condition on the planning permission. The amended scheme includes proposed covered walkways, which might raise the potential for criminal activity, and therefore the area, as well as the wider public realm, would be fully managed 24 hours a day by Vauxhall Square Estate Management (VSEM). This would include managing any issues arising from noise, anti-social behaviour and low level crime. 9.36 In addition, following concerns raised by LB Lambeth, A&M have introduced three pairs of gates to the New Lane proposed along the edges of Miles Street South, the railway viaduct and Wendle Court. Whilst the wider area is regenerating, these gates can be closed after dusk and re-opened in the mornings by estates management staff, allowing the provision and maintenance of safe pedestrian and cycle routes through this part of the site. 9.37 The Design and Access Statement, and Draft Vauxhall Square Management Plan provides detail on the management of the scheme which would meet secure by design principles, and reduce crime opportunities, including, amongst a number of initiatives: • Controlling entrances, exists and hours of businesses to ensure personal security for occupiers at all times • 24hr uniformed security staff will roam the site • Work with key groups, including metropolitan police, Vauxhall One BID, and Lambeth Street Population team • Provide a point of contact for all queries during development, and ensure that demolition and construction contractors sign-up to the Considerate Construction Scheme There would be building specific management plans, to deal issues relating to different uses, and the outline strategy is provided within the Management Strategy. This has been assessed by officers and it is considered that the proposed strategy being proposed is supported. 9.38 In summary the proposed bulk, design and massing being proposed would not cause there to be an adverse impact in terms of residential amenity in the local area and as such officers raise no objection to the scheme on these grounds. 9.39 Conclusion It is considered that all of the potential impacts on residential amenity have been fully addressed and either are not considered to be a matter of concern or have been fully mitigated through the detail of the scheme or the proposed conditions. 10 Traffic and Parking 10.1 Policy S4 of the Core Strategy aims to achieve and contribute towards sustainable pattern of development within the borough; seeking improvement for better connectivity, quality and capacity in public transport; working in partnership with TfL, Network Rail and other public transport providers and supporting the plans and programmes for improvements to public transport infrastructure and services in the borough, including the transport hubs at
Vauxhall; requiring developments to comply with the maximum car parking standards in the London Plan and reflect the public transport accessibility of the development and to include provision for cycle parking, motor-cycle parking in appropriate location and car clubs wherever possible; promoting walking and cycling, including through improvements to existing provision in and around development for cycling, cycle parking, public realm and transport and highway infrastructure. 10.2 Policy 6.1 of the London plan aims to encourage patterns and nodes of development that reduce the need to travel, especially by car; seeking to improve the capacity and accessibility of public transport, walking and cycling, particularly in areas of greatest demand; supporting development that generates high levels of trips at locations with high public accessibility; improving interchange between different forms of transport, particularly around major rail and Underground stations, especially where this will enhance connectivity in outer London. 10.3 The site covers a large area and fronts on to several roads and neighbouring sites. Parry Street (A202) runs across the northern boundary of the site, Wandsworth Road to the west and Bondway runs along the majority of the eastern boundary; Miles Street bisects the site with a continuation of the development southwards following the viaduct to its junction with Wandsworth Road. The northern section of Wandsworth Road and Parry Street, which forms part of the Vauxhall Gyratory system, are part of the TLRN and therefore under the control of TfL. Reflecting its proximity to Vauxhall transport interchange the site is extremely well served by public transport with bus, rail and underground services all within a short walking distance and this is reflected by the 6a – 6b PTAL values across the site. 10.4 The applicant has identified this site as a gateway or link between Vauxhall and the proposed Linear Park and the other VNEB developments beyond. With this in mind the applicant has attempted to design the layout of the site to facilitate significant pedestrian movements through it and the layout of the buildings and the resultant pedestrian routes through them tie-in with both proposed and existing pedestrian crossing facilities on Parry Street and Wandsworth Road respectively. The proposed “Vauxhall Square” provides a suitably wide pedestrian route through the site that would cater for the increased pedestrian flows generated by the VNEB developments, however, as it is proposed to hold public events within this space it is important that zones for seating or performance and walking are defined and maintained to ensure that sufficient width is retained for pedestrian movement at all times. 10.5 Previously the site layout resulted in pinch points around the exterior of the site but this has been largely addressed with an acceptable footway width retained around most of the perimeter and not all pedestrians would want to walk through the Vauxhall Square it is important that this is retained. 10.6 The proposed extension of Bondway southwards from Miles Street to link in with Wandsworth Road would provide a useful new pedestrian link called New Lane which would improve connectivity between this site and the surrounding area and at the same time also provide a new walking route to Vauxhall Cross from
