London Borough of Bromley (‘The Applicant’). This document is submitted for approval as part of an outline planning application with all matters reserved with the exception of some means of access for a park-wide regeneration scheme at Crystal Palace Park, Thicket Road, London.

1.1.2 The application is submitted to the London Borough of Bromley as the determining local planning authority (LPA) under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) and the Town and County Planning (Development Management Procedure) Order 2015.

1.1.3 The application seeks outline planning permission with all matters reserved with the exception of some means of access, for the:

“Comprehensive phased regeneration of Crystal Palace Park. This will include: conservation and repair of heritage assets; removal of existing hard surfaces; alterations to ground levels and tree removal; landscaping including planting of new trees; demolition of existing buildings and structures; creation of new pedestrian paths / vehicular access roads / car, coach and cycle parking; changes of use including part of the caravan site to part public open space and part residential; erection of new buildings and structures comprising: up to 2300sqm for a cultural venue (Use Class D2), up to 530sqm of park maintenance facilities (Sui Generis) including the dismantling and reconstruction of existing maintenance depot; up to 150sqm information centre (Use Class D1); up to 670sqm for a community centre (Use Class D1); up to 737sqm of educational institution at the Capel Manor College Anerley Hill Site (Use Class D1), up to 3,779sqm of educational institution at the Capel Manor College Farm Site (Use Class D1) of which 3,399sqm comprises educational buildings and 380sqm comprises ancillary shelters/ outbuildings; and up to 16,352sqm of residential (Use Class C3) accommodation to provide up to 210 residential dwellings, together with associated and ancillary works including utilities and surface water drainage, plant and equipment.

2.2 Site Description

2.2.1 Crystal Palace Park (CPP) is located in south London, centred at National Grid Reference 534300, 170900. The Park is one of the largest in south east London at approximately 80 hectares (ha) in area. The Park is bounded by residential development on its north eastern and southern sides. Crystal Palace Station and railway tracks are located just outside the southern boundary and Crystal Palace Bus Station is located on the western boundary. CPP is recognised as a Regional Park due to its size and location, serving several surrounding boroughs, and is a Grade II* listed Historic Park and Garden (NHLE number 1000373) providing significant assets, including the National Sports Centre (NSC).

2.2.2 CPP is located along the highest section of the London clay ridge which marks the southern edge of the London Basin. It falls steeply down from west towards the east, from approximately 109m AOD adjacent to Crystal Palace Parade to 52m AOD at Penge Gate.

2.2.3 The Park appears as a large area of green landscape, well wooded towards its edges, particularly the north. It is also well wooded to the east, forming a backdrop to the sports buildings and associated facilities at the NSC. It consists of open grassland and mature and semi-mature trees, with pathways, access roads, car parking areas, buildings, and structures relating to park maintenance, sport, and recreation facilities.

2.2.4 CPP consists of the elevated and open site of the former Crystal Palace, the terraces and wide central

walk, open parkland and paths, access roads and car parks. Within the Park, there are numerous buildings and structures related to park maintenance, sport and recreation facilities. However, not all of these are located within the planning application boundary.

2.2.5 There are a number of listed buildings and structures located within the Planning Application boundary. These are:

− The Prehistoric animal sculptures, Geological Formations and Lead Mine (Grade I listed, NHLE number 1067798);

− The North and South Railings, Walls and Boundary Marker (Grade II listed, NHLE number 1393659);

− The Upper and Lower Italian Terraces (Grade II listed, NHLE number 1064352);

− The Bust of Sir Joseph Paxton (Grade II listed, NHLE number 1389535); and

− The Gate Piers to Rockhills (Grade II listed, NHLE number 1376636). 2.2.6 Some of the buildings and structures of note that are located within the Park but are outside of the

planning application boundary are: The Grade II* listed National Sports Centre (NSC) and locally listed athletics stadium.

2.2.7 Further information on the heritage assets located within the Park can be found in the Heritage Statement and Cultural Heritage chapter of the Environmental Statement which are submitted in support of the outline planning application.

2.3 Surrounding Context

2.3.1 The Park is located in a predominantly residential area, with housing close by on all sides. The surrounding areas have a suburban character, particularly to the north, with large arts and crafts villas on Crystal Palace Park Road, some built on the periphery of the Park. There are several estates of smaller houses close to the Park. The surrounding area also includes some retail and office uses, and a number of primary schools.

2.3.2 The Upper Norwood ‘Triangle’ located at the south western corner of the Park is the closest centre to the Park and has its own distinct independent character providing a number of services, retail and food and drink offers with a high number of independent stores. A few services are also centred around Penge West train station directly to the east of the site.

4.3.6 The following text provides a brief overview of each of the parameter plans submitted for approval.

Application Boundary Parameter Plan 4.3.7 The Planning Application Boundary Parameter Plan (60553431-DWG-ZZ-001) shows the extent of the

application site for the Crystal Palace Park planning application indicated by the solid red line. The application site includes the land currently leased by the caravan club. It excludes the land leased by the Greater London Authority (GLA) for use by the National Sports Centre (NSC), but includes land leased by the GLA and used by Capel Manor College.

4.3.8 The Application Site is located entirely within the administrative area of the London Borough of Bromley, but close to the boundaries of four other London Boroughs: the London Borough of Lewisham, the London Borough of Southwark, the London Borough of Lambeth and the London Borough of Croydon.

Structures and Surfacing to be Demolished Parameter Plan 4.3.9 The Structures and Surfacing to be Demolished Parameter Plan (60553431-DWG-ZZ-003– 01, revised

drawing submitted May 2020 ) identifies the location of existing buildings, walls, fencing and gates to be demolished and existing hard surfacing to be removed.

4.3.10 The buildings and structures to be demolished are: o the Nursery near Sydenham Gate; o the Rangers’ Lodge near Sydenham Gate; o the St Johns Ambulance building on Crystal Palace Park Road and facility and associated storage

buildings in the Transitional Landscape area; o the buildings at the caravan club; o the maintenance shed and ancillary structures east of Crystal Palace Museum; o the Park Depot near NSC; o the Crystal Palace Park Information Centre; o the existing Capel Manor College buildings and hard surfacing; and o four electricity substations (2 adjacent to Penge Gate, one in the Transitional Landscape, and one on

the Lower Palace Terrace). 4.3.11 Existing hard surfacing in the Park will be removed to improve the openness of the Park and rationalise

the circulation routes throughout. The largest areas of hardstanding to be removed are the car park to the west of the National Sports Centre and the hardstanding within the caravan club site. Means of enclosure (fencing) will be removed throughout the Park, including around the Transitional Lake which will open up the lake to full public access.

Proposed Topography Parameter Plan 4.3.12 The Proposed Topography Parameter Plan (60553431-DWG-ZZ-005 – 01, revised drawing submitted

REGENERATION PLAN


18

September 2020) sets out the proposed changes to topography throughout the Park. The proposed works to the topography of the site primarily impact the Palace and Italian Terraces and the Transitional Landscape Area. The plan shows the proposed levels of ground at 1.0m contour intervals.

Proposed Soft and Hard Landscaping Parameter Plans 4.3.13 The Proposed Soft Landscaping Parameter Plan (60553431-DWG-ZZ-007 – 01, revised drawing submitted

September 2020) and the Proposed Hard Landscaping Parameter Plan (60553431-DWG-ZZ-009– 01, revised drawing submitted September 2020) have been designed to be read alongside each other and are split into Character Areas as illustrated in Drawing No. 60553431-DWG-ZZ-002.

4.3.14 The proposed levels of soft and hard landscaping proposed in each Character Area are not defined exactly, but instead are expressed as a percentage range for each Character Area to allow for flexibility for the future detailed design. In each Character Area, the percentage of soft and hard landscaping adds up to 100%, but the parameters allow for flexibility in the final proportion of hard and soft landscaping within each Character Area.

Proposed Vegetation Retention and Removal 4.3.15 The Proposed Soft Landscaping Parameter Plan above also identifies the proposed vegetation to be

retained. The Proposed Vegetation Retention and Removal Parameter Plan (60553431-DWG-ZZ-013– 01, revised drawing submitted September 2020) shows the location of vegetation to be retained or removed. A Tree Survey has informed the decision to remove the trees and shrubs shown on the Proposed Vegetation Retention and Removal Parameter Plan. Further details are included in the Arboricultural Report which accompanies this planning application.

Proposed Public Access, Circulation and Parking Parameter Plan 4.3.16 The Proposed Public Access, Circulation and Parking Parameter Plan (60553431-DWG-ZZ-010– 01, revised

drawing submitted September 2020) identifies the location of: pedestrian, cycle and vehicular entrances to the Park; pedestrian routes; pedestrian and cycle routes; all mode routes; public and disabled parking; and coach parking. The proposed routes are identified with a limit of deviation shown as a black hatch; the exact location within the identified limits of deviation will be determined at the Reserved Matters stage following detailed design work.

Proposed Servicing Access and Circulation Parameter Plan 4.3.17 The Proposed Servicing Access and Parking Parameter Plan (60553431-DWG-ZZ-011– 01, revised drawing

submitted September 2020) shows the proposed location of servicing access points to the Park, and primary and secondary servicing routes through the Park. The proposed routes are identified with a limit of deviation shows as a black hatch, the exact location within the identified limits of deviation will be determined at reserved matters stage following detailed design work.

Proposed Built Development and Land Use 4.3.18 The Proposed Built Development and Land Use Parameter Plan (60553431-DWG-ZZ-012 -– 01, revised

drawing submitted September 2020) shows the maximum envelope and maximum land take of the proposed buildings distinguished by Use Class. The maximum land take is the maximum amount of land that will be required for the development including ancillary buildings, parking and private amenity space.

Parameter Plans for the Buildings Proposed within the Park 4.3.19 The remaining Parameter Plans (60553431-DWG-ZZ-014-4. 1705_RR_110H, 1705_RR_111I, 17-

5_SV_110G, 60553431_DWG_ZZ_017) show the parameters for the new buildings proposed within the Park. The plans show the maximum proposed building envelope and land take as well as elevations. Heights are shown as maximum and minimum AOD. Detailed building designs submitted through Reserved Matters Applications will not exceed the maximum building envelope determined through these Parameter Plans.
