the site within the public realm to cater for visitors to the site. This would be
policy compliant in terms of the London Plan. Details have been be secured by
condition to ensure that the provision is indeed acceptable with details of the
specification of the storage and what access controls are in place.
10.19 A TfL Cycle Hire facility would need to be provided as part of the development
and an area of footway is to be safeguarded on Wandsworth Road to
accommodate this. TfL have requested a sum of money to be paid by the
applicant, which would facilitate this provision. This has been agreed and would
secured via the Section 106 Agreement.
10.20 Public Transport
The submitted Transport Assessment assesses the likely demand generated for
local public transport services. TfL have confirmed that the proposed
development would generate a significant demand across all public transport
modes and the development is therefore required to make appropriate financial
contribution towards access and capacity commensurate with the scale of the
development. Officers support this view and financial contributions should be
secured through the relevant means.
10.21 Public Realm
An integral part of the scheme is the creation of a large element of new public
space within the centre of the site currently to be known as ‘Vauxhall Square’.
Further to this the applicant is proposing to reconstruct the relevant section of
Bondway and Miles Street to create a shared surface, deliver improvements to
the Miles Street railway tunnel and to create a new pedestrian route continuing
southwards from Bondway to link in with Wandsworth Road to be known as
‘New Lane’. In terms of Miles Street it is required that the full length of Miles
Street from its junction with Wandsworth Road through to South Lambeth Road
is included in scope of works and not just the length from Wandsworth Road
through to the viaduct.
10.22 Overall it is recognised that, subject to agreement on materials and
specifications, this scheme could offer the significant improvements to the public
realm needed in this area to accommodate both the demands of this scheme
and also the numerous other major developments proposed within the VNEB
area. The scheme also proposes a new formal pedestrian crossing on
Wandsworth Road linking this site to the Linear Park and this is shown on the
proposed plans on a diagonal angle so as to best meet expected desire lines
and alterations are also proposed to the existing formal crossing on Parry Street
from the site to the bus station. The design and location of the proposed
pedestrian crossings, particularly from Wandsworth Road one, are critical to the
acceptability of this scheme and would need to be agreed prior to in-principle
with TfL prior to consent being granted.
10.23 Servicing & Coach Parking
A range of servicing options is proposed to cater for the various uses contained
on the site with large delivery vehicles accommodated off-street within a
