  • 14 Local Centres & Neighbourhoods
    Borough Transport Strategy Draft Final 14 Local centres & neighbourhoods 14.1 Where do we want to be? Croydon should aspire to have a Metropolitan centre of regional importance, supported by a network of vibrant and distinctive local centres, each with surrounding neighbourhoods that are attractive places to live. Local centres should have good urban realm incorporating efficient street design and attractive landscaping but importantly maintain their individual identities. At their core, should be an active and diverse retail area that provides for all the basic needs of those who live in the surrounding neighbourhoods. The ‘high’ street should be well integrated with these neighbourhoods to build in self sufficiency and in doing so strengthen communities. This will help protect vitality and economical viability of the local centre which will make the neighbourhoods more attractive places in which to live. Neighbourhoods should also be well connected to key facilities such as schools, colleges, health centres but also public transport access points such as railway stations, bus and tram stops. This integration should be achieved with pedestrian and cycle routes that are direct and safe for all to users regardless of experience or ability. The impact of vehicles both parked and moving should be minimised while footways should be of good quality, legible, well maintained and adequately lit. Walking should be the primary mode of transport within these areas as it not only promotes healthy living but it helps develop a sense of community by giving local residents the opportunity to meet each other. Cycling to local schools should be encouraged and provided for, while local bus and tram stops should provide a safe and comfortable waiting environment.

The moving article about the Böncker and Marquardt families was prompted by an email from Raphael Madarang in the Philippines. The article about two past residents of the Dell Church Road, Upper Norwood resulted from an enquiry from Lesley Jensen whose husband once lived in the house. Even the article about air raid shelters was the result of an enquiry about a planning application from a resident of Crown Point Parade.

  • Submission by the Croydon South Labour Party to the Local
    Submission by the Croydon South Labour Party to The Local Government Boundary Commission for England initial consultation on the electoral review warding arrangements of the London Borough of Croydon 2016-2017 December 3 2016 Contents 1. Overview 2. Detailed rationale for proposed new ward construction 3. Borough Summary Maps (large scale version in hard copy only) 4. Maps of new proposed wards (alphabetic order by new proposed ward name – some proposed wards have several maps) 5. Maps of changes to existing ward boundaries (alphabetic order by old ward name) 6. Map of 1926 ward boundary review 1. Overview The Commission’s review of warding arrangements for the London Borough of Croydon follows the 1998 Croydon Electoral Review. The previous review was predicated on expectations that the then government might choose to have London Borough councils elect members annually by thirds with every fourth year in the calendar being reserved for the then prospective Greater London Authority. Two or one member wards were to be provided for only exceptionally. This review provides the opportunity to include a mixture of two member and three member wards to allow for closer identification of wards boundaries that reflect electors’ perceptions of identifiable delineated communities. The local authority’s definition of Croydon’s 16 places in the 2011 “Borough Character Appraisal” as created under the previous Conservative controlled administration is a useful guide as to how the council sees the different places of Croydon https://www.croydon.gov.uk/sites/default/files/articles/downloads/characterv4.pdf Previous two member wards with closer local links at Upper Norwood and Monks Orchard can be restored.

Conclusions / recommendations 32 1 1. Introduction Study Area 1.1 This study seeks to identify views within Lambeth that are worthy of recognition within the emerging Local Plan. Selection 1.2 The starting point in the selection process were the views identified within Policy 41 of the Lambeth Unitary Development Plan (saved policies 2010). These views have all be revisited and assessed. 1.3 Additional sources have been used to identify potential views: 1) Conservation Area Appraisals 2) Planning Appeals 3) Experience of officers on other heritage issues— e.g. Westminster World Heritage Site. Study Methodology 1.4 All identified view points have been visited and re-assessed. The objective being: the identification of the view: Location (normally a public building or place) Direction Type (panoramas or silhouettes) Content (heritage assets, landscape characteristics etc.) Conclusions 1.5 Section 4 contains the views analysis undertaken. The outcome of each assessment has resulted in the view either being rejected (a red cross) or accepted for inclusion (green tick). 2 2. Policy and Guidance Background National Planning Police Framework (2012) 2.1 The NPPF makes no policy references to the designation of local views. However, giving recognition to views of heritage assets is consistent with the aspirations in relation to the setting of heritage assets.
