Core Strategy Vision and Objectives 1. Introduction Your chance to help shape the future of Bromley We would like you to help us develop the long-term planning strategy for the London Borough of Bromley. This strategy needs to show roughly where any new development should go and, how much development there should be, over the next 20 years. We are starting with what is known as the “Core Strategy” - the top-level document where we set the general direction for the future of the borough - but once this is prepared we will produce other documents with policies to guide the detail of any development. So, is this the “Core Strategy”? No, this is just the first step towards a Core Strategy. This document presents a wide range of information about the Borough and its places and suggests some of the key issues for the future. We are asking everyone with an interest in Bromley to tell us what they think about the issues we have identified – are they the right issues? Are there any more issues that our planning strategy needs to consider? Once we have agreed on the main issues, it’s time to look at the ways of tackling them – again, we’ll be asking for everyone to get involved by telling us what they think and whether anything has been missed. After this we’ll be able to produce a draft Core Strategy which will contain policies that can be used to guide development – this is the document that will be submitted to the Government for checking. Overall, this process will take about two years. Why does it matter to me? The production of Bromley’s Core Strategy is an important project being led by the Council, but your help is needed. Residents, businesses and developers are all being asked to put forward their views and ideas to help guide the location and nature of change around the borough. The final strategy has to include policies about how many, and where, new homes may be built, where business is to be encouraged and how special areas and features are to be protected. It will outline how Bromley will tackle the issues of climate change, waste management and protection of the environment. The development of the Core Strategy gives you an opportunity to tell us what you think the key issues are for the development of the borough’s places, and influence the way those issues are managed. We need you to help shape the future of Bromley. What am I supposed to do? You will see that the document has several sections: A brief Portrait of the Borough in 2011 with some basic facts and figures is given in Section 2 Section 3 presents the overall Vision for the Borough in 20 years time together with the Objectives on which a future plan might be based. In Section 4 we’ve presented information about the different places in the borough in a series of Area Pen Portraits. Each pen portrait concludes with some issues or questions we think may be important for those areas. We need your comments on those issues – are they the right ones? Are there any that we have missed? Section 5 refers to Strategic Spatial Themes that affect the Borough as a whole. Again, we have concluded each part with issues relating to each of the seven themes. Are these the right issues and are there any that we have missed? How do I put forward my comments? There are several ways of commenting on the issues or questions in the Area Pen Portraits (Section 4) or the Strategic Themes (Section 5). The quickest way is to try our new consultation portal through the Council’s website but you can also email or write in. Our details are at the bottom of this page. This isn’t your only chance to help influence the Core Strategy, but it’s a good time to join in as we’re just starting the process. How do I make sure that I am told about the next stages? By signing in to the online portal you will be automatically given the chance to keep in touch with what we’re doing on the Core Strategy. When we publish something, you’ll be sent an email. If you have internet access, this is the quickest and easiest way to keep involved in this process. Don’t worry if you can’t or don’t want to use the internet, you can ask to be added to our mailing list and we will make sure that details about future public consultations are made available in the libraries. We want to make sure that as many people as possible can have their say. Contact details Online consultation portal: XXXXXXXXXXX Email: Postal address: Please send your comments by XXXX If you need the document in a particular language or format, please let us know. Where now? You can read more about the Core Strategy and how it will be used from page XXX, otherwise go straight to The Places of Bromley on page XXX or The Strategic Themes… 2. Portrait of the Borough in 2011 Bromley in London and the South East With a population of just over 306,000 in 2011 and an area of 150 sq kilometres, Bromley has the fourth highest population amongst the London boroughs and is the largest in area1. The Borough occupies a strategic position in the South East of the Capital and South East England with rail connections to Central London and easy access to the M25 and onwards to the National Road Network and major South East airports. Figure 1 Bromley is a distinctive part of London’s suburbs that is closely connected to London’s economy, and itself has one of the largest borough economies south of the Thames. Open countryside, protected by the Green Belt that encircles London, makes up over half the Borough. The area of Green Belt in the Borough has many characteristics in common with the rural parts of Kent and Surrey. Bromley’s towns, suburbs and countryside Bromley’s distinctive character arises from its protected open space: countryside, parks, gardens, playing fields and woodlands spread throughout the Borough. Tree lined roads and avenues and houses with gardens are distinctive features of many of the Borough’s residential areas. There are 131,000 households1 in a variety of house types spreading from the older, more densely developed areas around Penge to the more spacious detached houses near to Farnborough and Keston. Figure 2 Over half the local working population travel out of the Borough to work, predominantly to central London. The Borough has a strong local economy, however, and there are 129,000 workplaces2 based in the Borough; about a fifth of these (26,000) in Bromley Town centre – the most significant location for shopping and business services. The 10 other town centres shown in figure 2 are also vital to the Borough’s local economy and as focal points for cultural and civic activity. The Borough’s 73 smaller centres and shopping parades give a distinctive identity to many localities as well as providing an important source of local employment and access to services. These are described in more detail in the Area Pen Portraits that follow in Section 4. The main sources of employment outside of the town centres are in business areas such as those at St Mary Cray and Lower Sydenham. Biggin Hill Airport is important transport infrastructure with potentially a wide impact and implications for the local economy. 1. © GLA 2010 Round Demographic Projections 2. Figure for 2011, from GLA Working Paper 39: Borough employment projections to 2031 Places in Bromley The scale of the borough, the largest in London, is such that it includes a wide range of places and communities; urban, suburban and rural. To effectively plan for such a diverse borough it is important understand the particular characteristics, strengths and weaknesses of the different places within the borough. To this end 21 pen portraits have been drafted, briefly outlining the distinctive character of different parts of the borough. Figure 3 The borough is not comprised of rigidly delineated areas and hence the pen portrait areas deliberately overlap, acknowledging the gradual transition from one place to another. In this respect they differ from wards, which are defined for electoral purposes, and whose sharp boundaries may cut through places and communities. The loose boundaries of the pen portrait areas also improve understanding of issues and enable more effective plan making responses along the boundaries with neighbouring boroughs, for example at Crystal Palace. The pen portraits set the scene for a discussion of issues in particular places and will ultimately assist in producing policies and options to deliver the vision for the Borough. Whilst part of achieving that vision may involve some neighbourhood plans, the places in this document are not put forward as the basis for 21 individual neighbourhood plans, rather it is intended that this consultation will help to deliver localism, through a full appreciation of the rich variety of places within the Borough. Bromley in 2025 “Bromley is the cleanest and greenest borough in London with distinctive neighbourhoods and high quality open spaces. Over half of the Borough is Green Belt. There are 45 conservation areas and a wide range of historic and listed buildings. People enjoy a good quality of life in all Bromley’s places, from the low density suburbs to the vibrant town centres. Businesses thrive, growing and investing locally, responding to the challenges of a changing economy.” Open and natural space The importance of all natural spaces, whether private gardens, rivers and lakes or Green Belt, is universally recognised and their quality and protection is a high priority.

BECKENHAM COPERS COPE & KANGLEY BRIDGE Character The introduction of the railway in mid-Victorian times saw Beckenham develop from a small village into a town on the edge of suburbia. The majority of dwellings in the area are Victorian with some 1940’s and 50’s flats and houses. On the whole houses tend to have fair sized gardens; however, where there are smaller dwellings and flatted developments there is a lack of available off-street parking. During the later part of the 20th century a significant number of Victorian villas were converted or replaced by modern blocks of flats or housing. Ten conservation areas have been established to help preserve and enhance the appearance of the area reflecting the historic character of the area.

  • Black Dog Publishing Hello
    SPRING 2013 BLACK DOG PUBLISHING HELLO Introducing Black Dog Publishing’s Spring 2013 list, we are pleased to announce a wide variety of new titles on an extensive range of engaging subjects. It is a pleasure to dedicate a large part of this catalogue to, more than ever, new art and design titles: the first, Colour in the Making: From Old Wisdom to New Brilliance (p. 6) is a visual survey of art and design told through the materials of colour, from the discovery and use of early earth pigments to organic chemistry and contemporary dyes. Following this, Design That Matters: The Challenge for Contemporary Design (p. 30) is an illustrated reader on ethical issues in twenty-first century design, from the challenges of consumerism to our ever pressing concerns for the environment and Arthouse (p. 10) explores how artists have used the form and concept of the house in disparate work over the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Exploring more recent trends in art, Art and the Internet (p. 8) examines the legacy of the internet and illuminates how and why artists are using it, whilst Seeing is Believing: The Politics of the Visual (p. 20) investigates the politics of visual communication and the way we process information ‘streamed’ to us via various media. We also introduce the sixth title in our ARTWORLD series: Contemporary Art in Germany, Austria and Switzerland (p. 12), exploring the thriving contemporary art scene of each of these countries; with the series now available in paperback and at a reduced pricepoint. Continuing our commitment to producing visually appealing and expertly informed music titles, in this season we delve into underground music in the United States in the early 1980s and 90s, with the visual reader Late Century Dream: Movements in the US Indie Music Underground (p.

  • The Crystal Palace
    The Crystal Palace The Crystal Palace was a cast-iron and plate-glass structure originally The Crystal Palace built in Hyde Park, London, to house the Great Exhibition of 1851. More than 14,000 exhibitors from around the world gathered in its 990,000-square-foot (92,000 m2) exhibition space to display examples of technology developed in the Industrial Revolution. Designed by Joseph Paxton, the Great Exhibition building was 1,851 feet (564 m) long, with an interior height of 128 feet (39 m).[1] The invention of the cast plate glass method in 1848 made possible the production of large sheets of cheap but strong glass, and its use in the Crystal Palace created a structure with the greatest area of glass ever seen in a building and astonished visitors with its clear walls and ceilings that did not require interior lights. It has been suggested that the name of the building resulted from a The Crystal Palace at Sydenham (1854) piece penned by the playwright Douglas Jerrold, who in July 1850 General information wrote in the satirical magazine Punch about the forthcoming Great Status Destroyed Exhibition, referring to a "palace of very crystal".[2] Type Exhibition palace After the exhibition, it was decided to relocate the Palace to an area of Architectural style Victorian South London known as Penge Common. It was rebuilt at the top of Town or city London Penge Peak next to Sydenham Hill, an affluent suburb of large villas. It stood there from 1854 until its destruction by fire in 1936. The nearby Country United Kingdom residential area was renamed Crystal Palace after the famous landmark Coordinates 51.4226°N 0.0756°W including the park that surrounds the site, home of the Crystal Palace Destroyed 30 November 1936 National Sports Centre, which had previously been a football stadium Cost £2 million that hosted the FA Cup Final between 1895 and 1914.
