Southwark plans new policy to allow tall buildings in more places

Extract from Southwark's existing core strategy

"... the locations that could accommodate tall buildings are limited to the area around London Bridge Station east of Borough High Street, Elephant & Castle and the northern end of Blackfriars Road. The core part of Peckham, Canada Water and Aylesbury action areas could also be suitable for tall buildings ... In other areas tall buildings are not appropriate because they are not very built up, do not have good public transport access, are covered by conservation areas or have other heritage asset implications".

Extract from the 2014 issues and options paper

"The appropriate areas for tall and large buildings are:
45.1.1 Central Activities Zone.
46.1.2 Elephant & Castle, Bankside, Borough & London Bridge, Old Kent Road (proposed) Canada Water (proposed) Opportunity Areas.
45.1.3 Peckham and Aylesbury Action Area cores.
45.1.4 Elephant & Castle, Canada Water and Peckham Major Town Centres.
45.1.5 Locations outside of these areas may be sensitive or inappropriate for tall and large buildings. However, some locations may be appropriate and will be considered on their planning merits on a case by case basis."
