STAKEHOLDERS'
DIALOGUE PROCESS
Short report
& update:
Recent meetings have pointed to some interesting
developments in the Master-planning-consultation process
which is rapidly moving forward:Capel Manor College
- planning application was made to Bromley Council on 20
February 2007 and is due to be heard in April.The case number is: 07/00665/FULL1
Crystal Palace Park
Thicket Road
London Access to details is is via the Bromley
website, Planning section.The main campus of the College at Enfield
was visited by members of the Park Working Group in January
to take a look at their facilities*. The overall impression
was very good and virtually everyone agreed that Capel Manor
College, including the animals, would be a welcome addition
to the Park. They symbolise excellence in their education
activities with students who, as demonstrated at Enfield,
are responsible and more than capable of fulfilling a
complex set of requirements. The LDA will be providing a funding
package which enables Capel manor to
(1) open the farm to the public, without charge, for a minimum of 3 to 4 hours on weekends and 2 to 3 hours on weekdays for an average of 5 to 6 days a week. Visting times will vary according to season.
(2) provide day visits for up to 3,000 schoolchildren a year to the farm (at no charge to the schools).
(3) provide enhanced facilities for visitors to the farm and a wider range of animals than that originally planned i.e. Kune Kune pigs, goats, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, hamsters, gerbils, degus, chinchillas, parakeets, finches, snakes, small lizards, amphibians, alpacas, Shetland ponies.
Capel Manor will be running an
afternoon exhibition and Q&A session at the old
farm site in the park:DATE: 17 March 2007

this work will be closely tied to the overall Park
plan.Crystal Palace Station -
Turnstiles - Bromley Council have approved plans by the
LDA and work is expected to begin shortly after the Easter
holidays. The ugly concrete turnstiles will be demolished
and replaced by a "simple functional landscaped area" which
will provide an attractive and friendly entrance to the Park
- no longer hidden behind steel bars and concrete. This
scheme will be one of the first of a series of initial
improvements to the park ahead of the formal
masterplan.Public Workshop - the second
public workshop on the future of Crystal Palace Park
