Post Office Closure 8 Woolwich Road SE10 0JU
The Post Office is currently consulting about a proposal to close the post office in Annandale Road. Although this is strictly outside the Westcombe Park area, it was the designated alternative post office when the one in Station Crescent was closed. As such, it is the nearest/most convenient office for many residents, particularly the elderly and infirm who do not relish the climb up a steep hill to the strangely misnamed ‘Westcombe Hill Post Office’ (a.k.a Dave & Ginas’s), or the queues when they get there. Given the big housing expansion in the Woolwich Road area, it seems very likely to exacerbate the congestion already experienced in the alternatives (the queue was outside the door in Dave & Gina’s today). Parking is relatively easy in Annandale Road.
Anyone wishing to object to the closure should contact Anita Turner, Network Development Manager [sic], c/o National Consultation Team, FREEPOST, Consultation Team or e-mail consultation@postoffice.co.uk
The consultation deadline is 2nd April

Council Plans For Your Future – Have Your Say
The Council is currently preparing its Core Strategy document, which will set the foundation for the Local Development Framework. This is the successor to the 2006 Unitary Development plan (UDP).
In 2006 the last UDP downgraded Blackheath Standard from the fourth largest District Shopping centre in the borough to a local centre, removing much of the protection that small retailers in Old Dover Road had previously enjoyed. It also quietly removed ‘Community Open Space’ status from part of the grounds of Mycenae House, even though it was in an area of public open space deficiency, where it was official Council policy to increase the provision of public open space and improve access.
The Council says it wishes to involve residents from the earliest stages of creating this new document. To achieve this, comments are invited on the key planning issues affecting the borough and the options for addressing them. Questionnaires can be completed online, or downloaded from http://tinyurl.com/24gm5m
Comments must be submitted before 7th April. Vigilance is important to ensure Westcombe Park does not suffer further setbacks in the new plans.

Village Green Application for Woodlands
Many local residents may not have seen the report in the Mercury about the the application for the grounds of Woodlands to be registered as Village Green under recent legislation, preserving the grounds from development and allowing them to be used for lawful sports and pastimes in perpetuity. This complements the recently started renovation of Woodlands House, which the Council had allowed to fall into a sorry state. The application, which received the unanimous support of some 160 local residents, was rejected (by one vote).
Due to the sensitivity of the issue and the conflict of interest (the Council would be a major financial beneficiary if the application were rejected) it was originally expected to be heard by an independent public enquiry. The Council’s legal advice was that where there was a dispute on the facts or on whether use has been ‘as of right’, “the practice of commons registration authorities has been to hold a ‘non-statutory public enquiry’ whereby an independent inspector is appointed to hear the evidence”
Although an independent public enquiry is not mandatory, Lady Justice Arden opined, in an important test case, that ”if the registration authority has itself to make a decision on the application….. it should proceed only after receiving the report of an independent expert (by which I mean a legal expert) who has at the registration authority's request held a non-statutory public inquiry”.
She added that “One advantage of such an inquiry is that the proceedings can take place with some degree of informality and utilising a flexible approach to procedure. Moreover, those conducting the inquiry may be able to take account of evidence which is not strictly admissible. This may be a valuable feature of an inquiry, given the period of time over which actions of local inhabitants may have to be investigated. The authority may indeed consider that it owes an obligation to have an inquiry if the matter is of great local interest”.
But the plan was changed. It was decided that the hearing would not be by an independent inspector but by the full Council chaired by the mayor. Even that was later amended in favour of a three person committee chaired by the Leader of the Council (a procedure which was contrary to the Council’s Constitution, which had to be specially amended for the purpose). The Committee split on party lines.
Such a committee is clearly biased (using the term in the technical rather than pejorative sense). The English Standards Board, which provides guidance to Councillors on standards of conduct, has advised that a “decision-making body cannot make an unbiased decision, or a decision which objectively looks impartial, if a councillor serving on it is closely connected with one of the parties involved.” None of the Councillors declared an interest, but all are connected to the Council, the sole objector and the main beneficiary of the committee’s decision.
A fresh application is now expected drawing the Registrar's attention to an important clause (Section 15(7)(b) the Committee had failed to take into account (it was not even mentioned in the legal advice they received). The clause provides that the fact that the access gate was locked overnight after a security lock was fitted in 2000 must be disregarded in determining if the use was 'as of right'.

Planning Applications - May 2007
Note. Details of most planning applications can be found in the East Greenwich or Old Dover Road libraries or at the Strategic Planning, Peggy Middleton House, 50 Woolwich New Road, Woolwich SE18 6HQ. If you wish to comment or object to any planning applications you may do so and you have approximately 21 days from the date of publication on the Greenwich Council website. As it takes some time for the printing of the Westcombe News it can on occasions be too late for any submission, so it is now intended to publish these applications also on the Westcombe Society Blog on a more frequent basis, hopefully weekly, but this will depend partly on the Greenwich Council website itself.

Woolwich to get Crossrail after all....!
March 22nd - Written Ministerial Statement...
Douglas Alexander (Secretary of State, Department for Transport) - Hansard source
The House will recall the extensive discussion in the Crossrail Instruction debate on 31 October about a station at Woolwich, adding £186 million to the cost of the scheme. This could simply not be afforded given the scale of the overall funding challenge. I said then, however, that I was willing to give Cross London Rail Links Ltd-the Crossrail Company-the time needed to explore with others, including the London Borough of Greenwich, whether there was a way of significantly reducing that cost.
I am pleased today to inform the House of important developments that point a way forward.
The key to this has been Greenwich Council's recent proposal for a major revision to its spatial plan, to allow a significantly higher density of development at Woolwich. This, in turn, has prompted Berkeley Homes to offer a means of enabling a station to be built at Woolwich but, crucially, without adding to the current cost of Crossrail.
In light of this, agreement has been reached in principle with Berkeley Homes under which they will build the basic box structure of a station at Woolwich and then construct their own development overhead. This will all be done at their own risk, using their own money, to the specification laid down by CLRL, with a payment back to Berkeley Homes of the saving CLRL will make through avoiding other works at Woolwich, when it constructs the line there.
In due course, Berkeley Homes would then arrange for the completion of the station box to full operational status. Both they and Greenwich Council recognise that the completion of the station would be conditional on receiving sufficient funding contributions from those developers and businesses that stand to benefit from a Crossrail station at Woolwich. The contributions would be in addition to any London-wide Crossrail funding arrangements that may be agreed and no additional public sector debt capacity would be made available. Fit-out of the station could take place only once sufficient private sector contributions had been received.
More work needs to be done to flesh out this deal but the House can now have sufficient confidence that Berkeley and Greenwich Council have the commitment and the right incentives to do that. This is a very significant change from the position last October as there is now a clear way forward that can deliver a station at Woolwich without adding to the costs of Crossrail already identified.
On this basis I am now able to bring forward an amendment to the Bill to provide powers for the station. In due course, the House will be invited to agree a further instruction to the Committee in respect of Woolwich.

Greenwich Waterfront Transit plans on show
Greenwich Council are giving residents the opportunity to visit a consultation exhibition and find out about plans on a major new transport scheme and how they will be linked into a range of local improvements to nearby roads and public spaces.
The Greenwich Waterfront Transit (GWT) will be a brand new fast, frequent and reliable service between Abbey Wood and North Greenwich Station, via Thamesmead and Woolwich and experts from Transport for London's GWT team will be on hand to update people on its progress.
The exhibition will be set up in Woolwich Town Centre on Friday 23 and Saturday 24 March, next to Natwest Bank in Powis Street, and there will also be an opportunity to speak with council staff about the range of regeneration schemes taking place in Woolwich and across the rest of the borough.
Deputy Leader of Greenwich Council and Cabinet member for Regeneration, Councillor Peter Brooks said, "A huge wave of change will sweep through Greenwich over the next decade and events like this give residents an opportunity to find out exactly what will be taking place. I would like to encourage residents to take the time to visit and give their views on the plans for their borough."
