SITE C (Decathlon)

However, Decathlon have appealed against this decision (click here to view) and you may wish to comment on the application which would close the public piazza / popular pedestrian route at night moving all pedestrian traffic via the ill lit alternative near BHS.

Applicant has appealed the refusal..
SITE E (Conrad Phoenix - Home Depot)

03-AP-2071 (duplicate 03-AP-0637) Appealed on grounds of non-determination.
Appeal concluded. Secretary of State decision before August 4th, 2005.
LEISURE CENTRE 04-AP-2357
Application granted for 2 storey leisure club near UCI cinema and re arrangement of car park.
SHOPPING CENTRES LTD.-TESCO & SLOUGH ESTATES
Shopping Centres Ltd and Tesco are now in negotiations with British Land & Canada Quays.
The Shopping Centres Ltd. planning application (02-AP-1756), for an extension to the Tesco store and the rerouting of the footpath to Greenland Dock, was refused by Southwark Council for the following reasons:
1. The proposed extension would result in a poor layout and arrangement that would be detrimental to the safety and security of pedestrians using the walkway between the shopping centre and Greenland Dock, contrary to Policy E.1.1 ‘Safety and Security in the Environment’ in the Southwark Unitary Development Plan and Policy 3.16 ‘Safety in Design’ in the draft Southwark Plan (Nov. 2002).
2. The proposal would result in the loss of a well designed public area, and its replacement by a poor quality design for this part of the shopping centre, in particular the public areas, contrary to Policies E.2.5 ‘External Space’; E.3.1 ‘Protecting Amenity’; and E.3.4 ‘Upgrading the Environment’ of the Southwark Unitary Development Plan, and Policies 3.2 ‘Protection of Amenity’; 3.14 ‘Quality in Design’; and 3.15 ‘Urban Design’ in the draft Southwark Plan (Nov. 2002).
Recently Shopping Centres Ltd have addressed the points made by the community and Canada Water Campaign and met with the Chair and members of the CWC to present new plans which are shown here:
Download plan The extension is shown in turquoise and the road has been re-routed. The car park nearest the red iron bridge has been removed allowing for a wider footpath to the Greenland Dock underpass.
These plans seem to address all the points made by CWC and permission was granted at Rotherhithe Community Council on 26th July.
DOWNTOWN
04-AP-1721 submitted by Barratt - 281 dwellings in 8, 4-9 storey blocks. 131 1 bed, 134 2 bed flats plus a community centre and new health centre. Barratt are currently in the process of reviewing the application because of the number of objections.
DOWNTOWN 04-AP-1721 (Revised)
Application for 268 dwellings in 8, 4-6 storey blocks. 126 1 bed, 119 2 B, 6 4B & 5 5B flats plus a community centre and new health centre. Overdevelopment and health implications of undercroft car park near health centre and school a cause for concern.

FISHER ATHLETIC FOOTBALL CLUB 05-AP-0590
(Salter Road – adjacent to Mellish Fields)

St PAUL’S FIELDS (LBS)
On hold until Mellish and Canada Water master plan agreed.
QUEBEC WAY (Ampurius- currently Boots & European Bakery)
