Bexley First
Howbury Site Regeneration
The Howbury Regeneration Brief was adopted by the London
Borough of Bexley on 11 July 2008, following consideration of extensive public
consultation.
The Regeneration Brief aims to secure a viable and sustainable redevelopment
that will:
- meet the needs of the local community,
- set the benchmark for design quality, and
- help lead the regeneration of Slade Green.
The development will include open space (as there is a deficiency of open
space in this part of the Borough), a new branch Library, new community facilities,
a Police office and possibly shops. The Council is carrying out a separate
study to determine what community facilities should be provided as part of
the redevelopment of the Howbury site.
Development will only proceed after the Council has received and considered
a planning application and reviewed the results of public consultation. Complete
redevelopment of the site will not occur until after 2012 when Council staff
have moved into the new Bexleyheath civic offices. |
