The Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Economic Development presented an update report on the development of the draft Chadwell Heath Transformation Area Masterplan Supplementary Planning Document (SPD).

By Minute 25 (22 September 2020), the Cabinet had approved the submission of the Borough-wide draft Local Plan 2037 to the Secretary of State for independent examination.  The Local Plan outlined how the Borough’s ambitious housing and employment targets would be met over the plan period and beyond, aided in part through the delivery of several transformation areas within the Borough including Chadwell Heath. The draft Chadwell Heath Transformation Area Masterplan SPD provided more detailed supplementary guidance to developers, the local community and other interested stakeholders on how the Council envisaged development in the area coming forward over the period of the new Local Plan and beyond. 

The Cabinet Member explained that the intention was for the SPD to go out to statutory public consultation prior to it being presented for adoption by the Assembly, alongside the Local Plan, in early 2024.

Cabinet resolved to:

(i)  Approve the Draft Chadwell Heath Transformation Area Masterplan Supplementary Planning Document, as set out at Appendix A to the report, for public consultation; and

(ii)  Delegate authority to the Strategic Director, Inclusive Growth, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Economic Development and the Be First Chief Planning Director, to make any appropriate amendments to the SPD following public consultation, prior to its submission to the Assembly for formal adoption.
