Sustainable growth

Strategic outcomes

Strategic outcomes	Success criteria	Where
A radical overhaul of rail services delivers a high frequency ‘metro’ style service at our rail stations.	We have successfully campaigned for much more frequent train services so that people are confident to turn up at the station without needing to check a timetable. TfL’s South London Metro concept has been implemented, including new connections and improved interchange between services.	Borough-wide
The vast majority of trips in the borough are made on foot, by cycle or using public transport and the impact of development related motor traffic is minimised.	Growth in the borough embeds car free lifestyles, with decreased levels of car ownership and use across the borough. Construction and freight safety and mitigation measures minimise the impact of development. Extended kerbside controls promote non-car modes. Increased bus capacity and coverage. Only essential vehicular motor traffic in locations with high pedestrian demand and in growth areas such as Waterloo. Delivery of the Healthy Route Network, linking all our neighbourhoods and town centres.	Borough-wide areas

Priority actions

Priority actions	Success criteria	Where
Lambeth’s major town centres and opportunity areas benefit from the highest quality public realm, driving investment and attracting business and visitors from all over the world.	Investment in town centres/business districts, low vacancy rates, employment growth, increased commercial activity.	Borough-wide
We will support the Mayor of London in lobbying for rail devolution while working with industry stakeholders to deliver service enhancements.	Key objectives for ‘metroisation’ identified in the TSIP, with Lambeth playing an active role in developing the business case. Input to franchise process and route consultations e.g. promote additional services from existing stations, improved station facilities, including cycle parking to meet demand.	Borough-wide
We will work with industry stakeholders and through the planning process to secure improvements to capacity, access and interchange at Waterloo, Vauxhall and Brixton stations.	Station environment and access improvements at Waterloo, Vauxhall and Brixton secured through adjacent developments.	Focus on growth areas
We will use our Planning Authority powers to secure car free development and improvements to the transport network.	Revised car parking standards, with car-free the default. Public realm improvements, enhanced bus services, improvements for walking and cycling secured through development. Requirement for freight consolidation to reduce motor traffic impacts. Adoption of revised Local Plan in 2020.	Borough-wide
We will require development to prioritise safety and environmental protection during construction and protect local streets from development related motor traffic.	Development proposals consider construction impacts at an early stage and rigorous, well monitored management plans are implemented as part of a process that is transparent to affected communities. Traffic management during construction provides a safe and accessible environment for walking and cycling. Requirement to use the safest vehicles, including the Mayor’s Direct Vision Standard, during construction and in any council procurement.	Focus on growth areas
We will work with TfL to deliver major improvements at Vauxhall Cross, Waterloo IMAX, Lambeth Bridge and Streatham Hill and identify and promote further improvements across Lambeth including at Tulse Hill gyratory and delivery of the Healthy Route Network.	Delivery of schemes (start date): Vauxhall Cross 2020/21, Waterloo IMAX 2020/21, Lambeth Bridge 2021/22, Streatham Hill 2020/21, Updated project information to be published in the TSIP, including details of investment secured and prospective schemes.
