6th The future of the oxford street district Draft Place Strategy and Delivery Plan Summary Consultation 6th November to 6th December 208 Nov 6th Dec www.osd.london

Place Strategy and delivery plan at a glance Westminster City Council is asking local residents, businesses, workers and visitors for feedback on new proposals to improve the Oxford Street District. We have developed a new strategy and delivery plan to tackle a wide range of issues. Here are the key challenges and how we plan to address them, at a glance. Challenges facing the district Not enough space for pedestrians It can be very busy for pedestrians using Oxford Street and parts of the surrounding district Poor quality public realm The current pedestrian environment is not pleasant Poor air quality Oxford Street and the surrounding district is one of the most polluted areas in the UK Poor road safety With the expected increase in pedestrians, it is critical that the road safety issues on Oxford Street and throughout the district are addressed Rapidly changing retail trends and fierce online competition for shops Oxford Street s reputation is declining and high street retail is increasingly moving away from traditional shopping, towards leisure, entertainment and experiences More flexibility required in our planning rules The district and the wider West End faces a shortage of employment floorspace which needs to be addressed Accessibility It can be difficult to get to and move around the district What we want to achieve We have developed twelve area wide principles which, taken collectively, will work together to create a great district. We want to: Have easy access for all to a beautiful, safe, clean, well-managed and improved district 2 Support economic growth across the district 3 Design and manage the district for flexibility 4 Enhance the area s remarkable assets and improve connections in the district 5 Prioritise pedestrians 6 Make the district better for cycling 7 Create beautiful streets and public spaces across the district 8 Enrich the cultural life of the district 9 Create much more green space, including many more street trees 0 Have an improved management plan to ensure the district is safe and well maintained Improve safety 2 Improve air quality There are also three principles specific to Oxford Street: Offer a wider range of attractions beyond traditional shopping 2 Make Oxford Street spectacular 3 Embrace Oxford Street s role as an important transport corridor for the West End 2 THE FUTURE OF THE OXFORD STREET DISTRICT

PLACE STRATEGY AND DELIVERY PLAN - AT A GLANCE What we are proposing to do Oxford Street will maintain two-way vehicle movement and will prioritise pedestrians, by reducing the width of the road and increasing pavements More space for pedestrians throughout the whole district Major improvements at key locations, including a new public piazza style space at Oxford Circus and a reinvigorated gateway to the West End at Marble Arch Manage traffic in a flexible way to respond to conditions, e.g. parts of the street could have restrictions at different times Work towards a future where all commercial vehicles that are not zero emission are banned and introduce a 20mph limit across the district Retain buses on Oxford Street 24 hours a day and ensure they are zero emission Encourage cycling and develop proposals for new cycling routes across the district The draft strategy sets out a series of ambitious, exciting but also deliverable recommendations to significantly improve the district as a whole, with 96 projects across 87 different streets and spaces. We ve also identified nine zones that reflect varying character from Marble Arch to Tottenham Court Road. The strategy was developed from previous consultation responses, proposed plans and a process of engagement in order to identify and understand concerns and ideas. All of the proposals are our ideas as to what could be done to improve the area. Subject to the feedback we receive in the consultation, the council will then carry out the detailed technical work that would be needed to turn them into reality. What we want you to do Let us know your thoughts on our proposals www.osd.london Celebrate and revitalise the historic garden squares in the district, such as Cavendish Square Have more trees, planting and pop up parks Provide special lighting and promote world class architecture throughout the district Encourage a year round programme of amazing cultural events and activities Change our planning policies, through the City Plan refresh (subject to a separate consultation), to give greater flexibility to encourage different and diverse uses such as leisure, offices, hotels and restaurants, without affecting resident amenity THE FUTURE OF THE OXFORD STREET DISTRICT 3

Foreword As proud custodians of the Oxford Street District, we are hugely ambitious to ensure its future success. There is an incredible richness and heritage to the district that gives it its unique character. It is a place that is defined by historic neighbourhoods that each have their own clearly defined attributes. This is what sets the area apart from all national and international rivals. Its connectivity to the commercial, cultural and unrivalled leisure offer of the wider West End provides endless opportunities that simply cannot be matched elsewhere. That is what we have sought to build upon with this comprehensive Place Strategy and Delivery Plan for the whole of the Oxford Street District. In developing this work, we have listened carefully to those who know best those who live, work, visit and do business in the area. This has helped to shape our deep understanding of what makes the place so special and what we should seek to augment. The strategy was developed from previous consultation responses, proposed plans and a process of engagement in order to identify and understand concerns and ideas. We are all well aware of the challenges the district faces and we want to bring all the available public and private resources to bear, to tackle them head on and future proof the district s ongoing success which is vital for Westminster and London. This strategy will enable Oxford Street District to flourish for the future. We now want everyone with an interest in securing Oxford Street s success to share their views through the formal consultation and you can find out how to have your voice heard in this booklet. By getting involved, together, we can secure an amazing future for the nation s high street and surrounding district. Cllr Richard Beddoe Cabinet Member for Place Shaping and Planning Westminster City Council 4 THE FUTURE OF THE OXFORD STREET DISTRICT

key proposals The draft Place Strategy and Delivery Plan responds to the challenges outlined on page 2 with the following proposals to improve the district: Challenge: not enough space for pedestrians and poor road safety Our strategy proposes giving pedestrians priority and addressing safety issues, whilst also balancing the needs of others using the district, without moving traffic to residential streets Our strategy proposes the following: Reduce the width of the road on Oxford Street, widen and declutter footways at key locations to maximise the available space for walking Harewood Place part time pedestrian zone Princes Street closure of the eastern end Oxford Street between John Prince s Street and Regent Street to create a new public piazza Oxford Street between Regent Street and Great Portland Street to create a new public piazza Indicative cross-section of road layout on Oxford Street Existing Provide areas to rest with seating and shade, upgrade paving and have a maintenance programme to ensure an accessible and comfortable walking environment Increase the amount of crossing time for pedestrians Introduce measures to calm traffic speed, including a 20mph zone across the district Proposed Make it easy to get around In very busy areas where the widening and decluttering of footways will not fully address safety problems, we will consider restriction or removal of traffic at appropriate times. Streets that are likely to be given pedestrian priority include: Binney Street closed to traffic at the northern end Gilbert Street closed to traffic at the northern end James Street pedestrian zone at the southern end Davies Street pedestrian zone at the northern end In addition, there are locations on Oxford Street being considered for a high level of pedestrian priority. This may include the reduction of traffic at critical times of the day. These include: Oxford Street between Duke Street and Orchard Street Bond Street Underground Station East of Great Portland Street to Winsley Street East of Soho Street to Tottenham Court Road THE FUTURE OF THE OXFORD STREET DISTRICT 5

KEY PROPOSALS Challenge: poor air quality Our strategy supports a greener and less polluted environment for the whole district. Our strategy proposes the following: Promote and press for ultra-low and zero emission technology, including buses, taxis and private hire transport Work towards a future where all commercial vehicles that are not zero emission are banned from Oxford Street Improve the district to encourage walking and cycling, and reduce the need for vehicle trips Work with local businesses, land owners, Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) and logistic companies to consolidate freight movement, servicing and deliveries Provide more street trees and small parks Challenge: poor quality public realm Our strategy will create beautiful and inspiring spaces and places across the district. Challenge: rapidly changing retail trends and focus on experiences Our strategy will create an amazing experience for residents, workers, visitors and businesses as well as improving the physical surroundings. Our strategy proposes the following: Have a safety and management plan, involving our partners, to include cleansing, waste and recycling services, street management (e.g. noise nuisance, begging, anti-social behaviour, littering), public safety and highways maintenance Develop policies to deal with issues (e.g. busking) and lobby for changes in the law, where required, such as tackling pedicabs Encourage different and diverse uses such as leisure, offices, hotels and restaurants, by changing our planning policies in the City Plan refresh to give greater flexibility Ensure that public open spaces and community facilities are accessible to and well used by children and young people and provide play space in areas where there isn t any Celebrate the various identities of the district, to showcase its heritage and distinctive character, by creating a comprehensive cultural strategy Our strategy proposes the following: Significantly improve the quality of the public spaces on Oxford Street to restore and enhance its character Improve the network of side streets and passageways off Oxford Street to make them more attractive Use high quality materials for our pavements and street furniture Look at the forecourts of buildings on Oxford Street as an opportunity for special paving, such as entrances to department stores Hold an international design competition to develop new lighting 6 THE FUTURE OF THE OXFORD STREET DISTRICT

KEY PROPOSALS Challenge: it can be difficult to get to and move around the district Our strategy will create a district that is accessible and seeks to balance the needs of different users. Our strategy proposes the following: Buses Buses are an iconic London image and play an important role in getting people to and around the Oxford Street District and the West End. They also allow passengers to make connections between buses, underground, rail and other forms of transport. However, they take up significant space on the street, can be polluting and contribute to traffic congestion and noise pollution. On Oxford Street, they can also pose a safety risk, due to the high numbers of pedestrians. Our aspiration for future bus network Aspiration for future bus network Oxford Street These issues have been carefully considered and a set of aspirations proposed: Keep buses operating east-west along Oxford Street, including night buses, but at a significantly reduced volume. A maximum of four services would operate on Oxford Street, with possible options to further reduce this number to be considered Divert two of the bus routes onto Great Castle Street and Margaret Street in order to create a new public piazza at Oxford Circus Speed up the rollout of zero emission buses on Oxford Street and work with Transport for London to set an ambitious target date to achieve this Introduce a 20mph or less speed limit for buses operating on Oxford Street to reduce the risk and severity of accidents Look at ways to minimise empty or under-utilised bus journeys and reduce the impact of buses waiting within the district Vehicle access Oxford Street will continue to provide a route for two-way traffic and will not be pedestrianised. However, we will consider special measures in certain areas where we need to reduce traffic to address issues of safety and pedestrian crowding. This may include restrictions, banning specific turning movements and measures to achieve an overall reduction in traffic. For example: Street with buses Street with reduced buses Street with significantly reduced buses Street with buses Street with reduced buses Street with significantly reduced buses Regent Street Consider relaxing the current restrictions and allow goods vehicles to access Oxford Street to the west of Regent Street, during the morning at some locations Investigate specific options to limit vehicle access at Oxford Circus between John Prince s Street and Great Portland Street (except Regent Street) Consider other locations where a reduction in traffic would improve air quality and provide the opportunity to create oasis spaces for people, without moving significant traffic to adjacent residential streets THE FUTURE OF THE OXFORD STREET DISTRICT 7

KEY PROPOSALS In addition, the strategy proposes: Cycling Coaches Minimising vehicle journeys across the district by encouraging walking and cycling and simplifying the one-way systems Designing traffic junctions to reduce vehicle congestion and queueing Developing a plan to manage traffic throughout the implementation of the Oxford Street District Delivery Plan Protecting neighbourhoods from vehicles that could be displaced by any improvement work Retain access for cyclists on Oxford Street Improve conditions for cyclists including advanced cycle stop lines, safer lane widths, reduced traffic speeds and reduced traffic volumes Improved and maintained roads, contraflow cycling on one-way streets and increased levels of cycle parking Develop proposals for new cycling routes across the district with two new east west cycle routes, to the north and south of Oxford Street as well as providing a number of key north-south connections Consider coach drop off and pick up requirements and develop proposals that minimise the impact they can cause London taxis (not including private hire vehicles) Ensure that proposed taxi rank locations are close to key locations and are easy to find Maintain taxi access to key locations such as department stores and other attractions Consider options for flexible design which may allow taxi ranks to be used for loading activity or as footway at times when taxi use is less Access for all Retaining accessible bus services on Oxford Street with easily accessed and convenient taxi ranks Providing more rest and quiet spaces for people with different needs and requirements Review blue badge parking to ensure suitable locations are provided close to Oxford Street and throughout the district Developing detailed designs in consultation with accessibility groups For the complete Oxford Street District proposals, please see the full Place Strategy and Delivery Plan at www.osd.london Consider flexible use and enforcement of kerbside restrictions to use available space, efficiently when coaches are not present, but accommodate the necessary coach stopping when required Work with the Mayor of London and Transport for London to develop a city-wide Coach Strategy, ensuring that routes, services, stops and hubs are located in the most appropriate locations Restrict and enforce coach waiting in sensitive locations to suitable periods of time for the pick up and drop off of passengers 8 THE FUTURE OF THE OXFORD STREET DISTRICT

delivery plan To achieve the vision set out in the strategy, we have identified 96 projects across 87 different streets in nine zones, which will each contribute to the improvement of the whole district. A Marble Arch, a historic asset for the district, is the gateway to Oxford Street, Hyde Park, and the west, playing a critical role in movement through the centre of London B A number of flagship stores are located here, as well as hotels, connecting with neighbouring residential areas A B C D E F G H I C Home to the world famous Selfridges department store, Oxford Street connects Baker Street and the Mayfair streets of Duke Street, Orchard Street and North Audley Street D Connects south Marylebone with the heart of Mayfair, Bond Street and the new Elizabeth Line, it is characterised by a network of historic streets E The Cavendish Square to Hanover Square connection providing links to green spaces and the new Elizabeth Line F Oxford Circus, the set piece adjoining Oxford Street and Regent Street is an iconic destination and unique arrival point for many visitors to the district The nine zones reflect the diverse historical heritage and varied range of uses. G Characterised by the concentration of flagship stores it also provides connections through its side streets to East Marylebone into the north and Soho in the south H This zone plays a key role in connecting Soho and Fitzrovia, and facilitating movement across the district and beyond with its new connections to the Elizabeth Line, with a diverse range of smaller shops and cafés I This is a primary gateway to Oxford Street and arrival point from the new Elizabeth Line, linking the district with Tottenham Court Road and Bloomsbury, New Oxford Street, Holborn, St Giles, Seven Dials, Covent Garden and Charing Cross Road THE FUTURE OF THE OXFORD STREET DISTRICT 9

example projects Westminster City Council plans to bring forward a range of projects, which should make the district more attractive, enjoyable and accessible. We have included three examples in this summary, to illustrate improvements that we are proposing for different areas. There are 0 in total and full details are available on pages 77 7 of the draft Place Strategy and Delivery Plan. Across both islands Consider options for pedestrian crossings between the islands Look at where we put public art Look at options to reconfigure the road layout around the islands MARBLE ARCH ZONE A The Marble Arch gateway is a Grade II listed monument which forms a key arrival point to the western end of Oxford Street (3). The draft Place Strategy proposes improvements to the two islands that will create a world-class public space and gateway for the West End. Key proposals include: Marble Arch island () Improve crossings to and from the island, and introduce clear walking and cycling routes 5 4 Highlight key entrances and links Redesign the events space to encourage more events 3 Major public realm investment with space for food and drink stalls Remove street clutter and improve street furniture including more cycle parking 2 Western island (2) Create a landmark playground Reconfigure the fountains Improve lighting to make it safer at night 6 Marble Arch 2 Western Island 3 Oxford Street 4 Cumberland Gate 5 Edgware Road 6 Park Lane 0 THE FUTURE OF THE OXFORD STREET DISTRICT

EXAMPLE PROJECTS CAVENDISH SQUARE ZONE E North of Oxford Street, Cavendish Square provides lots of fantastic open space. A new design will provide better connections and emphasise this unique space. 3 Key proposals include: Cavendish Square Gardens () Create a landmark playground or other public space to create an attractive place for families as well as a new shopping/cultural hub Create a new entrance in the middle of the south side with improved landscaping to enhance views and reintroduce the original entrances in the middle of the east and west sides Redesign the gardens with new tree planting, soft landscaping, pathways and low level lighting; remove existing brick walls where possible to open up views into and across the space Support the introduction of appropriate events, in consultation with residents, which will bring new life to the district 2 Cavendish Square streets Increase footway along the east and west sides of the square, with a design that reflects the heritage of the square Introduce a raised crossing at the top of Holles Street (4) providing connection to the new entrance on the south side of the square 5 6 4 Cavendish Square 2 Royal College of Nursing 3 Madonna and Child, Jacob Epstein 4 Holles Street 5 John Lewis 6 Former BHS site THE FUTURE OF THE OXFORD STREET DISTRICT

EXAMPLE PROJECTS OXFORD CIRCUS ZONE F Oxford Circus is an iconic destination, an important transport interchange and a gateway to the West End. Transformation of Oxford Circus would represent major improvement in perhaps the most significant part of the shopping street. Key proposals include: Oxford Circus () Create a new public piazza each side of Oxford Circus by removing east west traffic between John Prince s Street and Great Portland Street Two bus routes are proposed to be diverted via Great Castle or Margaret Street before re-joining Oxford Street, which will mean traffic is not moved to adjacent residential streets Maintain north south traffic down Regent Street at Oxford Circus 2 4 Allocate more space to prioritise pedestrians Improve pedestrian connections through lighting, art, special paving and signage Include pedestrian safety features as part of a coordinated design Argyll Street (3) Redesign and declutter the street to improve pedestrian safety 3 Introduce new paving, seating, planting, lighting and signage, and consider sites for public art Great Portland Street (4) Introduce new pavement, additional tree planting, lighting and public art to define the character of the street John Prince s Street (2) Improve the public spaces whilst allowing for delivery of goods and services Improve pedestrian areas, paving, seating, planting and lighting, to encourage use of the street Oxford Circus 2 John Prince s Street 3 Argyll Street 4 Great Portland Street 2 THE FUTURE OF THE OXFORD STREET DISTRICT
