HERNE HILL JUNCTION
HERNE HILL JUNCTION ( ITEM FROM HERNE HILL SOCIETY)
Details of the planning application for changes to
the Brockwell Park boundary are currently on the
Lambeth Planning website. These changes are minor and
will only serve to enhance the Park and make access
safer and easier. Moving the Park boundary by only a
few metres at its maximum is an essential part of the
Project. If planning permission is not granted then
the whole project will collapse.
A small group of people, whose motive seems to be to
stop the Project at all costs, irrespective of the
benefits that it will bring to Herne Hill, are
trying to whip up opposition to the application. It
is therefore essential that everyone who supports the
project makes that support clear to Lambeth Planning.
You can comment on the application at the following
link.
http://planning.lambeth.gov.uk/publicaccess/tdc/DcApplication/application_searchresults.aspx
Enter the application reference 07/03341/RG3, click on
'Search' and on 'Click to View'.
If you want to help make the Project succeed, act
now or lose it. You have until 2 November to make
your views known to Lambeth.

Paul emailed these details around. I think they should be available here.
Below is a summary of the scheme
What are the Project’s main features?
* Pedestrian priority for the southern end of Railton and closing it to through traffic.
• An open space in the centre of the Junction linking Herne Hill and the Park, providing safer access to the Park and reducing the dominance of traffic in the junction.
• Improvements to Brockwell Passage to make it safer, providing direct access to Dulwich Rd.
• Removal of double decker buses from the narrow residential side streets.
• Simplifying the junction to reduce excess vehiclemovements and providing more public space.
•Light-controlled crossings of all roads and an additional pedestrian crossing in Milkwood Road.
• Forward cycle stop-lines throughout and safer crossing points for cyclists.
• Improvements to road junctions giving more pavement space and direct crossings.
• A narrow slip road to improve traffic flow between Norwood Road and Dulwich Road.
• Additional bus lanes and a northbound bus stop in Norwood Road.
• Additional parking bays and more short-term parking for local shoppers.
• High quality landscape throughout providing visual linkage between the streets and the park.
What are the main benefits?
• It will bring a renewed economic and social vitalityto Herne Hill.
• Significantly improved park entrance, with pleasanter and safer access to Brockwell Park.
• Increased space and safety for pedestrians and cyclists in the junction and surrounding areas.
• Environmental improvements which will make the area and park entrance more attractive.
• Improved trading environment and encouragement for economic regeneration.
• More bus lanes, fewer bus delays and more rational interchanges, reducing journey times.
• Rerouting of double-decker buses away from narrow residential streets,
• Less pollution, smoother traffic flows and fewer hold-ups.
• Retention of the mature maple tree and more tree-planting in the junction and approach roads.
• Improved disabled access to the station.
