Update from Knowle West – 21 April 2012 Len Wyatt Northern Slopes Initiative www.northern-slopes-initiative.co.uk
The story so far • Everything kicks off in late 2008/early 2009 – Kingswear/Torpoint/Marksbury Road Development Opportunity – and the Regeneration Framework • Series of consultations in 2010 – 2011 • Kingswear being run separate from Framework. • 2011-12 – Kingswear, Filwood Park and Filwood Broadway move forward • 23 March 2012 to 18 May 2012 – consultation underway now. www.bristol.gov.uk/kwrf
Who is involved at the moment • Bristol City Council • Homes and Communities Agency • Knightstone Housing Association – Kingswear • Barratts Homes – Western Slopes (private land) • Knowle West Residents Planning Group – CiP, NSI, MACA, ICRA, Novers Hill Residents
Whats on the table? • In the past KWRF area – and lesser extent Kingswear/Torpoint – detail has been lacking – “grey hole” within the City Wide Context • Community Objectives set out in 2009 • This time: • Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Document • Option for overall framework – based on Community Option 2 – which was most supported of options in 2010. • Basic AGSP – only for certain areas – detailed limited
Already on the table… • Filwood Park – BCC and HCA – Outline planning permission already granted – following Town Green rejected • Filwood Broadway – Planning Brief agreed by Council – developer for site to be found • Kingswear/Torpoint/Marksbury Road College/Haldon Close – Tender process for developer underway
What are we doing? • Getting through the paperwork…. • Making sure Kingswear green space isn’t “unloved” • Alerting people to the consultation, exhibition and the information - consulting members and talking to people. • As NSI working to reply by 18th May possibly: • Welcoming some parts – Important Open Space, SNCI • Asking questions – funding from selling off land – links to/from National Planning Policy Framework • Correcting some information – trying to clarify others • Opposing others – Kingswear – Western Slopes – Green Edge
