A sustainability appraisal (SA) has been carried out to inform the Crofton Park and Honor Oak Neighbourhood Plan (HopCroft Plan). This has incorporated a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) process as required by the SEA Regulations. Neighbourhood Plan groups use SA to assess Neighbourhood Plans against a set of sustainability objectives developed in consultation with statutory and other interested parties. The purpose of the appraisal is to avoid negative environmental and socio-economic effects through the Neighbourhood Plan, and identify opportunities to improve the environmental quality of the area covered by the Neighbourhood Plan and the quality of life of residents. What is the Crofton Park and Honor Oak Neighbourhood Plan? The HopCroft Plan presents a development plan for the Crofton Park and Honor Oak area in south east London

The primary aim of the survey is to record the land uses in each of the local centres. This enables monitoring of the change in the retail use of local shopping centres since the last survey in 2005. The five local shopping centres are Brockley Cross, Crofton Park, Downham Way, Grove Park and Lewisham Way. Local shopping centres ideally provide a mix of shops and services that meet the day to day needs of local residents. Easy access to local shops reduces the need for travel and is vital for less mobile residents who cannot easily reach larger shopping centres. When comparing the 2005 survey data with the 2012 survey data, areas of particular interest are changes in the number of vacant units, hot food takeaways, betting shops and residential units. The number of vacant units can provide an indication of the health of the centre and also contributes to the overall perception of the centre.

  • Crofton Park Consultation Summary
    Crofton Park Consultation Summary London Borough of Lewisham Document reference: Date: 09 January 2018 Created by Asim Zeb [email protected] 0330 0080 855 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The London Borough of Lewisham is committed to improving the borough’s streets and road safety in the area for all users on the Crofton Park area (Bartram Road to Dalrymple Road) of the Brockley Corridor (Brockley Cross to Stanstead Road A205). Transport for London (TfL) has committed a limited amount of funding specifically for this work and designs have been consulted on following previous engagement with local residents and businesses. We have gathered feedback from residents and businesses in the area, as well as community groups and organisations. We have reviewed over 300 responses to produce this report and to see how we can refine and improve the design further. The responses show that respondents are positive about different aspects of the scheme, the main ones being: The introduction of more trees The public realm enhancements near the station The introduction of electric vehicle charging bays The review also highlighted a number of concerns. The majority of the concerns were regarding two specific issues: The new toucan crossing to replace the one near Bartram Road The two-way segregated cycle lane on widened footway and the segregated cycle lane on widened footway We have reviewed the comments associated with each numbered point on the consultation plan and a full list of recommendations is available on Page 24. Thank you to everyone who took part in the consultation, the feedback is vital in helping us meet the community’s needs as well as the scheme objectives.
