Bankside, Borough & London Bridge Characterisation Study July 2013

“2.9 Opportunity sites
The characterisation study has identified that there are a number of large opportunity sites in the BBLB OA (Fig.13). These include sites which have consented planning applications, some of which are moving towards construction, such as large sites of London Bridge Station, One Tower Bridge, Tate Modern extension and other consented proposals at the north end of Blackfriars Road. Other sites are identified as having potential for more intense development or efficient use of land, examples being large blocks covering a site, areas of car parking or light industrial uses or
storage sheds. Some of the larger sites can also offer potential for public realm improvements including the creation of new links to enhance permeability or new public space.”

Preview case study: Bermondsey and Southwark

To give a sense of the kind of data YouGov will be offering and to show how it might be useful, they’ve taken a look at the central London constituency of Bermondsey and Old Southwark. It is where their launch event took place last night (on HMS Belfast), and is also the home of City Hall, the office of Mayor Boris Johnson.

NSP 105 – the new Southwark Plan

NSO1057

The Council is reviewing the Southwark Plan and Core Strategy to prepare a local plan called the New Southwark Plan. This new plan will set out a regeneration strategy for the next 10-15 years and will be used to make decisions on planning applications. The Council have commissioned an interactive map which will be on-line from mid to late February that will allow interested parties to zoom in on sites and click on sites to provide any detailed comments. The Council have included NSP105 as a potential proposal site. At this stage the Council has not proposed any uses, but are simply identifying the land as a potential site for redevelopment
