the light of the legal requirements and/or to make the document sound in accordance with PPS 12. Annexes A and B contain schedules of changes. I have used the Council’s suggested wording, unless stated otherwise. 1.5 The changes set out in Annex A (prefix IC) are those required to make the DPD sound. For the most part, these changes arose out of further work undertaken by the Council in response to concerns I raised at an Exploratory Meeting held in June 2009. They were subject to public consultation between September and November 2009, and post-submission sustainability appraisal (SA) in September 2009. A further change which came forward during the hearing sessions was subject to targeted public consultation in February 2010, after the hearing sessions finished. 1.6 Annex B (prefix MC) are Proposed Minor Changes. Some of these changes were put forward in the statements prepared by the Council for the hearing sessions, some in response to matters arising at the hearings themselves and the remainder were identified as part of a proof reading exercise. They add clarity to the DPD by sign-posting how and where strategic policies are being carried forward in subsequent DPDs; update the DPD where necessary; deal with minor typographical errors and improve grammar without changing the thrust of the strategy. As these minor changes are not required to address soundness issues, I have not dealt with them in detail in my report. However, I believe their inclusion is required to ensure that the CS is clear, up-to-date, coherent and easily understood. 1.7 My overall conclusion is that the London Borough of Wandsworth Core Strategy DPD is sound, provided it is changed in the ways specified in Annex A. The principal changes required are, in summary: 3 a) To amend Policies PL 5 (provision of new homes) and IS 5 (achieving a mix of housing), together with the supporting text, to require housing targets, including affordable housing targets and the tenure split between affordable rented and intermediate affordable housing, to be reviewed when the replacement London Plan is adopted. b) To amend Policy IS 5 c (affordable housing) so that the definition accords with national guidance; to ensure the trigger for affordable housing provision is consistent with the London Plan; to specify the proportion of affordable housing required based on the findings of the Affordable Housing Economic Viability Assessment, and to clarify the circumstances in which a site specific economic viability assessment will be required; to signpost that other housing policies will be included in the Development Management Policies Document. c) To amend Policy IS 5 g (gypsy and traveller accommodation) and the supporting text to refer to the estimated requirement for additional pitches in the plan period 2017/18 - 2021/22; clarify the role of the Site Specific Allocations Document in meeting future needs; indicate how demand for, and provision of, additional pitches will be monitored and reviewed. d) To amend policies relating to the locations where tall buildings may be acceptable (Policies IS 3, PL 11, PL 12, PL 13, PL 14) to reflect the Council’s Stage 1 Urban Design Statement and to acknowledge the ongoing work in the Stage 2 Urban Design Statement and lower level DPDs. e) To replace Policy IS 7 b (planning obligations) with a new section which refers to the Council’s intention to develop a Supplementary Planning Document on Planning Obligations and an associated Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) charging schedules to support the provision of infrastructure projects. f) To amend Policy PL 7 (waste management) and supporting text to confirm the Council’s role as waste planning authority; set out the DPDs which provide the spatial delivery tool to implement the Municipal Waste Management Strategy; refer to the movement of waste up the waste hierarchy; correct the estimate of land required to meet the London Plan waste apportionment figures; ensure this requirement is reviewed when the replacement London Plan is published. g) To amend Policy PL 11 (Nine Elms and adjoining areas in north east Battersea) the supporting text so that targets for homes and jobs and the quantum/mix of development permissible in the Vauxhall Nine Elms Battersea Opportunity Area (VNEBOA) are reviewed when work on the VNEBOA Planning Framework is complete, and that the outcomes are fed into the Spatial Strategy for the Queenstown Road to Nine Elms area coming forward in the Site Specific Allocations Document DPD. h) To substitute the revised Infrastructure Delivery Table. 1.8 My report firstly considers the legal requirements, and then deals with the relevant matters and issues considered during the 4 examination in terms of justification, effectiveness and consistency with national policy. 2 Legal Requirements 2.1 The London Borough of Wandsworth Core Strategy is contained in the Council’s Local Development Scheme (LDS), the most recent LDS having been approved in January 2010. The CS was submitted to the Secretary of State for examination in the timescale specified. In response to issues of significant concern identified at an Exploratory Meeting in June 2009, further work was undertaken by the Council over the summer of 2009, whilst the examination was suspended for 11 weeks. This caused some slippage in the anticipated timing of the Pre-Hearing Meeting (PHM) and the hearing sessions. However, it should be possible to adopt the DPD by September 2010, as envisaged in the LDS. 2.2 The Council’s Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) was adopted in January 2007. It is evident from the documents submitted by the Council, including the Regulation 25, 26 and 30 (e) Statements and its Legal Compliance Self-Assessment Statement that the Council has met the requirements as set out in the Regulations. 2.3 Alongside the preparation of the DPD, it is evident that the Council has carried out a parallel process of sustainability appraisal. 2.4 The screening assessment of the CS identifies two Special Areas of Conservation (SAC): Wimbledon Common (part of which lies within the borough) and Richmond Park, which lies on the borough boundary. In accordance with the Regulations contained in Articles 6(3) and (4) of the Habitats Directive, the Council carried out a Habitats Regulations Assessment. The report concludes that the policies contained in the CS are not likely to have a significant effect on either the Wimbledon Common or Richmond Park Special Areas of Conservation, and therefore an “Appropriate Assessment” is not required. Natural England agreed with the Council’s general conclusion. Accordingly I am satisfied that the Appropriate Assessment stage of the DPD is not required. 2.5 Subject to the changes in Annex A, I am satisfied that the DPD has regard to national policy. 2.6 By letter dated 22 October 2008 the Mayor of London indicated that the CS was not in general conformity with the London Plan in respect of three main matters. Firstly, the reference to “net” rather than “gross” units in Policy IS 5 relating to the trigger for affordable housing contributions.

My fellow Governors and I pay tribute to the leadership and support shown by Mr Rupert Hambro, Chairman of the Board of Governors from 1998 to 2005. There were many significant achievements during this period, in particular the refurbishment of galleries at London Wall, the first stage of the major redevelopment of the London Wall site, the opening of the Museum in Docklands and the establishment and opening of the London Archaeological Archive and Research Centre at Mortimer Wheeler House.The first stage of the London Wall site redevelopment included a new entrance, foyer and the Linbury gallery, substantially funded by the Linbury Trust.The Museum is grateful to Lord Sainsbury for his continuing support.There were also some spectacular acquisitions such as the Henry Nelson O’Neil’s paintings purchased with the help of the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Introduction National Art Collections Fund and the V&A Purchase Fund.

  • Roehampton Mounting Block Information Board
    MOUNTING BLOCK 1654 1654: This mounting block and unofficial milestone, to help horse-riders dismount and remount, was set up at or near this site by Thomas Nuthall of Roehampton, perhaps to mark his appointment as local surveyor of roads. 1787: A passing traveller described it, with drawings, in a letter to The Gentleman’s Magazine (the first known record of it), signed anonymously J.L. of D____, Kent. Apart from MYLS THREE SCORE Richmond Park from LONDON TOWNE, the inscriptions, most now lost, are largely enigmatic. Ogilby had two London-Portsmouth distances: a ‘dimensuration’ of 73½ miles, close to the present official distance, and 9 miles from Cornhill a ‘vulgar computation’ of 60 miles. J.L. wrote that it was “opposite the 9-mile stone.” (see below) 1814/1821: Mentioned by Manning & Bray (1814) and Thomas Kitson Cromwell (1821) but then lost, perhaps removed for road improvements. 1921: Rediscovered during the demolition of a barn in Parish Yard, off Wandsworth High Street (opposite the end of Putney Bridge Road). How it came to be there is a mystery. It was identified by local historian and nurseryman Ernest Dixon, who purchased it and displayed it in his nurseries (later garage) on West Hill. It was subsequently moved to the garden of a local house, then stored at Wandsworth Museum and the University of Roehampton. 2018: Re-installed at or near its original site.
