Wandsworth Draft Walking and Cycling Strategy - December 2021
There is much that is laudable in this strategy and little with which we would disagree. We are disappointed, however, that while the targets for changes in behaviour on page 12 are set in precise terms, most of the actions to be taken by the Council are highly generalised and non-specific.
Battersea Reach Pathway -2021/5234
The Battersea Society objects to this application. As we set out in detail below with regard to the Mendip/Chatfield Road pathway and the garden alongside it, both the current situation and the changes proposed in the application are in conflict with the policies relating to the riverside
Dominvs Hotel - 2021/4900
The Battersea Society maintains its objection to these revised proposals which are proposed to be built so close to the roadway along both Nine Elms and Ponton Road as to leave inadequate space for drop off, servicing and essential parking.
3 Culvert Road
The Battersea Society objects most strongly to the application for a building which is an unneighbourly over-development of the site, to the detriment of views from the Battersea Park, Latchmere Estate and Shaftesbury Park Estate conservation areas and which fails to provide long-term housing for a variety of household sizes.
Bowls Greens, Clapham Common West Side SW4 9AN
Alterations to bowls greens to create landscaped putting greens including landscaping and installation of water feature. The Battersea Society objects to this application.
Planning and Design Codes
The creation and use of design codes is now becoming a key plank in planning policies at national and local levels.
3 Culvert Road, Balance Out Living
The Battersea Society cannot support these proposals to replace 39 residential units with co-living space.
55-59 Lombard Road
The following response follows the format of the online questionnaire in narrative form.
Land on the corner of Wm Henry Walk – 2021/3125
The Battersea Society objects most strongly to this application.
Housing for Single People
Around a third of the households in Wandsworth are occupied by a single person. That is significantly higher than the average for London, or for the rest of the UK.
Land adjacent to 76a Stanley Grove – 2021/0988
The Battersea Society, as with previous applications for development on this site, objects strongly to this latest application.
Land on the corner of Wm Henry Walk – 2021/0283
The Battersea Society objects most strongly to a further extension of permission for this illuminated advertisement, first granted for a temporary period of three years in 2013.
Response on proposals to redevelop the City Mission building – 120 Battersea Bridge Road
The Battersea Society was surprised that they were not included in the notification about the consultation on these proposals, only having been alerted to them belatedly by a local Councillor.
Dominvs Hotel, 2020/2047: Revised proposals
The Battersea Society wishes to maintain its strong objection to this application and do not consider the revised proposals
Local Plan Consultation 2021
The Planning Committee’s full response covers chapters including those dealing with Area Strategies for Clapham Junction, Nine Elms and Wandsworth Riverside, Design Excellence, Climate Change, Housing and Transport amongst others.
South London Mail Centre, Plot A: 2020/5054
The Battersea Society maintains its strong objection to plans for this plot and is disappointed that, with some exceptions, this application has not taken the opportunity to move forward from the plans approved at 2019/2293 and about which we, and the Design Review Panel, had significant concerns.
Battersea Power Station Future Planning Consultation
We were disappointed that this appears to be only a partial consultation to register an intent to make changes to the masterplan.
Crewkerne Garages, Battersea Church Road
First we wish to thank Joe Richardson and his team for the helpful way they have briefed us and for their willingness to maintain dialogue as their plans progress.
Arding and Hobbs, 315 Lavender Hill SW11 1LN (2020/3421 and 3484)
While the Battersea Society supports the aim of restoring this strategically-important building and bringing it back into mixed retail and office use we have to object to this application which fails to take account of concerns we have expressed since the start of the consultation process.
