  • Chapter 3: Urban Design
    Chapter 3: Urban Design Figures 3A – Conservation Areas 3B – Listed buildings 3C – Character Areas 3D – Building heights 3E – Views 3F – Urban Design Framework 3G – Areas appropriate for tall buildings 3a) Introduction 3.1 The Vision and policy context set out in Chapters 1 and 2 establish the potential for higher density development in Waterloo and for the area to benefit to a greater extent from the central London economy. Lambeth is concerned to ensure that accommodating this new development is used as a positive opportunity to improve the quality of Waterloo’s environment so that it lives up to its potential as a key part of central London. New development should build on the many strengths of Waterloo’s existing character and redevelop poor quality sites and spaces so that they become assets to the area. 3.2 This chapter sets out an urban design analysis and design guidance for Waterloo, elaborating on policy 79 of the UDP. It identifies key features of Waterloo’s existing character that should be retained and respected, and identifies opportunities for new development and how this could enhance the area’s attractiveness. The approach is based on guidance published by English Heritage and CABE (2007). Proposals to improve the public realm are set out in Chapter 7. 3.3 This chapter includes the following sections: • Historic development • Conservation and heritage • Character areas • Building heights and scale • Views • Areas appropriate for tall buildings • Design policy for tall buildings • Design guidance for the area 3b) Historic Development 3.4 The area that is now Waterloo was once part of Lambeth Marsh, an area of marsh and sandbanks stretching from Blackfriars Road in the East and following the river round to Lambeth Bridge in the South.
