Nine Elms Lane Response to Issues Raised report (PDF 1.05MB)

Following careful consideration of the consultation responses, we have reached a decision about our proposals as follows:

Sections 1 to 3 (from Macduff Road to adjacent to Stewart’s Road)

We continue to work closely with the London Borough of Wandsworth to review and modify our proposals for these sections, and to understand the impact this will have on the local area. Our review of these sections is looking to provide enhanced provision for cyclists and pedestrians.

We aim to reach a decision and provide further update about our proposals for these sections, including an updated response to issues raised report, in early 2019.

Sections 4 to 7 (Stewart’s Road to Lassco)

We are progressing our designs for these sections, taking into account the comments received. We are committed to working with the London Borough of Wandsworth to progress with detailed designs which include improved pedestrian space, stepped cycle tracks and bus stop bypasses.

Subject to securing the necessary technical and governance approvals, construction on the scheme as a whole is likely to take place between 2020 and 2021.

Local residents will be aware of the ongoing changes in the area resulting from different phases of the development work. Along with the London Borough of Wandsworth, we are committed to minimising the long term impact of construction on local residents, businesses and other stakeholders.

We will coordinate our proposals with other schemes in area including the Northern line extension and Vauxhall Cross. We continue to work with developers to influence interim changes in the area, and to embed the principles of our proposals as part of the development works. This also includes working with utility companies so utility locations and connections are future-proofed, wherever possible, to minimise utility work during the delivery of our proposed changes along Nine Elms Lane and Battersea Park Road.

Results Updated 19 Mar 2018

Between 3 July 2017 and 20 August 2017, we consulted on proposals to transform the 2.5km stretch of road from the Vauxhall Gyratory, along Nine Elms Lane and Battersea Park Road to Macduff Road, connecting to Cycle Superhighway 8 (CS8).

We received 930 responses to our consultation questionnaire online or through a paper copy (for example, completed the questionnaire at an exhibition) or by unique email. Of those who responded, 30 per cent strongly supported the overall proposals while 13 per cent partially supported, 8 per cent partially opposed, 46 per cent strongly opposed, 3 per cent neither supported or opposed, and less than 1 per cent had no opinion.

We also received a number of responses directly from stakeholders which are included in the report.

A full report detailing our analysis of the consultation is available below.

Nine Elms Lane Consultation Report (PDF 3.43MB)

The consultation was an extremely valuable exercise in understanding views on our proposals for Nine Elms Lane and Battersea Park Road.

Taking into account a significant number of responses about sections 1 to 3 of the proposed scheme, we are reviewing the principles of the design for these sections.

We are progressing the proposed design for sections 4 to 7 of the route. We continue to review the comments received during the consultation to further develop the design for sections 4 to 7 of the scheme.

We plan to publish a detailed response to the issues raised during consultation, as well as a decision on how to proceed, during summer 2018.

We will continue working with the London Borough of Wandsworth and other key stakeholders to ensure a coordinated approach with other development works in the area.
