MASTER PLAN - PLANNING APPLICATION to BROMLEY COUNCIL
LINKS TO CRITICAL DOCUMENTS
These
links provide direct access to the important documents of the Master
Plan which have been collected on this website for convenience -
there is no real need to look elsewhere. Nevertheless, links are also
given to other web sites of importance: LDA, Bromley Council and
Crystal Palace Park.
Note that the files appear as .pdf documents in a separate window which could be saved on your computer if you wish. They are quite large sizes and are given below*.
Finally, a link with Bromley's email address is provided for your response to them. While a good deal of time is spent trying to find something to object to, it is also very important to write to them indicating your approval or even qualified approval. It seems to me that this is a great opportunity to regenerate Crystal Palace Park - as one local resident put it "a chance in a generation" - so we should grab it!
NOTE: In spite of a message on Bromley Council's websiite, you can still contact them about the planning application - theoretically until the day before the planning meeting but preferably before the end of May.
These are the main documents to look at - helpful recommendations were given by Peter Martin, from Bromley Council, at the stakeholders Main Group Meeting on the 23rd February 2008 (last Saturday). Literally thousands of pages of documents formed the complete planning application so, unless we are all able to take a couple of months off work, this route seems the most practical to get at the gist of the issues.
There are, in fact three applications (see my email Bulletin of December 2007 to the Campaign mailing list); to summarise, they are:

| SUBMIT COMMENTS TO BROMLEY COUNCIL - (you should get an email acknowledgement from Bromley) If this fails use "Bromley Alternative" below |
BROMLEY ALTERNATIVE - NEW Owing to difficulties sometimes in getting to the Bromley planning applications on their website, here is an alternative method of getting your comments to them if you should need it:
Click on the arrow - it puts the case numbers in the subject line for you and puts the 'I DO NOT OBJECT' statement in the body of the email - if you wish you can overwrite any of this and put in your own words. You are reminded, in the body text, to add various details.OTHER LINKS:

* NOTES ON DOWNLOADING: I've timed the download and entered the result after each major document - this is the time from the start to the point where the file can be used. There may be some downloading in the background afterwards. My connection is broadband, theoretically 8MB speed. Note - the screen (on my system) goes BLACK until the download is complete, don't panic! Navigation instructions on each document (e.g. BACK) probably won't work - use the window's/website buttons.
