The submitted Masterplan would lead to the complete transformation of the Canada Water core area, creating a major new town centre with a diverse mix of jobs, shops, homes, leisure activities and cultural facilities. This report describes and assesses the application, including its impacts on the local area. The extent to which the application complies with the development plan is explained, including how it addresses the key objectives of the Canada Water Area Action Plan. The recommendation of the Director of Planning is that planning permission should be granted, subject to conditions and completion of a satisfactory s106 legal agreement. The resolution of the Planning Committee would be required to be referred to the Mayor for London, and the final decision notified to the Secretary of State. The report is set out as a series of chapters, relating to the following material planning considerations. More detail on each of the topics is set out in the body of the report, and supported where relevant by additional information in Appendices to the report. Chapter 1: Background information describes the site and its context. Chapter 2: The Proposed Development sets out nature of the planning application and a summary of the proposal for redevelopment of the site, including land uses, building form and heights and a description of the key documents which would be approved if planning permission is granted. Chapter 3: Relevant Planning History details the planning permissions issued on the site and key decisions relevant to neighbouring sites. Chapter 4: The Development Plan summarises the policy documents most relevant to the assessment of this planning application and the extent to which these are material considerations. Chapter 5: Consultation Summary provides an overview of the responses received to the rounds of consultation undertaken for this planning application from the public, groups and statutory bodies. The public responses were broadly supportive of the proposed redevelopment but objections were raised to specific aspects, such as the building heights, transport, daylight and sunlight impacts, and construction phase impacts. The different aspects raised by the consultation responses are considered in the different topic chapters in this report. Chapter 6: Principle of Development The principle of the redevelopment of Canada Water is established in the development plan. Policies in the Core Strategy and Canada Water Area Action Plan (AAP) support the creation of a new town centre with increased retail space, and a more intensive form of development to provide around 2,500 new homes and 2,000 jobs. Surrey Quays Shopping Centre, Surrey Quays Leisure Park and Harmsworth Quays Printworks are identified as site allocations in the AAP. The London Plan (2016) identifies Canada Water as an Opportunity Area, with minimum targets of 2,000 new jobs and 3,300 new homes with significant potential for mixed use regeneration so that the Town Centre could evolve from a District to a Major Town Centre 3 (with potential for a substantial increase above the minimum targets). Canada Water is now also a Housing Zone, with the draft London Plan establishing it as a Major Town Centre with high potential for commercial and residential growth. The proposed land uses within the Masterplan would accord with the AAP and would be suitable for a mixed use town centre. The proposal has been assessed against the series of overarching themes and objectives set out in the AAP. The scale of development is significantly higher than anticipated in the AAP and Core Strategy but is commensurate with that now set out in the draft London Plan. In principle, this level of development is considered acceptable. Later chapters of this report will consider the different environmental impacts of this scale of development. Chapter 7: Environmental Impact Assessment The proposed development exceeds all three of the suggested thresholds for an urban development project in the EIA Regulations. Therefore an Environmental Statement has been provided with the application, in line with the topics required in the council’s ‘Scoping Opinion’ issued in April 2018. The ES models the ‘worst case’ scenario of the outline part of the proposal (given its inherent flexibility) plus the detailed plots. The environmental impacts are summarised in Appendix 8. Alternative proposals and the cumulative effects both as a combination of different effects associated with the development on defined sensitive receptors, and the combined effects with other reasonably foreseeable developments near the Masterplan site are also considered. The environmental information must be taken into account when reaching a decision on this application. The particular environmental effects and mitigation measures are detailed in the relevant chapters of this report, but it is recognised that overall the development would result a range of positive environmental effects and a range of adverse environmental effects, including some adverse residual environmental effects after mitigation measures. The flexibility sought for the outline component of the development does provide an opportunity for some of the adverse effects which have been identified to be ‘designed-out’ through the subsequent Reserved Matters process. The adverse impacts must therefore be weighed in the balance with all of the other benefits and dis-benefits arising from the application, and Members are referred to the conclusion to this report which draws these issues together.

I look for- ward to us learning together. Living Streets and Highways We pray for the living streets in our neighbourhood, where our daily travels begin and end, and our love of God inspires our interactions with our neighbours. In our walks and our rides and our drives and our deliveries, God keep us safe and looking out for others. Somebody during the post-service coffee session on last Sunday's zoom call asked for more de- tails about the Highway Code Consultation. In summary the proposed changes support a heirar- chy of road-users, prioritising people who are most vulnerable to harm, starting with pedestrians, (especially children, older adults and people with disabilities) and stating more clearly how all oth- er road users can reduce the danger they may pose to others.

THE LABOUR PARTY AND BRITISH INTERVENTION IN GREECE, 1944-45 As the Second World War drew towards a close, the leader of the Labour party, Clement Attlee, was well aware of the meagre and mediocre nature of his party’s representation in the House of Lords. With the Labour leader in the Lords, Lord Addison, he hatched a plan whereby a number of worthy Labour veterans from the Commons would be elevated to the upper house in the 1945 New Years Honours List. The plan, however, was derailed at the last moment. On 19 December Attlee wrote to tell Addison that ‘it is wiser to wait a bit. We don’t want by-elections at the present time with our people in a rather emotional state on Greece – the Com[munist]s so active’.

  • Red Flag Over Bermondsey - the Ada Salter Story
    7.00 pm SATURDAY 5 DECEMBER 2015 RED FLAG OVER BERMONDSEY - THE ADA SALTER STORY Written and performed by Lynn Morris Directed by Dave Morris Where to start with Ada Salter? She was a true radical, campaigner for equal rights, socialist, republican, pacifist, environmentalist, trade union activist and a leading light in the transformation of the Bermondsey slums in the early part of the 20th century. Born into Methodism, she moved to London and became involved with the Bermondsey Settlement. She became a Quaker in 1914. She and her GP husband, Alfred Salter, dedicated their lives to the people of Bermondsey, living and working right in the heart of their community – and having to accept the tragic consequences of their choice. She and her husband were among the founders of the Independent Labour Party in Bermondsey. Ada herself broke through the glass ceiling of her time, becoming both the first woman councillor in London, and then the first woman mayor. Red Flag over Bermondsey explores the private and the public lives of Ada from 1909 until 1922, interwoven with her beloved Ira Sankey hymns and her passion for Handel. Further background about Ada (1866–1942) is to be found at www.quakersintheworld.org The performance lasts 65 minutes without interval. Lynn and Dave Morris are Journeymen theatre and they are committed to performing their work in any venue, theatre or non-theatre. Lynn and David attend Stourbridge Quaker Meeting. Visit the website at: www.journeymentheatre.com for details about the company, current and future productions, and reviews. Contact us at: [email protected] or [email protected] Admission FREE: All profits and donations from Red Flag over Bermondsey will be used to support our work with the Women’s Co-operative of Seir, West Bank, Palestine.

  • Parks, People and Nature
    Parks, People and Nature A guide to enhancing natural habitats in London’s parks and green spaces in a changing climate Natural England works for people, places and nature to conserve and enhance biodiversity, landscapes and wildlife in rural, urban, coastal and marine areas. We conserve and enhance the natural environment for its intrinsic value, iithe wellbeing and enjoyment of people, and the economic prosperity it brings. Parks, People and Nature A guide to enhancing natural habitats in London’s parks and green spaces in a changing climate Introduction My vision for London is of a green city, and a fair city, where everyone has access to a high quality green space in which wildlife can be encountered close to where they live and work. London has some of the Ýnest parks of any capital city in the world. Yet it also has some areas lacking in green space, and many more where the quality of the green spaces could be better. This booklet provides a valuable practical guide on how to improve access to nature in parks and green spaces, complimenting my London Plan Implementation Report on Improving LondonersÔ access to nature. Appropriate design and management of our parks and green spaces will be one of the key challenges that will enable the City to adapt to climate change. Park managers need to be working now to plant the trees that will provide shade for a much warmer city in the 2080s. We also need to start thinking now how our parks can help in addressing broader environmental challenges such as Þood risk management.
