The Old Kent Road area has a remarkable past: Roman Watling Street, the medieval Pilgrim route to Canterbury, industrialisation, commerce and housing growth, through to 20th century wartime bombardment and reconstruction and the nurturing of new communities. The Old Kent Road is an historic London high street recognisable across the world due to its place as a low value asset on the Monopoly board. Parts of the road continue to have a high street character, along other stretches there are larger retail premises as well as housing estates, green spaces and civic and educational uses. The hinterland on either side of the road is a mix of industrial and community uses and housing.

  • Twenty Reasons to Reject Delancey's
    TWENTY REASONS TO REJECT DELANCEY’S SHOPPING CENTRE PLANNING APPLICATION (Based on the attached planning committee report) 1 There will be very little increase in the amount of retail floorspace in the new centre (Planning Committee report, paragraph 78). 2 Only half the required affordable retail units would be provided. Delancey has not given any explanation for this. Instead it wants pay Southwark £753,000, but this still breaches the local planning guidance (Paragraph 88). 3 There will be less leisure use space (Paragraph 98, 143). 4 There will be 36% affordable housing (Paragraph 337), but only 33 ‘social rented’ homes, the cheapest with rent of £160pw (Paragraphs 347, 348) and only on 3-year tenancies (Paragraphs 350, 352). 5 There will be 979 homes (Paragraph 336) and all will be rented, none for sale, breaking another breach (Paragraph 338). 6 Delancey, an off-shore private company, will be the landlord of all the homes, including the affordable housing (Paragraph 342). 7 Most of the ‘affordable’ homes will be for those who earn more than £50,000 a year (348) and these will be means tested (Paragraphs 352, 383). 8 There will be no London Affordable Rented Homes, despite London Mayor Sadiq Khan, saying he wants a third of such homes in new housing developments (AH and Viability SPG, 2017 para 2.40). 9 Funding for the new Northern Line ticket hall has not been agreed between TfL and Delancey (Paragraph 550). 10 Southwark proposes moving traders into disused garages at the bottom of council block Perronet House (Paragraph 183).

INTRODUCTION Hidden beneath the surface of the Central London Thames floodplain lie numerous, deep, crater- like pits known as 'anomalous buried hollows’ (or sometimes drift filled or scour filled hollows). They penetrate deep into the London Clay and sometimes beyond. Most of these hollows are filled with sands and gravels. They are believed to have formed under sub-arctic, peri-glacial conditions. One of these hollows, The Rockingham Street Anomaly, is situated in the London Borough of Southwark, close to Elephant and Castle. It is nearly 300m wide and over 19m deep. The Rockingham Street Anomaly is exceptional in that unlike most of the other hollows, a substantial part of the fill comprises a deep accumulation of peat. The peat was first identified during the construction of a sewer in the early 20th century and the general shape of the hollow and presence of peat have been confirmed by subsequent boreholes in the area.

  • Cabinet Report Title: Old Kent Road Area Action Plan
    Item No. Classification: Date: Meeting Name: 12. Open 8 December 2020 Cabinet Report title: Old Kent Road Area Action Plan: December 2020 Draft Ward(s) or groups All affected: Cabinet Member: Councillor Johnson Situ, Climate Emergency, Planning and Transport FOREWORD – COUNCILLOR JOHNSON SITU, CABINET MEMBER FOR CLIMATE EMERGENCY, PLANNING AND TRANSPORT The Old Kent Road has been a key artery in to the centre of London for centuries but our ambition for the area is one rooted in the local community that call it home, whether residents or businesses. Having grown up nearby, in many ways the Old Kent Road at first glance can be mistaken as primarily some housing and shops, which surround the A2. However, we know different, from the businesses, which make Christmas designs for Regent Street, to its rich diversity and the light industrial businesses along the Old Kent Road, all of which we plan to strengthen. We seek to create a great place to grow up and a great place to grow old in. We want to meet the housing need in the area, ensure people have access to good jobs locally that pay the London Living Wage, green family friendly open spaces, support the unique light industrial heritage of the Old Kent Road and ensure plans are carbon neutral in support of our Climate Emergency Declaration. Listening to local communities there are common themes that emerge; the need to provide more and better housing, improve public transport, reduce air pollution, address climate change, provide for younger people and crucially build trust in the council’s ability to deliver on its promises.
