It builds on the work which was undertaken as part of the Stage 1 Urban Design Statement (2009), which identified broad areas where tall buildings may be appropriate. The Stage 2 Urban Design Study - Tall Buildings, further tests and refines the assessment of those areas where tall buildings may be appropriate, to provide locational guidance for tall building development within these broad locations. This work will feed into the consideration of a site's appropriateness for tall buildings in the Site Specific Allocations Document (SSAD). 1.2 In addition to the detailed analysis of areas that may be appropriate for tall buildings, this report considers the prevailing height of development in the rest of the borough, where tall buildings are likely to be inappropriate, in order to determine what will be considered a ‘tall building’ in different contexts. 1.3 Finally, the report sets out detailed considerations for the assessment of tall buildings, to raise the standard of tall building development in the borough. This will guide policy to be included in the Development Management Policies Document (DMDP). Background 1.4 Best practice guidance published by English Heritage (EH) and Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) advises that local authorities should carry out a detailed urban design study to inform the process of identifying locations where tall buildings would and would not be appropriate. Wandsworth’s approach has been to formulate Core Strategy policy for tall buildings on the basis of a high level urban design analysis. 1.5 The high level urban design analysis drew on a range of urban design material prepared by the Council and identified broad locations which may be suitable for tall buildings. The Stage 1 Study also supported the overall rationale that generally throughout much of the borough, tall buildings are likely to be considered inappropriate. 1.6 The tall buildings policy was debated at the Examination, and the Policy as amended by the Inspector's binding report, and now contained within the adopted Core Strategy, reads as follows: "Policy IS3 d. Tall buildings, that is those which are substantially taller than the prevailing height of neighbouring buildings and/or which significantly change the skyline, may be appropriate in the borough's town centres, Nine Elms near Vauxhall or Putney Wharf, Wandsworth Riverside Quarter, Wandle Delta, Ransomes Dock and Battersea Power Station focal points of activity (as illustrated on Map 16). Some locations 4 Wandsworth Stage 2 Urban Design Study – Tall Buildings within these areas will be sensitive to, or inappropriate for, tall buildings. Applications for tall buildings will need to justify themselves in terms of the benefits they may bring for regeneration, townscape and public realm and be of high architectural quality, respect local context and the historic environment. Tall buildings are likely to be inappropriate in other areas. Detailed criteria for the assessment of tall buildings, consideration of the appropriateness of tall buildings on individual sites, and the heights at which buildings will be considered 'tall' on individual sites will be contained in the Development Management Policies Document and Site Specific Allocations Document. e. Views of the Westminster World Heritage Site will be protected in accordance with the London Plan and the London View Management Framework." 1.7 The broad locations identified in Policy IS3 are further assessed in section 2 of this report. 5 Wandsworth Stage 2 Urban Design Study – Tall Buildings Areas for further analysis 1.8 The Stage 1 Urban Design Study identified the following locations as locations which may be suitable for tall buildings. There are some locations within these areas which may be sensitive to, or inappropriate for, tall buildings. Wandsworth Town Centre Clapham Junction Town Centre Putney Town Centre and Putney Wharf Focal Point Balham Town Centre Tooting Town Centre Nine Elms near Vauxhall Wandsworth Riverside Quarter Focal Point and Wandle Delta Proposed Focal Point Ransomes Dock Focal Point Battersea Power Station Proposed Focal Point Nine Elms Battersea Locations where Tall Buildings may be Appropriate Power near Vauxhall nStatio Ransomes Dock Town Centre Focal Point Proposed focal point Nine Elms near Vauxhall Wandsworth Riverside Putney Wharf Quarter Clapham Putney Wandle Delta Junction Wandsworth Balham Tooting 6 Wandsworth Stage 2 Urban Design Study – Tall Buildings Methodology Detailed Area Studies 1.9 The detailed area studies of the broad locations identified above have been carried out using the following methodology: Policy review - The relevant Core Strategy policies have been reviewed and summarised in relation to each area. The London View Management Framework and Vauxhall Nine Elms Battersea Opportunity Area Planning Framework have been reviewed for implications in relation to strategic views and building heights. Street level audits - Site visits of each of the broad locations were undertaken to analyse urban form and character and determine logical study area boundaries. The assessment included consideration of opportunities and constraints such as existing built form, listed buildings, conservation areas and other relevant considerations. Analysis of aerial photography and GIS data - Desk based analysis was used to complement information obtained from the street level audits. Borough-wide tall building characterisation 1.10 Core Strategy Policy IS3d states that in the remainder of the borough (i.e. outside the town centres, focal points of activity and Nine Elms near Vauxhall) tall buildings are likely to be inappropriate. It is necessary to have an understanding of what constitutes a tall building in the remainder of the borough, and this report provides this information which is not only based on a characterisation of prevailing heights, but provides an analysis of how past developments which have proved to be an unsatisfactory model, could potentially be improved by redevelopment. Tall Building Assessment Guidance and Policy Recommendations 1.11 The information obtained through both the detailed area studies and the borough-wide tall building characterisation exercise has informed development of the final phase of work, which includes application checklists and concludes with policy recommendations for inclusion in the DMPD and SSAD. 7 Wandsworth Stage 2 Urban Design Study – Tall Buildings 2 Detailed Area Studies 2.1 This section contains a Detailed Area Study for each of the areas identified as potentially suitable for tall buildings. The analysis begins with a description of the locality and its policy context. A detailed urban characterisation then describes the historic environment, including listed buildings and conservation areas, landmark buildings, open space, topography, proximity to residential areas and other relevant information. Transport to and from the area is then discussed, followed by development opportunities. The final section draws on the information in the urban characterisation to consider the form of development appropriate for the area, and whether sites

  • Listening to and Understanding the Local Community of St Peter's
    Listening to and understanding the local community of St Peter’s Church, Battersea by Samuel Verbi and Ben Winkley - Eido Research Introduction Contents “If your church building were a person, 3 what would it be like?” Introduction Nigel Walter, Church Buildings for People 1 About the local area Methodology Churches are typically places that are familiar, welcoming, and valuable to congregation Demographics members and Christians in general. As places of worship they offer a space for members to connect with each other and God, in a well known setting. 1. Identifying needs 8 And yet we rarely consider how our church building is seen by those who aren’t members of the congregation and how it could bring value and benefit to our local communities and Local knowledge residents. Fractured community Lack of activities What are the needs that this building could help meet? And ultimately, if our building were a person, how it could serve those in society who need it the most? 2. How could St Peter’s respond? 12 With a new church building set for completion in Autumn 2018, it is answers to these questions that St Peter’s church wanted to know. With a vision to “share the love of Jesus Which groups should St Peter’s be helping? in Battersea and beyond”, the church wanted to learn how they could use their new building Youth and elderly to “serve those most in need” in the local community. 2 Creating a safe space Following consultation in 2017, St Peter’s asked Eido to learn from the local community exactly what those needs are, and how they can best meet them with their new building.
