Planning permission will be granted for development that supports the implementation of 'Low Line' walking routes in Southwark, while development hindering the routes will not be supported. The Low Line seeks to link centers of activity and enterprise by creating attractive routes alongside rail arches and viaducts, facilitating economic growth and improving access. Indicative Low Line routes include Waterloo to Maltby Street to Rotherhithe New Road, Camberwell to the River Thames, and Rye Lane to Old Kent Road including the Peckham Coal Line. Further work will assess route feasibility, which may utilize arch sides and new passages.

walking routes
Planning permission will be granted for development that
supports the implementation of ‘Low Line’ walking routes.
Development that hinders the implementation or obstruction
of the routes will not be supported
Reasons
Southwark’s ‘Low Line’ walking routes that seek to link existing
centres of activity and enterprise by creating new attractive
routes alongside rail arches and viaducts. The Low Line routes
will facilitate economic growth and improve access and
permeability along the rail viaducts.
The indicative Low Line routes are in the following locations:
• Waterloo to Maltby Street to Rotherhithe New Road
• Camberwell to River Thames
• Rye Lane - Old Kent Road, including the Peckham Coal Line
We are undertaking further work to assess the feasibility of
these routes. It is likely that new Low Line routes could utilise
either or both sides of the railway arches, as well as new
routes through arches.
