Waterloo development framework

Waterloo is identified in the London Plan as an 'Opportunity Area' for which the Mayor of London should prepare a development framework with local stakeholders. As a key stakeholder, the council has been closely involved in the preparation of the document with the Mayor and other key stakeholders, including the London Development Agency, Transport for London and Network Rail.

The framework sets out a new vision for Waterloo: 'To give Waterloo a new 'Town Square' that also serves as a public transport interchange space; to improve permeability to and within the area and provide new development principally in the area around and above Waterloo Station."

Objectives are set out for meeting the vision including redeveloping and redefining Waterloo Station so that it becomes a new centre for the area; removing general traffic from Waterloo Road and giving priority to pedestrians, cyclists and public transport.

Comments on the draft framework were invited during the consultation period, which ended on 28 April 2006.

Further information and documentation is also available on the Mayor of London's Waterloo Development Framework web page.
