  • Consultants Brief the Crystal Palace Area
    Consultants Brief The Crystal Palace Area - Regeneration and urban design study 1 1 Introduction Where is Crystal Palace? Well that depends on who you ask. To some people it is Crystal Palace Park, to others the Upper Norwood ‘triangle, then there is Anerley and Penge, are they part of Crystal Palace area? If you google Crystal Palace, Crystal Palace FC pops up first followed by the magnificent Crystal Palace building that burnt down in 1936. We would like to employ consultants to explore the uncertain identity of Crystal Palace and what the future might hold, with people living and working in the area, those who own land in the area, or provide services or represent the people living there. We are seeking to appoint a suitably experienced team to carry out a regeneration and urban design study that explores future opportunities for the Crystal Palace and its surrounding town centres in light of the potential new designation of Crystal Palace as an Strategic Outer London Development centre with a strategic function around leisure/ tourism/ arts/ culture/ sports and the emerging development proposals within the park boundary. The study should consider implications and opportunities for regeneration of the area, through a range of potential strategies and interventions, and be flexible enough to be relevant given a range of scenarios regarding the nature of the redevelopment of Crystal Palace Park and the facilities located there. A key requirement of the study is that it is informed by meaningful community dialogue. The timetable for this procurement and the subsequent delivery of the project is set out in the process section of this document.
