Part of the Common lies within the London Borough of Lambeth but is managed by this Council. Lambeth has a reciprocal arrangement to manage part of Clapham Common lying within the London Borough of Wandsworth. 1.2 In 1971 the responsibility for the management of the common passed from the GLC to Wandsworth Borough Council, Leisure and Amenity Services Department. 1.3 During 1987 the Leisure and Amenity Services Department commissioned their landscape section to undertake a management plan for Tooting Common. 1.4 The purpose of the plan is to examine all the problems conflicts and potentials within the Common and propose a future management and development plan phased over the next ten years. 1.5 This report is divided into the following sections: 1. Introduction 2. Survey 3. Key issues resulting from the analysis 4. Aims, Objectives, Proposals 5. Costings phased over 10 years. 6. Public consultations 1.6 In addition.to the ·written report there are a series of appendices and brochures containing supporting information and illustrative material. The report should be read in conjunction with these. - 1 - 2.0 SURVEY 2.1 INTRODUCTION 2.1.1. A complete aerial and ground based photographic survey of the Common has been carried out. This has produced an accurate record of the common as it existed in May 1987. 2.2 FLORA AND FAUNA 2.2.1. Using both the aerial photograph and on site survey work, the existing tree canopy on the Common has been accurately plotted. This gives a clear picture of the main tree structures, open areas, enclosed areas, and sun and shade distribution. Each tree has been examined and details of its health, age, size and species recorded on a schedule (fig 1). 2.2.2. Shrub areas have been recorded with details of species, age, size and condition (fig 2.). Generally there are very few shrubs on the Common. 2.2.3. Existing maintenance and grass cutting regimes have been recorded (fig 3.). These are broadly divided into:- i. Grass mown weekly/twice weekly ii. Grass mown annually iii. Unmown grass iv. Grass mown six weekly (under tree canopy) 2.2.4. Wildlife habitats have been described in appendix I and figure 4. Briefly, most of Tooting Common is given over to intensively managed rye grass sports fields of little value to wildlife. There are several small isolated remnants of native broadleaved woodland consisting of oak, birch, grey poplar, willow, hornbeam, hawthorn, beech, ash and regenerating scrub. There is also an admixture of exotic species such as sycamore, horse chestnut and London plane. There are small areas of semi improved grassland with stands of thistle, willowherbs and other rhyzomatous vegetation. The most important being between Bedford Hill and the Lake (0l7). There are also small areas of scrub consisting mainly of hawthorn. The ponds represent the main wetland habitats. Although there are large areas of Common which are inundated with ground water for most of the year these are predominantly potential rather than actual wetland habitats. - 2 - 2.3. LANDSCAPE FEATURES 2.3.1. The main water bodies, hard and soft areas, screening elements, enclosures and spaces, avenues, views and focal points are recorded on figure 5. 2.4. CIRCULATION 2.4.1. Existing circulation patterns for vehicles, pedestrians, horses and cycles are recorded in figure 6. Figure 7 records desire lines indicating where there are worn tracks but no existing footpaths. 2.5 RECREATIONAL USE 2.5.1 The present active recreation pursuits are recorded on figure 8. Figure 6 outlines both the official and unofficial horserides. 2.6 UNDERGROUND SERVICES Details of the underground services network have been collated. 2.7 ARTIFACTS Figure 9 identifies all the buildings and structures on the Common. Figure 10 identifies all furniture including seats, litter bins. Figure 11 identifies the location and power of each lighting column. 2.8 MICROCLIMATE 2.8.1. The microclimate of Tooting Common is affected by the prevailing winds, shade from trees and noise and atmospheric pollution from the surrounding roads and railways. The sports pitches with their dearth of tree cover are exposed to the prevailing south west winds making them bleak, cold and windswept. The wooded areas of Streatham Woods, Tooting Graveney Woods and the woods behind the tea room are relatively sheltered. 2.9. GEOLOGY, SOILS, TOPOGRAPHY 2.9.1. The soils of the Common were formed from gravels deposited during the ice age overlaying London clay. The area south of Dr. Johnson Avenue has particularly extensive gravel deposits. The undulations on the Southern section of Tooting Graveney Common result from gravel digging. - 3 - The poor, wet quality of the soils is probably the reason that the area was never built upon or cultivated. A detailed soil analysis was undertaken (see Appendix number (5). Twenty-four samples were taken on various areas of the Common. Of these fifteen were found to be sandy loams and all were acidic. Half the samples had a pH of less than five and two samples had a pH of less than four. The soils are generally deficient in phosphorous and potassium. The soils are compacted in certain areas both from foot• traffic and machinery _which contributes to the widespread waterlogging on the Common. Where the soils are particularly acidic this could be exploited by planting native species that thrive on acidic soil such as Bilberry Aspen, Downy Birch, Bird Cherry and on drier soils Sessile Oak.

  • From the Tooting Commons Management Advisory Committee
    1 From the Tooting Commons Management Advisory Committee. Planning Application Balham Boxing and Youth Club 336 Cavendish Road and Football Pitch East of 336 Cavendish Road SW12 0PP. Planning Application number 2019/4206: Executive summary 1. TCMAC approaches the application to refurbish and upgrade the triangle site from the point of view of its role as a guardian of the Tooting commons and in the light of the planning law and guidelines that apply to the London Borough of Wandsworth. 2. The relevant thrust of the law and guidelines is to balance organised sporting use of commons against other demands on them. That balance is to be met in the context of a national, metropolitan, and local move towards de-urbanisation for the sake of the health of human users, the improvement of the natural ecosystem, and in mitigation of climate change. 3.. TCMAC recognises the advantages promised by the development and appreciates the time and effort taken by the council and developer to mitigate damage to the environment, to those many users of the common who will not benefit from it, and (to a degree) to those who live alongside Tooting Bec common. 4. It notes, however, considerable public disquiet at the prospect of the site being ‘privatised’, so that what was once freely open to the public will now be enclosed and the activities within subject to charging. 5. Planning documents treat the Tooting commons not as a park or recreation ground but as a common. Tooting Bec and Tooting Graveney are a mixture of natural habitat and open spaces.
