  • The Isle of Dogs: Four Development Waves, Five Planning Models, Twelve
    Progress in Planning 71 (2009) 87–151 www.elsevier.com/locate/pplann The Isle of Dogs: Four development waves, five planning models, twelve plans, thirty-five years, and a renaissance ... of sorts Matthew Carmona * The Bartlett School of Planning, UCL, 22 Gordon Street, London WC1H 0QB, United Kingdom Abstract The story of the redevelopment of the Isle of Dogs in London’s Docklands is one that has only partially been told. Most professional and academic interest in the area ceased following the property crash of the early 1990s, when the demise of Olympia & York, developers of Canary Wharf, seemed to bear out many contemporary critiques. Yet the market bounced back, and so did Canary Wharf, with increasingly profound impacts on the rest of the Island. This paper takes an explicitly historical approach using contemporaneous professional critiques and more reflective academic accounts of the planning and development of the Isle of Dogs to examine whether we can now conclude that an urban renaissance has taken place in this part of London. An extensive review of the literature is supplemented with analysis of physical change on the ground and by analysis of the range of relevant plans and policy documents that have been produced to guide development over the 35-year period since the regeneration began. The paper asks: What forms of planning have we seen on the Island; what role has design played in these; what outcomes have resulted from these processes; and, as a result, have we yet seen an urban renaissance? # 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

Our vision for the Lea River Park is for high quality, accessible parkland incorporating open space and waterways with new walking and cycling routes which will add to the decades of investment in transport infrastructure that have gone into the borough, enabling our community to be even better connected. Running through the spine of the borough’s key opportunity area, the park and improved connections will help to attract further investment into the borough whilst providing high quality leisure and recreational space to those who live and work here. With the scale of regeneration taking place in Newham, it makes us one of the most exciting places to visit in the UK.

  • Bus Services in South Tower Hamlets and Surrounds
    Bus Services In South Tower Hamlets And Surrounds TfL Surface Transport – Buses Directorate January 2014 1. BACKGROUND 1.1 This note seeks to understand what impact new development and rail enhancements (both planned and recently delivered) will have on the South Tower Hamlets bus network and how the network might change in response to the impact. South Tower Hamlets focuses mainly on Wapping and the Isle of Dogs but, inevitably, the results of the investigation extend beyond this to include most of Tower Hamlets and parts of the neighbouring boroughs. 1.2 The area has been the subject of previous reviews, particularly focusing on the Isle of Dogs. Reviews in 2003 and 2007 increased capacity on routes serving the island to accommodate the increased demand generated by new development. The 2007 review proposed the 135 which came into service in May 2008. Both reviews also proposed links to the east. Initially this was an extension of the D7 to Canning Town which was replaced by an extension of route 330 to the Isle of Dogs. Neither of these eastern extensions were implemented, in part due to developer contributions not being forthcoming. 1.3 In addition, routes in the study area have been continually monitored and adjusted to take account of changes in the area. Routes relevant to the study area have evolved as follows over the past 10 years: Route 135 introduced (May 2008) operating at up to 6 buses per hour (bph). Route 277 increased in frequency from 8 to 9 bph Monday – Saturday daytimes and from 4 to 6 bph on all evenings.

LOWER LEA VALLEY OPPORTUNITY AREA PLANNING FRAMEWORK | i FOREWORD I am delighted to introduce the Opportunity Area Planning Framework for the Lower Lea Valley. The Framework sets out my vision for the Valley, how it could change over the next decade, and what that change would mean for residents, businesses, landowners, public authorities and other stakeholders. It builds on the strategic planning policies set out in my 2004 London Plan for an area of nearly 1450 hectares, extending from the Thames in the south to Leyton in the north, straddling the borders of Newham, Tower Hamlets, Hackney and Waltham Forest. The Lower Lea Valley is currently characterised by large areas of derelict industrial land and poor housing. Much of the land is fragmented, polluted and divided by waterways, overhead pylons, roads and railways. My aim is to build on the area’s unique network of waterways and islands to attract new investment and opportunities, and to transform the Valley into a new sustainable, mixed use city district, fully integrated into London’s existing urban fabric.
