  • Creative Barking &Dagenham
    CREATIVE BARKING & DAGENHAM THE ARTS, BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT, IN BARKING & DAGENHAM Art and active citizenship, confidence and civic pride - as an Arts Advisor to the Cultural Connectors and Creative Barking and Dagenham team since 2013, it’s been rewarding to see how successfully the project’s vision to engage local people in commissioning and programming has been realised. The team’s imaginative, consistent and persistent approach to building successful collaborations with individuals and communities has resulted in an ambitious range of artistic projects, festivals and creative partnerships. These have delighted and surprised audiences and participants, generated new partnerships and shifted perceptions of the borough, both regionally and nationally. To effect this change in perception CBD sought to ensure that the policy and strategy was rooted in local people’s interests and aspirations, so that it would be owned and championed by them. Placing consultation and collaboration at the heart of the process of change, right from the outset, has given value and status to the work of this Creative People and Places initiative. In Barking and Dagenham, the CBD staff team, the advisors and the local authority have foregrounded working with situated knowledge and insights of people who live and work in the borough. Over 100 voluntary ‘Cultural Connectors’ have been recruited, local residents who are the project’s advocates and decision makers. The arts commissioning is decided by panels where at least 60% of the voting power is held by these residents. This is meaningful participation and engagement with real roles, risks and responsibilities. The Cultural Connectors have built a strong critical frame of reference over the years, visiting theatre, festivals and galleries to see work across London and the UK.

July 2018 1 Foreword by the Cabinet Member for Environment, Planning and Sustainability – to be added 1 Introduction 1.1 Setting the Scene 1.1.1 The Council's Local Plan will set out policies and guidance for the development of the borough over the next 15 years. It looks ahead to 2033 and identifies where the main developments will take place, and how places within the borough will change, or be protected from change, over that period. 1.1.2 The Council's Local Plan forms part of the development plan for the borough. It has to go through an Examination in Public by an independent Government inspector before it can be adopted by the Council. The London Plan, prepared by the Mayor of London, also forms part of the development plan, and the Council's Local Plan has to be in general conformity with it. 1.1.3 The role of the development plan is to guide decision making on planning applications and inform investment in social and physical infrastructure. When planning applications are received, they are assessed against the development plan to see whether planning permission should be granted or not. The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 requires that “in making any determination under the planning acts, regard is to be had to the development plan; the determination shall be made in accordance with the plan unless material consideration indicates otherwise”.

  • Barking Town Centre Strategy Realising Barking’S Full Potential Foreword
    2015/18 Barking Town Centre Strategy Realising Barking’s full potential Foreword Town centres everywhere continue to play a key role in people’s quality of life, providing economic opportunities, employment and places to meet, relax and enjoy. Barking will become East London’s new cultural hub, provide a wide choice of good value homes, great places to meet and relax with significant new opportunities for work. With superb accessibility, a growing diverse population and development potential Barking is extremely well placed to continue its transformation over the coming years. We will work with partners to co-ordinate and drive the changes required to ensuring Barking becomes a town centre more people actively choose to live, work, learn and spend time in. High streets and town centres across the country are facing new challenges and there is a strong recognition that Barking will have to carve its own identity with a broader mix of functions based on retail and culture, but offering so much more. Barking Riverside, a new 11,000 home community will be served by a direct rail link to Barking - this is a superb opportunity for Barking but only if it offers the facilities and quality of Councillor Cameron Geddes environment which will attract and retain people. This Strategy aims to ensure the Portfolio Holder for Regeneration quality of development achieved over recent years continues and that the town centre’s offer is broadened to meet the needs of existing and new residents. I will work tirelessly with the Barking Town Team and others to deliver the vision set out in this strategy.
