  • London Borough of Croydon/Matter 51
    London borough of Croydon/Matter 51 Matter 51: Delivering Social Infrastructure 1. This matter statement on delivering social infrastructure should be read in the context of the overall response by the London Borough of Croydon (ref 5622), in which the Council said that there is much to be welcomed and supported in the Draft London Plan. The Mayor’s Good Growth vision echoes Croydon Council’s own vision set out in the recently adopted Croydon Local Plan (February) 2018 (CLP18). The Council continues to work with the Mayor to enable and deliver his, and our own, vision for growth in the borough. All arguments and concerns regarding the Draft London Plan’s policies hinge from the Council’s original representation. 2. It should be noted that the Council are mainly commenting on the Draft London Plan as it relates to the specific delivery of housing and infrastructure, particularly in Croydon, outer London and the suburbs. Question; Delivering Social Infrastructure M51. Would Policy S1 provide an effective and justified approach to the development of London’s social infrastructure? In particular would it be effective in meeting the objectives of policies GG1 and GG3 in creating a healthy city and building strong and inclusive communities? In particular: a) Would Policy S1, in requiring a needs assessment of social infrastructure and encouraging cross borough collaboration provide an effective and justified strategic framework for the preparation of local plans and neighbourhood plans in relation to the development of social infrastructure?

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions. The All London Green Grid SPG was developed in parallel with the area frameworks it can be found at the following link: http://www.london.gov.uk/publication/all-london- green-grid-spg .

  • Adur District Council
    Overview and Scrutiny Committee 14th January 2010 Agenda Item: Ward: All Key Changes to the Emerging Core Strategy Report by the Executive Head of Planning Regeneration and Wellbeing 1.0 Summary 1.1 The Core Strategy is the key element of the Local Development Framework as it will guide future development in the borough until 2026. The final stages of the preparation of the Core Strategy are being reached prior to it being submitted to the Secretary of State for formal examination. This report advises Members of the key changes that will be been made to the document, and the reasons for them, since the Revised Core Strategy document was published for consultation in June 2009. The report then sets out the next steps toward submission, examination and adoption. 2.0 Background 2.1 When adopted, the Core Strategy will set the overall vision and planning policy framework for the town to 2026. It will set out what we want to achieve in different areas of the borough and how we will go about doing it. It will also provide the context for all subsequent Local Development Documents and their policies. When preparing this pivotal planning document the Council must maintain consistency with national and regional planning guidance and take into account the views of the community and stakeholders. 2.2 A significant amount of work to progress the Core Strategy has already been undertaken. In October 2007 the Council did prepare a Submission version of the Core Strategy. At that time, it was then expected that a public examination of the document would take place in early 2008.

  • Appendix 1 Draft Greenspace Capital Investment Strategy , Item 14
    Environment Committee: 08 November 2016 Implementation of the Parks and Open Spaces Strategy Appendix 1: Draft Greenspaces Capital Investment Programme The proposed Greenspaces Capital Investment Programme amounts to £105m over a 5-10 year period (transformational schemes will have longer timescales due to funding, e.g. Brent Cross and Heritage Parks projects), detailed throughout this document. This is proposed to be delivered through a split of 56% developer funding, 22% grant funding and 22% LBB Capital Funding (mainly borrowing), and meaning that 78% of the total cost of the programme is to be funded through external sources of funding. The table shows the proposed approach to investment in open spaces to maximise the strategic benefit and funding opportunity from Council investment through both the development reserve and other capital funding (mostly borrowing, but some specific capital receipts). In most cases borrowing proposals have been linked to assets such as pavilions or roads/footpaths, but in a few places the shift towards ‘Natural Capital Accounting’ adopted through the Open Spaces Strategy may need to be utilised to support proposed borrowing.
