We now also maintain the adopted planters, flowerbeds, tree pits and any public spaces that require attention. We have a core group of stalwarts who turn up every month, come rain or shine. Before each gardening in Bloom Village Walthamstow day a reminder email is sent to the 600 people on the WVRA contact list; some of whom come along if they are available and if they want to participate in a certain project. Those who join in include families with children and people of all ages, abilities and from a variety of backgrounds. We meet on the first Saturday of every month until May when we increase meetings on an ad hoc basis. We have a year-round list of activities that includes weeding, planting and pruning, litter-picking, painting out and cleaning off graffiti, re-painting street furniture and clearing and cutting back vegetation from footpaths. We separate gardening waste and have installed a compost bin on the square. Volunteers bring their own tools and gloves and we are supplied with bags by Waltham Forest. All other equipment and items are funded by WVRA. 33 Adoption of Planters, Flowerbeds and Floral Displays Walthamstow is the birthplace of William Morris and, interest in texture, movement and colour. with this in mind, Graham Sherman of Outer Space Gardens has designed the planting for our many In 2007 Waltham Forest ran an initiative to enable brick-built planters and flowerbeds.

  • Conservation Area Appraisal
    CONSERVATION AREA APPRAISAL Walthamstow Village Conservation Area INTRODUCTION This document is an “Appraisal” document as defined by English Heritage in their guidance document “Conservation Area Appraisals”. The purpose of the document is, to quote from the English Heritage document, to ensure that “the special interest justifying designation is clearly defined and analysed in a written appraisal of its character and appearance”. This provides a “sound basis, defensible on appeal, for development plan policies, and development control decisions” and also forms the basis for further work on design guidance and enhancement proposals. This Appraisal describes and analyses the particular character of the Walthamstow Village Conservation Area, which was designated by the Council in 1967. This includes the more obvious aspects such as buildings, spaces and architectural development, as well as an attempt to portray the often less tangible qualities which make the area “special”. PLANNING POLICY CONTEXT (i) National policies – Individual buildings “of special architectural or historic interest” have enjoyed a means of statutory protection since the 1950’s, but the concept of protecting areas of special merit, rather than individual buildings, was first brought under legislative control with the passing of the Civic Amenities Act 1967. A crucial difference between the two is that Listed buildings are assessed against national criteria, with Lists being drawn up by English Heritage. Conservation Areas by contrast are designated by Local Authorities on more local criteria, and are therefore varied in character. However, general guidance on the designation of Conservation Areas is included in Planning Policy Guidance Note 15 (PPG 15), which sets out the government’s policies on the historic built environment in general.
