Decision details

Naming of the new access way within the former site of Ashley House, 2 Monck Street, London SW1P 2BQ

Decision Maker: Cabinet Member for Built Environment

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

1.       That the naming of the new access way on the former site of Ashley House, 2 Monck Street as “Elizabeth Court” be approved.

 

 

1.       The PDA Section of London Fire has objected to the use of the name Elizabeth Court on two grounds. Their first ground of objection is that the redevelopment and extension should now conform with the Street Naming guidelines in that the access way is now to become a walkway and should have an appropriate suffix such as ‘Walk’. Secondly, they object to the prefix ‘Elizabeth’ as it is duplicated in other streets/roads within the surrounding area.

 

2.       A further request was made to the PDA Section at London Fire to seek a possible reconsideration and withdrawal of their objections. However, they are not prepared to withdraw their objections to the proposed name but state that they are only acting in an advisory capacity to the Council, and whilst their objections still stand, it is the Council who are the street naming authority and it is therefore the Council who is the final arbiter and decision maker.
