Policy 13 Renewal Areas

The Council will seek to maximise opportunities for enhancement and improvement within the Renewal Areas. Proposals should provide demonstrable economic, social and environmental benefits and address identified issues and opportunities. For example, proposals will be expected to maximise opportunities to:

  • deliver high quality environments, which complement and enhance existing development and ’assets’, including built heritage and other environmental assets,
  • support health and wellbeing by producing healthy environments through scheme designs and expanding access to recreation, leisure and by, optimising opportunities to increase the provision or enhance the quality of open spaces and recreational facilities,
  • create inclusive communities, engaging and involving the local community in the development of proposals and acknowledging and, where appropriate, responding to locally developed plans,
  • encourage an appropriate mix of housing tenures, particularly within the Mayor’s defined “Areas of Regeneration”, that will promote mixed and balanced communities,
  • make a positive contribution to the vitality of local centres having regard for their importance as providers both of local facilities and local employment,
  • acknowledge relevant initiatives and plans in adjacent boroughs and cooperate with them to plan strategically across administrative boundaries and to maximise the benefits of proposals with cross borough impacts,
  • improve accessibility, developing transport connectivity across transport modes

Weight will be attached to proposals which deliver improvements to address the particular issues relating to the Mayor’s “Areas for Regeneration” within the Borough.
