Issue - meetings

The Cabinet Member for Regeneration introduced a report on the proposed guidance to be issued to potential developers, in the form of a Planning Guidance Note (PGN), in respect of the former Thames View Health Centre site. 

The Cabinet Member advised that the site was owned by the NHS and the Council held an interest in a small part.  The intention was for the site to be marketed for predominantly residential use, with potential for community and/or commercial space at ground floor level.  In response to a question, the Cabinet Member confirmed that the PGN would require an archaeological assessment and habitat survey to be carried out prior to the commencement of any development and he agreed to provide Councillor Carpenter with further details.

Cabinet resolved to adopt the Planning Guidance Note in respect of land at the former Thames View Health Centre, Bastable Avenue, Barking, as set out at Appendix 1 to the report.
