EA1 Economic Development

The Royal Borough supports the expansion of existing businesses and increased employment opportunities. New, high quality jobs that meet the needs and skills of local people will be created by:

  • Concentrating retail, leisure, cultural and office development within the hierarchy of town centres. In particular the Royal Borough seeks to improve the quality and positioning of Woolwich Town Centre. (refer to policy TC2);
  • The development of a new employment and creative industries hub at North Greenwich
  • Designating a new leisure-led District Centre at North Greenwich encompassing the O2 Arena and surrounding area (refer to policy TC5);
  • Increasing employment opportunities in the new and emerging low carbon sectors and advanced manufacturing;
  • The development of new urban quarters at Charlton Riverside and Greenwich Peninsula West along with the planned intensification of existing employment land (refer to policies EA2 and EA3); and
  • Supporting the development of small and medium business space.
