Decision details

(1)  The proposed Quietway cycle route from Lower Sydenham to Bromley and the proposed interventions are endorsed. 

(2)  The proposed Quietway cycle route from Lower Sydenham to Kent House Station and the proposed interventions are endorsed.

(3)  The Executive Director of Environment and Community Services is authorised to sign-off the Quietways Definition Plan (QDP) to enable TfL to formally review the proposals and make a final decision on whether to proceed with funding for the routes.

(4)  Assuming that TfL approval for the Quietways, as proposed in the QDP, is granted, Council officers are permitted to begin an informal consultation with relevant stakeholders on the proposed interventions in early 2017 which is expected to take up to three months.

Approval is given to two proposed Quietway routes so that Council officers and TfL’s delivery partners, Sustrans, can progress the routes to detailed design and implementation stages.

With the proposed routes endorsed by this decision, it will now be possible to sign-off the Quietways Definition Plan (QDP) and TfL can make a final judgment on whether to release funding for the two schemes. If approved by TfL, a detailed design for both schemes will be prepared.

The two Quietways in Bromley are:

(i) from Lower Sydenham to Bromley town centre as part of Phase 2.2, joining-up with the proposed Greenwich to Kent House Station route just outside the borough boundary on Waterlink Way in L B Lewisham; and

(II)  the section of the Greenwich to Kent House Station route from Lower Sydenham Station to Kent House Station.

Should TfL decide to fund implementation, informal consultation can be undertaken with relevant stakeholders on proposed interventions with further Member and public consultation (including statutory consultation where necessary) taking place during the design process, prior to implementation.
