OEP2 Strategy
Over a 10-15 year period, the creation of sustainable well-designed safe neighbourhoods with good quality new homes for Eastfields (Mitcham); High Path (South Wimbledon) and Ravensbury (Mitcham / Morden) will be achieved by ensuring that development proposals:
- Are in compliance with the Statutory Development Plan, of which the Estates Local Plan forms a part;
- Are consistent with a single linked regeneration programme for Eastfields, High Path and Ravensbury;
- For Eastfields and High Path, set out regeneration of the whole estate and partial regeneration of Ravensbury estate;
- Will be expected to include phasing plans indicating the proposed timing of major building phases.
- Provide affordable housing on a phase by phase basis, having regard to prevailing need, viability and national and local policy and guidance.
Planning obligations (also known as Section 106 agreements) and Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) will be used by the council to mitigate the impact of development and to ensure the delivery of key infrastructure.
