edhistory Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Still puzzled how this will get planning permission.I presume the project has had advance consultations with Southwark Building Control and Southwark Planning.Has the planning application been submitted?John K Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/70863-the-peckham-coal-line-urban-park/page/3/#findComment-899358 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blah Blah Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 How can they submit a planning application before they've done a feasability study? That's what they are crowdfunding for.

edhistory Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Have a read of the Southwark Council guidance document "Design and access statements" (2007).I would expect the Coal Line Project to have discussed the requirements with Southwark Building Control and Southwark Planning before launching a crowd funding exercise.Both have been known to offer free pro bono advice for a public realm project.Southwark Council may say that the project is unlikely to get permmision or has a very high indicative cost.Then the project can decide whether to do crowd funding.My question stands.Has the planning application been submitted?John K Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/70863-the-peckham-coal-line-urban-park/page/3/#findComment-900588 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blah Blah Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Why don't you email the project team directly? Their site info does say that they have the support of Southwark Council, and that Peckham Vision and others have got them to the stage they are at so far. As Southwark don't own the land however, I would guess that Network Rail would be the ones to seek planning permission when things are more developed design wise.They seem to be connected to the rights sources for a project of this nature.

TheCoalLine Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 Just to update you: the project was featured on BBC London news yesterday evening: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b069x456/bbc-london-news-15092015 (expires 7pm this evening)Yesterday we received significant financial backing from the Mayor of London towards the project.Mayor Boris Johnson said:?The Peckham Coal Line project is a fantastic example of how we can harness the enthusiasm of civic crowdfunding and work more directly with Londoners to improve their neighbourhoods. I urge you to go online and help your local project reach their total.? We said:?Community spirit is unquantifiable and intangible but we all recognise that it is a vital asset and driver of a successful city. The skills of connected residents are an underused resource, We are reaching a time where Architecture can no longer be prescribed. Successful urban initiatives have to be adopted, embraced and loved by the people who use them. This sense of shared ownership can best be fostered when communities either instigate or are included in the process from the outset.So this is our time to make our own opportunity not just take what is given to us.This progressive approach means a shared responsibility in making things happen and the Coal line needs commitment from the public, from charities, foundations and corporations. We need government to step up and we need businesses to invest in making this a truly shared endeavour. So if you are an individual, or you represent a business or government agency and you?d like to help pioneer a future approach to urban space through an exciting project that, despite its modest budget has transformative potential, then join our journey. Donate through Spacehive and let us know how you can help.?We still have a way to go ? so we?d really appreciate your continued support.@edhistory - detailed planning applications are part of the next stage. We have outline support from all the key stakeholders/landowners.

TheCoalLine Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 Hi all. Thanks, yes it was ?10000 from the Mayor.Just to let you know we'll be doing some walks as part of Open House this weekend for anyone who is interested.There is a talk at the CLF cafe (1st Floor of Bussey Building) at 12.00 tomorrow and 12.00 on Sunday and then walks on the hour from 1pm-5pm Saturday and 10am-midday on Sunday (starting same place).The Mayor's pledge was a big help but we still have a long way to go to get to the total (Its an all or nothing deal and the deadline is the 31st October). - so thinking about planning applications is very much a next step. It is important that the Coal Line becomes part of the new Southwark Plan which outlines the ambitions for the council so please ask your councillors to support this.Please come along and hear what it's all about tomorrow.Thanks again for the support.PCL Team Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/70863-the-peckham-coal-line-urban-park/page/3/#findComment-902953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCoalLine Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 A quick update. We are now at 60% with 24 days to go.If any of you are around on Saturday afternoon please come down to Peckham where we are doing a 'Beer Line walk' - a history trail between the areas breweries (Gosnells, Brick, The Nines(bar) and Rebellion) to support the Peckham Coal Line Park - each brewery is producing a Coal Line drink for example Brick is making a porter - this dark beer was traditionally drunk by railway workers. We are celebrating the areas industrial past and future - supporting local business, raising money for a park and drinking beer.. whats not to like.. so come celebrate October and the Peckham Coal Line.

TheCoalLine Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 Hello East Dulwich,Amazing - We?ve done it!Just before the weekend we received Southwark Councils pledge of ?10000, which, with your pledges to date, means together we have reached the target.With just 5 days left and an ever growing wave of momentum we want to see just how far we can get, with more of course we can do more and stretch the scope and reach of the Coal Line further. For this reason the ?10000 pledge will be included at the last minute because if it were added now the campaign would close ? this allows those of you who still want to be part of our journey the chance to join in this movement. Together we are proving that we have the ability to transform where we live ourselves rather than it imposed by external forces ? so as we close the first chapter its not too late to join in the story. Come and meet your fellow pioneers at drinks at the Hope this Thursday from 7pm: https://www.facebook.com/events/761467337294940/Thanks,Nickhttp://www.spacehive.com/peckhamcoalline Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/70863-the-peckham-coal-line-urban-park/page/3/#findComment-919388 Share on other sites More sharing options...
