Site Context<br />
The retail foodstore is part of the mixed use redevelopment of the Bermondsey Spa Action Area. This<br />
development is now nearing completion.<br />
The retail unit is located in Block F North. This is situated between Jamaica Road, Marine Street, and Freda<br />
Street, with an area of pedestrianised public open space to the north-west of the site.<br />
The retail unit is located on the ground floor of Block F North, with 8 floors of residential accommodation<br />
above and basement car parking below. On the ground floor there are also a number of residential flats and<br />
bin stores fronting onto Freda Street. The residential unit fronts onto Jamaica Road with a loading bay<br />
access from Marine Street.<br />
The site is surrounded on the east, south, and west by residential flats (Block S, Block F South, and Block F<br />
West respectively) provided as part of the same mixed-use regeneration scheme (<strong>04</strong>/AP/0102 below). To the<br />
north of the site is Jamaica Road (A200) which is a major thoroughfare through the area.<br />

All illumination will have a level of 110cd/m2 and will be static.<br />
All signs have been designed so as to be appropriate within the context of the location and to form an<br />
unobtrusive part of the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area. They pose no harm to<br />
public safety, highways movement, or light pollution in an already well lit location.<br />
The proposals do not relate to the setting, character, or appearance of a listed building, conservation area, or<br />
demolition of a building. Therefore a photomontage and heritage statement is not required by local or<br />
national validation requirements.<br />
I trust the Council will register this planning application without delay, but please do not hesitate to contact<br />
me should you require any further information, or have any questions.<br />
Yours sincerely<br />
