While some of the concerns of businesses are overstated, it is clear that there is still some demand for car parking.

3. I am unconvinced that the car park site behind the Horse and Groom pub should be de-designated as this could be a site where commercial development could be considered before the site is given up to wholly residential uses.

4. I do not believe that the area facing Leigham Avenue underneath The High should be de- designated in addtion to the sub-station area to the East. This site is obviously a continuation of a town centre shopping parade even though the current mix (nursery/GP) is not one requiring town centre protection.

5. Please check that the precise boundary for the new western edge of the town centre and protected retail area in the new London Square development does agree to the full extent of ground floor and basement retail and servicing space rather than to the block outline of the residential development above it (Gaumont Place).

The latest census (2011) showed that 58% of Lambeth residents do not own a car. Current trends in car use show a 25% decrease in London since 1990. The GLA have recently carried out research which resulted in a report titled ‘High Streets for All’ showing that over 90% of visitors to London high streets use sustainable transport methods such as walking, cycling or public transport.

With regard to specific areas such as the car park behind the Horse and Groom, these sites are generally backland areas or sites which mean they do not need to be included in the town centre boundary andare not considered appropriate locations for retail or active frontage uses

It is worth noting that the Streatham Investment and Growth Strategy is not a Transport Strategy. The Council consulted on a draft Transport Strategy in 2018, which is available online. The Council is now developing a Transport Implementation Plan that will set out in greater detail where interventions will be delivered over the coming years, including in Streatham. The Draft Revised Lambeth Local Plan (2018) which the SIGS forms part of the evidence base for, includes aspirations to support sustainable travel and the accessibility and use of public transport through improvements to public realm and public transport facilities and measures to reduce the impact and dominance of road traffic.

The A23 is designated as TLRN (Transport for London Road Network). This means it falls within the jurisdiction of Transport for London, rather than Lambeth Council. We do, of course, work closely together to develop proposals for improvement. TfL are due to consult on their Streatham Healthy Streets Programme, which includes completion of the removal of the central reservation from Sternhold Avenue to the A205 (South Circular) and the delivery of segregated cycle infrastructure along the length of the High Street. Proposed None None P19-21 - TFL has plans to reallocate changes road space away from general traffic to cyclists, pedestrians and buses. This includes plans for a segregated cycle lane and widened footpaths. These plans are proposed to go out to public consultation in late 2019 and it is considered that they have huge potential to transform the environment of the high street.

Streatha m Action has some concerns in relation to the extent of provision of cafes and restauran ts across Streatha m as a whole. The fact that already 52% of all units fall within this category - Streatha m Action notes that the UK average is 38% - leads us to be somewh at concerne d as to any greater proliferati on of cafes and restauran ts beyond around the current number. That having been said, it is the quality of the cafes and restauran ts that have opened in Streatha m over recent years that has assisted greatly in increasin g the level of footfall on Streatha m's high street, and particular ly in relation to the nighttime economy . Streatha m Action believes that Streatha m has a fantastic offering as a nighttime economy , but still with significan t potential for improve ment in that area. For instance, Streatha m Space Project - highlight ed on the front page of this Investme nt and Growth Strategy documen t - is a fantastic new space for promotin g local talent in areas as diverse as comedy, music, plays and film. Streatha m Action would love to see Streatha m "big itself up" in the wider South London communi ty as a means of attracting more people from outside the area to come to Streatha m to experien ce its nighttime economy . Streatha m Action Transpor t will be happy to liaise with its contacts at GTR, for instance, to seek to ensure better provision of train services - more frequentl y and later finishing - into central London and further out of London, particular ly on Friday and Saturday nights. This goes not only for Streatha m Hill station - for the benefit of SSP and a number of wonderfu l restauran ts - but also for Streatha m Station - in relation in particular to Hideawa y. Streatha m Action is firmly of the belief that the one major draw for Streatha m's high street for the daytime economy - beyond seeking a major retailer such as TK Maxx to the area - would be the provision of a regular market in central Streatha m. Streatha m Action was pleased that LBL officers referred to the bid that it had submitte d for monies under the Governm ent's Future High Streets fund at the public meeting organise d by Streatha m Action and InStreath am on 7 August. Not only does Streatha m Action fully support the work of Save Streatha m Hill Theatre to bring back to active usage that fantastic venue, but also the great benefits that would come to Streatha m's daytime economy by the provision of a daily market in central Streatha m. The KwikFit site - subsequ ent to that lease being up for renewal in 2023 - would seem to be an ideal location for any such future daily or twice- weekly market.

ID Comments Lack of underground : station & TFL 13 involvement. Officer TfL has produced a Response Business Case that was submitted to DfT which considered the ‘Metroisation’ of South London to drive housing growth. The Business Case set out that Streatham Hill Station would become part of the London Overground Network and would connect to Clapham Junction and Crystal Palace. The DfT have not progressed this. Streatham Hill Station is challenged by capacity issues with one principal access via footbridge causing severe ingress and egress issues at peak times. In addition, the station has a short platform. Given the strategic importance of this station and the development potential in and around the station significant potential exists to support growth through re-development of this site – this is reflected in Objective 5 of the Strategy.

It considers both main and residential roads.  Streatham Town Center is not an inviting space for pedestrians as it is dominated by fast flowing, heavy traffic; speed is causing number of serious collisions every year (especially on A2), noise does not invite visitors to spend on the streets more time than necessary, high levels of pollution has adverse impact on residents’ health  Residential roads do not provide respite as those are choked by rat racing drivers trying to avoid the main roads, the speeding on residential road is an additional issue, making it a very unsafe environment for pedestrians and cyclist  Mini Holland schemes should be introduced to Streatham. Example should b e taken from Walthamstow Forest, where those solutions have proven significant reduction in road traffic as residents and visitors shifted to more sustainable way of travel.  Facilities needed for more sustainable mode of transport (i.e. secure bike parking, quiet routes which are not dominated by traffic)  School Streets are needed to provide safe and healthy environment for school runs  Green barriers and green routes are needed to provide a respite from the noise and filter out the pollutants  Work with TfL is needed to ensure that buses (which are the main source of public transport along Streatham) meet the strictest air quality criteria  Traffic free town square is a place where small, local businesses can attract people to shop, meet and socialise.

The Council is now developing a Transport Implementation Plan that will set out in greater detail where interventions will be delivered over the coming years, including in Streatham. The Draft Revised Lambeth Local Plan (2018) which the SIGS forms part of the evidence base for, includes aspirations to support sustainable travel and the accessibility and use of public transport through improvements to public realm and public transport facilities and measures to reduce the impact and dominance of road traffic.

The A23 is designated as TLRN (Transport for London Road Network). This means it falls within the jurisdiction of Transport for London, rather than Lambeth Council. We do, of course, work closely together to develop proposals for improvement. TfL are due to consult on their Streatham Healthy Streets Programme, which includes completion of the removal of the central reservation from Sternhold Avenue to the A205 (South Circular) and the delivery of segregated cycle infrastructure along the length of the High Street.

Lastly, the issue of A boards and use of footways for display of goods is not covered, both of which can detract from the pedestrian environment where there is limited footway space.

Areas should have a minimum of 50% A1 retail. The 2015 Lambeth Local Plan set the minimum threshold at 60%. So, we’re proposing a reduction of 10%. This reflects the relative under- performance of A1 uses in Streatham, as elsewhere. Currently Streatham Hill Primary Shopping Area has 49% A1 retail. This means that any planning application for a non A1 use is likely to be refused planning permission even if the use is desirable, e.g. creative spaces, workspaces, gyms, etc. Making the PSA smaller therefore allows planners greater flexibility to approve uses other than A1 retail, addressing the issue of Streatham town centre’s diversity and resilience – objective 2 in the Streatham Investment and Growth Strategy. Existing businesses will not be affected by the proposed boundary change. The proposed amendment will only be relevant if or when a planning application is made. This will also help avoid planning applications on vacant units being refused on policy grounds, even if the use is desirable. Businesses outside the PSA would remain within the town centre boundary.

Proposed Proposed text on p19- changes 21:

TFL has plans to reallocate road space away from general traffic to cyclists, pedestrians and buses. This includes plans for a segregated cycle lane and widened footpaths. These plans are proposed to go out to public consultation in late 2019 and it is considered that they have huge potential to transform the environment of the high street.

ID Comments The appearance of the shops on the : high road matters. I note that one of 61 the photos you've chosen is the top of Leigham Court Rd, a good choice as the shops are single height so look attractive. If the shops with accommodation/offices etc. above them could be made to look in keeping with each other & be sympathetically connected to their neighbours we'd really be onto something. One of the greatest eyesores are the two or three shops opposite Streatham Station which have stood empty for years. I understand that this is because they are owned by the railway & they're concerned that the bridge isn't strong or safe enough for them to be used. So are they going to be empty forever?! With the open spaces that, unfortunately are used by alcoholics, would it be an idea to make them more family friendly? At the moment they are no go areas for many of us. But well done! Great to know that more investment is on the way. P.S. More plants; more attractive bins; more help for drug/alcohol addicts.

With regards to car parking, the latest census (2011) showed that 58% of Lambeth residents do not own a car. Current trends in car use show a 25% decrease in London since 1990. The GLA have recently carried out research which resulted in a report titled ‘High Streets for All’ showing that over 90% of visitors to London high streets use sustainable transport methods such as walking, cycling or public transport. The Draft Revised Lambeth Local Plan, which the Strategy forms part of the evidence base for, includes aspirations to support sustainable travel and the accessibility and use of public transport through improvements to public realm and public transport facilities and measures to reduce the impact and dominance of road traffic. Therefore there are no plans to increase parking in Streatham.
