Lamorbey Swimming Centre Planning Brief
Draft for Consultation
Bexley Council has published for consultation a draft Planning Brief to guide development of the former Lamorbey swimming pool site and the surrounding area.

The primary aim is to achieve a financially viable and sustainable mix of uses appropriate to this very prominent site in a town centre location. At the same, redevelopment must contribute to the vitality of the area and create a development of high quality design which will contribute positively to the character of the area. The Planning Brief is being developed as a Supplementary Planning Document which will form part of the Local Development Framework. Comments are invited by 14 March 2007.
