The Core Strategy |
Southwark are currently consulting on the final version of the core strategy. Formal consultation began on 22nd January 2010 and will end on 5th March 2010 at 5pm. During this period anyone who has an interest in Southwark can comment on the soundness of the core strategy. To be classed as “sound” the document should be developed on strong and reliable evidence base and be the most appropriate strategy when considered against the reasonable alternatives. The document must also be deliverable, flexible and able to be monitored. Copies of the document and supporting documents are available to view in all Southwark libraries and One Stop Shops. The background and evidence studies are also available at the Walworth Road One Stop Shop. A list of where to view the documents can be found using the link below: http://www.southwark.gov.uk/Uploads/FILE_45270.pdf If you have access to the internet the documents are also available on Southwark's website at: www.southwark.gov.uk/corestrategy If you would like any further information on the above or would like independent free advice in submitting your comments please contact Nadia at the Willowbrook Centre on 020 7732 8856 or email: nadia@willowbrookcentre.org.uk |
HAVE YOUR SAY ON THE CANADA WATER AREA ACTION PLAN Southwark council are consulting on the Canada Water Area Action Plan (AAP). The AAP is a document that will ensure real change within the Canada Water area over the next 15 years. It aims to create a genuine town centre which is distinctive and reflects the area's heritage, an area which is renowned for its great open spaces and leisure facilities and a place with great schools and homes which are attractive to families. The plan area is focussed on the area where change will be the greatest. This core area includes the Surrey Quays shopping centre, Albion |

| Street and the Hawkstone estate. To ensure that the impacts of development in the core area are addressed, the wider AAP area also includes Russia Dock Woodland, Greenland Dock, South Dock Marina and St Mary's Church and the surrounding conservation area. When it is finally adopted by the council, it will be part of our Local Development Framework (LDF) and will be used to make planning decisions in the area as well as guide investment. |
