(N.21) STAKEHOLDERS'
PROCESS
Also known as Crystal Palace Dialogue, Stakeholders' Forum, Dialogue
Process etc...
The Stakeholders' Process was
initiated by the Crystal Palace Campaign in June 2002 but was run by
an independent facilitator, Nigel Westaway and Associates now with
help from the Environment Council and sponsored by the London
Development Association (LDA).
The Stakeholders' Process consists
of three bodies:
The Main Group - a broadly
based body, essentially the 'controlling' forum to which two other
working groups report. The Main Group has all the stakeholders as its
members, including local councils, representatives from the Mayor's
Office and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (Tessa Jowel
is the current DCMS Secretary of State and Olympics Minister), sports
representatives etc. and some individual residents.
The Park Working Group -
small distillation from the Main Group conducting regular detailed
meetings investigating, park policy, park changes, criteria for park
improvements, regeneration plans, inter-stakeholders' liaison,
including the LDA, English Heritage, The Crystal Palace Museum, the
amenity groups, residents associations etc. This group is guided by
and reports back to the Main group.
The Sports Working Group -
concentrates on sport in the park including plans for a new sports
centre, now believed to be scheduled for 2014. This group reports
back to the Park Working Group with which it has a close liaison.
MAIN GROUP MEETING 14 October
2006: people are formally invited to participate who have
essentially been part of the process since its inception. This
includes many local groups and also individual residents. However,
anyone may attend as an observer, but please contact the organisers
first - this aids catering, and general organisation: contact:
Erica Sutton, at The
Environment Council (TEC).

- The Core Principles (part of the consultation) for the Park
were very widely approved - details can be found in the
LDA press release of 24th January
2006. A full report of the Consultation results will be
published following the Main Group meeting on 4th March - see
later.
- Following the first analysis of the results, it was clear
that there were some reservations from the respondents
concerning the proposed residential areas particularly at the
Norwood Triangle Gate (formerly known as the Anerley Roundabout
entrance).
- A brief was presented to architectural advisors who
sketched out some new ideas for the Norwood Gate which now were
to have no residential content. These were discussed at the
Park Working Group meeting of 20th February and will be
presented at the Main Group Meeting.
- The brief contained the comment:
- The "Norwood Gate has been
identified, through consultations, as being the most factious
element of the vision and master plan. With particular concern
over the idea of incorporating a residential
element.
- "As a result, it was agreed
with the Park Working Group on 07_12_05 to develop an outline
brief in response to the concerns, and generate further ideas
to achieve a consensus."
