Discussion of Areas of Conflict
Each of the major areas of conflict were discusse briefly, not with the intention of resolving them, but to clarify the range of options and the reasonsfor them.
Area Number Conference Centre/'Eden'
project: Toy power Boats: concern is over
noise of toy power boats, disturbance to birds and
appearance. Parking/overflow parking: Penge gate
parking should be retained as is well used Restore track for historic motor
events or as pedestrian/cycle route: Historic motor events -
concern over noise. It's part of the history of the Parkland
only once per year. Takes up a lot of the park(?) Concerns re access, parking,
disturbance, loss of tranquillity & "naturalness" of
hilltop Leisure complex - would like to see
a suitable entertainment venue. Parking for triangle inside park
area: - need parking somewhere - might be best all in one
place. Don't want parking for non-park users in park.
Glazed escarpment: - ideal way to
incorporate all other ideas and still open up park. No
development on top site - need more info. Building didn't
seem to fit into park. Grass on building wouldn't be as
natural. Rebuild CP: - Park was based around
the Palace. Paxton was an innovator-he wouldn't like it
rebuilt-should do something else. Consider having a different forum to
discuss development options. Sculpture Park: - depends on what
type, could be a venue for new sculpture and bring in young.
Most people could live with it. Vandalism would be a
threat Commercial development: - issue of
cost if building over tracks (sic). General Park Issues CCTV & public address system:
mixed views on both - security versus intrusion Parking: private? only
disabled?
want building gone, so don't need to discuss what would go
in it.
Wildlife area: controlled access best solution
Reinstate for pedestrians/cyclists - safety concerns
Triathlon to be held on 31 May - very popular
Concert bowl: replace stage, canopy & speakers. No-one
wants to get rid of bowl. 2006 may see the return of
classical concerts
Want something primarily public.
Would help provide income. Area is redundant at present.
Watch out for CP Act.
Most people think that
Main Group meetings should be publicly advertised but
