1 Background and Introduction Since its restoration and re-opening as a specialist shopping centre over 0 years ago, Covent Garden Market has remained successful and highly visited. It is one of the chief tourist attractions in London. It remains the best example in England of the contribution which renovated historic buildings can make to an area. At the same time by the 990s this success produced pressures on the buildings and their immediate environment which began to show some signs of leading to a decline in quality, A detailed study of the Central Market, the Piazza and the streets leading into it was therefore commissioned in 994, by The Covent Garden Area Trust, to produce a set of coherent guidelines and recommendations relating to the façades of the buildings and the spaces around and between them. The Trust was established in 988 and given specific powers and duties relating to the principal historic buildings which had formerly belonged to the Greater London Council (GLC), including the Central Market. It is a charitable body designed to protect and enhance the character of the area. The brief asked for appropriate conservation of façades, street improvements, management of open spaces, sitting out areas, signage etc. In particular we are concerned to achieve a set of design guidelines to include furniture, signage, shop fronts, planters and street furniture Covent Garden Piazza looking north, showing the origins of the informal market. Engraving by Sutton Nicholls. This revised edition has been produced in accordance with the City of Westminster s desire to see periodic reviews and monitoring of changes in the area. It has been produced with co-operation and financial support from English Heritage, Covent Garden Market Limited Partnership (CGMLP), freehold owners of the Central Market and the City of Westminster. It follows audits of the area in 000 and 00 and updates the original document s recommendations and ideas to reflect major changes, such as the completion of the Royal Opera House redevelopment and implementation of many of the elements of the original Study A major problem for the success of the area is congestion due to high levels of visitor numbers, as seen in James Street. This guide has been produced under the supervision of the Trust s Environment Committee which includes representatives of the Trust, CGMML, English Heritage and Westminster City Council. The audits revisited each of the 540 proposals put forward in the original 994 Study to identify those recommended actions that have been implemented and those that remain outstanding. New issues that have emerged in the intervening years and have an impact on the Central Covent Garden Area, have also been highlighted and further Covent Garden Area Trust ;

Tables and chairs areas beyond the arcade of Bedford Chambers on the north side of the Piazza were refused planning consent and their removal has improved views and movement around the area. When busy, people will sit anywhere, including on steps and kerbs to enjoy the street entertainment. actions by the CGAT recommended where necessary. The audits concluded that although well over half of the recommended actions in the original document have been implemented and CGMLP is currently investing in a major maintenance and enhancement programme for the central market buildings which should bring further improvements, failures and lack of action in many important areas still need to be tackled. The architectural quality of most of the buildings in the study area is high or very high, and they are mostly well maintained and cared for. At the same time there are still many things that need to be done to strip away unsuitable accretions and show the area to its best advantage. It is recognised that at times aesthetic and commercial priorities are in conflict. Consequently the recommendations in this document aim to strike a balance that will ensure the conservation and enhancement of the physical environment, at the same time as allowing the many traders, operators and users of Covent Garden to flourish, respond to market changes and continue to contribute to the unique atmosphere. The positive and friendly encouragement offered from all sides throughout the project has made a major contribution to its success. The continuing positive support and co-operation of the agencies which funded the study, for instance, together with other statutory agencies and landowners, are central if this document is to be successful in its aims. Their partnership approach as demonstrated by the commissioning of this project provides the best way of managing important historic areas such as Covent Garden. Their continuing willingness to seek and implement solutions to sometimes contentious issues, has been - and will continue to be - of paramount importance. Local involvement has also been of key importance. A similar format for public consultation was followed in undertaking the original study and this revision. A number of meetings were held with key stakeholders such as the Covent Garden Business Forum and there was also a series of public events. A questionnaire was distributed in and around the area and publicised in the local magazine. The consultation was also promoted on the CGAT website. In general the key issues that were raised in 00 were very similar to those that emerged in over-crowding, inadequate public toilet provision, litter and cleansing. A majority would like to see more traffic free areas, historical information, litter bins, benches and greenery, but were against more clutter. Continuing concerns since 995 include the type of shops and chain stores, commercial events in the square, rubbish collections, antisocial behaviour, illegal traders and entertainers and the need for more police.
3 Summary of Proposals Organisations Responsible The proposals set out in this document will require further consideration and the co-operation of many organisations. In places abbreviated reference to the principal organisations is made. CGAT WCC CGMLP ROH EH Covent Garden Area Trust Westminster City Council/Contractors and Consultants Covent Garden Market Limited Partnership Royal Opera House English Heritage The Covent Garden Area Trust wishes to ensure that this study and its recommendations are given the highest possible formal status. It is also proposed that there should be continuing formal reviews of progress made with implementing the recommendations, carried out by a committee (with representatives of relevant organisations) similar to the one which steered this study. The first edition of this document included a detailed survey of the condition of the study area and coherent recommendations for use by property owners, occupiers and their professional advisors and contractors including shopfitters. The scope includes: Background information and outline history of the area Building façades improvements Street improvements Management of the Central Market, Piazza and open spaces Aspects of Universal Accessibility and the provisions of the Disability Discrimination Act 995 (DDA) This version updates these surveys and the status of recommendations and gives more detailed revised information on the issues of outdoor tables and chairs areas and the management and improvement of the Piazza and Central Market. The summary on the following pages sets out the current recommendations. Policies (P P), Recommendations (R R9) and Design Ideas (D D8) are recommendations from the original study that remain to be implemented. Pa, Ra, Da etc are new approaches or modifications to the original recommendations. The major change since the original study is the completion of the Royal Opera House development and the restoration of colonnades to the north and east of the Piazza. The completion of the GLC 98 restoration of the Central Market created uncluttered civic spaces. Map from Westminster City Council Covent Garden Action Plan. Piazza and surrounding streets.
