All Saints Hall, Blenheim Grove

2nd workshop from Council’s consultant Landolt & Brown. They say “Your feedback is enormously
helpful to us and everyone is welcome, so please join us on Thursday 16th April, whether you made
the first workshop or not. This will:

* update you on what you told us about your priorities and aspirations at the first session in March
and how this has fed into the design brief for the project.
* share more about Network Rail’s proposals for providing step-free access to the platforms.
* explain what we have learnt about the construction of the 1930’s buildings and how this might
impact the design,
* our initial thinking on the location of key tenants and uses, along with alternatives for the future
treatment of the Blenheim Grove corner building and Station Square.
* give an interactive group workshop to get your input on the emerging design.”

You can put queries, ideas, suggestions by email to peckhamrye@landoltandbrown.com

PECKHAM SQUARE CO-DESIGN

The ‘codesign’ consultation first stages on changes to Peckham Square have now concluded:
http://www.peckhamsquare.co.uk/#!about/cee5 There have been three workshops and some
walkabouts: http://www.peckhamsquare.co.uk/#!whatson/c24vq

The council want to build new housing and commercial buildings, and new gallery and cafe space.
Key issues that have emerged are whether the big arch should be removed or stay, and the heights
of new buildings. If you have views, queries or comments email: post@peckhamsquare.co.uk.

The next steps are not yet published but are likely to be developing the planning application. Get
your views in as soon as possible.
