Borough Green Gardens

02/07/2021 - Borough Green Gardens

(Report of Director of Planning, Housing and Environmental Health)

 

The report provided an update on the garden communities work undertaken to support the delivery of development at Borough Green Gardens, a significant strategic allocation in the Council’s draft Local Plan.  The report informed Members about the creation of a Project Board to enable discussion with technical consultees and delivery partners involved in the Garden Communities project.  In addition it was reported that, in order to progress the draft Development Brief towards formal public consultation later in 2021, it was important to seek the views of the local community, including businesses, residents and community groups so that benefits for existing and future residents could be maximised.  

 

Following consideration by the Planning and Transportation Advisory Board, the Cabinet Member for Strategic Planning and Infrastructure resolved that:

 

(1)   the content of the report be noted; and

 

(2)   the project next steps and timetable be endorsed to allow community engagement activities to commence.
