IT’S A CONTEMPORARY RESIDENCE THAT EMBRACES THE PLEASURES OF A PEACEFUL NEIGHBOURHOOD AND THE JOYS OF ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING CITIES IN THE WORLD. WELCOME TO PUTNEY. WELCOME TO CARLTON HOUSE. NICK HUTCHINGS MANAGING DIRECTOR, COMMERCIAL 03 CARLTON HOUSE – THE VISION The vision behind Carlton House was to create a new gateway to Putney, a landmark designed to stand apart but in tune with its surroundings. The result is a handsome modern residence in a prime spot on Upper Richmond Road, minutes from East Putney Underground and a short walk from the River Thames. Designed by award-winning architects Assael, the striking façade is a statement of arrival, while the stepped shape echoes the rise and fall of the neighbouring buildings. There’s a concierge with mezzanine residents’ lounge, landscaped roof garden and 73 apartments and penthouses, with elegant interiors that evoke traditional British style. While trends come and go, Carlton House is set to be a timeless addition to the neighbourhood. Carlton House UPPER RICHMOND ROAD Image courtesy of Assael 05 CARLTON HOUSE – LOCATION N .

From the banks of the River Thames to Putney Heath, its green spaces have attracted Londoners since the days of Queen Elizabeth I, when people came to relax and escape the stress of the city. To this day, there is a real sense of the great outdoors and greenery at almost every turn – parkland on both sides of the Thames and Putney Embankment for Sunday strolls to Barnes. Putney is one of the best spots in London to watch that quintessentially British sports event, the annual Boat Race. A short distance away is the expanse of Richmond Park, the largest and wildest of London’s royal parks. 15 CARLTON HOUSE – LOCAL AREA 17 CARLTON HOUSE – LOCAL AREA 19 CARLTON HOUSE – LOCAL AREA 21 CARLTON HOUSE – LOCAL AREA 23 CARLTON HOUSE – LOCAL AREA KEY N .

Carlton House stands on the corner of Upper Richmond Road and close to Putney Hill and the busy High Street. Just a few minutes away is the Putney Arts Theatre, and Lower Richmond Road is home to several art dealers and galleries. Putney Exchange is a small-scale shopping centre with a Waitrose and other well-known names mixing with smaller retailers, while the surrounding streets are lined with independent shops selling everything from vintage clothes to hard-to-find Scandinavian gifts. Meanwhile, Putney mainline station is a short walk away and East Putney Underground (zone 2) is 50 metres from the front door.

    Reference: FER0829694 Freedom of Information Act 2000(FOIA) Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR) Decision notice Date: 12 May 2020 Public Authority: Wimbledon and Putney Commons Conservators Address: Manor Cottage Windmill Road Wimbledon Common London SW19 5NR Decision (including any steps ordered) 1. The complainant has requested information regarding an agreement to exchange land between Wimbledon and Putney Commons Conservators (WPCC) and Royal Wimbledon Golf Club (RWGC). 2. WPCC refused to comply with the request on the basis that it was manifestly unreasonable, citing regulation 12(4)(b). 3. The Commissioner’s decision is that WPCC is entitled to rely on regulation 12(4)(b) to refuse to comply with the request and that in the circumstances of this case, the public interest lies in maintaining the exception. 4. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps. Background 5. Wimbledon and Putney Commons is a charity managed by WPCC. It was established under The Wimbledon and Putney Common Act 1871 (the 1871 Act). The Commons comprise some 1140 acres across Wimbledon Common, Putney Heath and Putney Lower Common. 1 Reference: FER0829694 6. Under the 1871 Act, it is the duty of the Conservators (five elected and three appointed) to keep the Commons open, unenclosed, unbuilt on and their natural aspect preserved. 7. Wimbledon and Putney Commons is largely funded by a levy on local residents which is administered through the Council Tax collected by three councils, namely Wandsworth, Merton and Kingston. 8. The Commissioner understands that arrangements between WPCC and RWGC date back to as early as 1954.

  • St James Conservation Area Audit
    ST JAMES’S 17 CONSERVATION AREA AUDIT AREA CONSERVATION Document Title: St James Conservation Area Audit Status: Adopted Supplementary Planning Guidance Document ID No.: 2471 This report is based on a draft prepared by B D P. Following a consultation programme undertaken by the council it was adopted as Supplementary Planning Guidance by the Cabinet Member for City Development on 27 November 2002. Published December 2002 © Westminster City Council Department of Planning & Transportation, Development Planning Services, City Hall, 64 Victoria Street, London SW1E 6QP www.westminster.gov.uk PREFACE Since the designation of the first conservation areas in 1967 the City Council has undertaken a comprehensive programme of conservation area designation, extensions and policy development. There are now 53 conservation areas in Westminster, covering 76% of the City. These conservation areas are the subject of detailed policies in the Unitary Development Plan and in Supplementary Planning Guidance. In addition to the basic activity of designation and the formulation of general policy, the City Council is required to undertake conservation area appraisals and to devise local policies in order to protect the unique character of each area. Although this process was first undertaken with the various designation reports, more recent national guidance (as found in Planning Policy Guidance Note 15 and the English Heritage Conservation Area Practice and Conservation Area Appraisal documents) requires detailed appraisals of each conservation area in the form of formally approved and published documents. This enhanced process involves the review of original designation procedures and boundaries; analysis of historical development; identification of all listed buildings and those unlisted buildings making a positive contribution to an area; and the identification and description of key townscape features, including street patterns, trees, open spaces and building types.

  • George IV: Radical Or Reactionary?
    20TH JANUARY 2020 George IV: Radical or Reactionary? Dr Stella Tillyard Good evening. I am going to talk tonight about George IV. 2020 marks the 200th anniversary of his accession to the British throne, and this anniversary - opportunely in the light of recent events in the institution of the monarchy - gives us the opportunity to think about the role of an individual, as a private and as a public person, in this most gilded of cages. I am going to ask a few questions about George IV, of the sort of questions that historians do still ask if only of selected historical figures - male figures for the most part - monarchs, politicians, generals and so on - that is to say, was George IV a success, as a public figure - was he a good Prince of Wales, Regent, King? Did he do what the institution of the monarchy demanded of him? I am also going to talk about his influence: did he leave anything that was distinguished, useful or beautiful? And then I am going to talk about him as a person, because George was, after a fashion, a private man, trying, within the constraints of the institution he was born to inherit and head, to lead some sort of private life. Finally, I'll ask if on the 200th anniversary of George IV's accession we should reassess the reputation that he has and modify it in any way. George IV's reputation was poor when he acceded to the throne in 1820, and poor when he died in 1830. The day after his funeral the Times newspaper ran a leader declaring with undeferential relish, 'there never was an individual less regretted by his fellow creatures than this deceased King'.

  • Wimbledon and Putney Commons Annual Conservation Report 2018/19
    Wimbledon and Putney Commons Annual Conservation Report 2018/19 Introduction The Annual Conservation Report for 2018/19 provides a summary of the conservation activities that have been carried out on Wimbledon and Putney Commons from 1st April 2018 to 31st March 2019. Written by the Conservation and Engagement Officer for Wimbledon and Putney Commons, this report also provides details of the wide range of volunteering activities and public engagement events that have taken place on the Commons during the year. Throughout the year, the Commons’ Saturday morning volunteer ‘Scrub Bashers’ are involved with cutting back invasive saplings around the Commons’ remaining areas of heathland and open ground. 1 Heathland Management: Working under the guidance of our current involvement with the Higher Tier element of Natural England’s (NE) Countryside Stewardship (CS) agreement, between 1st April 2018 and 31st March 2019, heathland management has remained an ongoing part of the Commons’ overall programme of habitat management. Found on free draining, nutrient poor, acidic soils, lowland heathland is classed as a priority habitat under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan because it is a rare and threatened habitat. According to Natural England’s Countryside Stewardship Negotiation Schedule, the aim of the management of lowland heathland is ‘to provide a mosaic of vegetation which allows all heathland features to flourish, including pioneer heath and bare ground which benefits rarer invertebrates, birds, reptiles and plants’. Heathland located to the south of Hookhamslade Pond (September 2018) 2 In accordance with the Wimbledon and Putney Commons Countryside Stewardship agreement, at an operational level, the management of lowland heathland on the Commons will include: The control and management of birch, oak and other scrub species by cutting and stump treatment.

  • 'X'marks the Spot: the History and Historiography of Coleshill House
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON FACULTY OF HUMANITIES Department of History ‘X’ Marks the Spot: The History and Historiography of Coleshill House, Berkshire by Karen Fielder Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2012 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF HUMANITIES DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY Doctor of Philosophy ‘X’ MARKS THE SPOT: THE HISTORY AND HISTORIOGRAPHY OF COLESHILL HOUSE, BERKSHIRE by Karen Fielder Coleshill House was a much admired seventeenth-century country house which the architectural historian John Summerson referred to as ‘a statement of the utmost value to British architecture’. Following a disastrous fire in September 1952 the remains of the house were demolished amidst much controversy shortly before the Coleshill estate including the house were due to pass to the National Trust. The editor of The Connoisseur, L.G.G. Ramsey, published a piece in the magazine in 1953 lamenting the loss of what he described as ‘the most important and significant single house in England’. ‘Now’, he wrote, ‘only X marks the spot where Coleshill once stood’. Visiting the site of the house today on the Trust’s Coleshill estate there remains a palpable sense of the absent building. This thesis engages with the house that continues to exist in the realm of the imagination, and asks how Coleshill is brought to mind not simply through the visual signals that remain on the estate, but also through the mental reckoning resulting from what we know and understand of the house. In particular, this project explores the complexities of how the idea of Coleshill as a canonical work in British architectural histories was created and sustained over time.
