i. Create a sense of place throughout the corridor;

ii. Improve pedestrian/cycling safety and movement;

iii. Improve connections with nearby cycle routes;

iv. Enhance public realm through green infrastructure-led improvements;

v. Improve air quality along the Corridor;

vi. Reduce the dominance of motor vehicles;

vii. Encourage use of sustainable public transport;

viii. Reduce traffic speeds through the creative planting and placement of green infrastructure, speed cameras and raised plateaux to create a sense of arrival in the higher footfall areas. Ease bus movements and simplify road layouts;

ix. Ease traffic congestion;

x. Provide new and safer pedestrian crossings;

xi. Achieve improvements to the pedestrian environment, including increasing the amount of space for pedestrians around public transport facilities and in local neighbourhood centres and parades;

xii. would result in a substantial greening of the corridor, including where possible boulevard planting at 7-10m intervals of medium to large street trees which are in keeping with the scale of the roadway and pavement between buildings;

xiii. Create attractive ‘gateways’ into the Neighbourhood Plan area at Crofton Park and Brockley Rise/Stanstead Road;

xiv. Provide parking bays in appropriate locations, with provision for car clubs and electric charging points;

The Involvement of Transport for London and the London Borough of Lewisham together with the local community in developing proposals is encouraged.
