SOME BACKGROUND: 

Southwark Planning Committee granted Draft Consent to the following amended planning application from Angel Property on July 22nd 2008:

- Residents' garden on site of Block E, with Community access during daylight hours to Block E footprint zone only. Design is to follow JFRA Planning Consent from 2004, and will include a new childrens' play area for the under-5s and a new, enlarged refuse / re-cycling store accessible to Council vehicles from Rothsay Street.

- 18 Affordable housing units in Block D.

- Angel WITHDREW their Appeal. The right of appeal cannot be invoked twice by Angel. 

Angel Property will also need to ensure the chimney is repaired and cleaned, and that the un-finished landscape works across the remainder of the site are completed.

The current situation (19.01.08) is that Angel had failed to sign the Section 106 Agreement within a reasonable time after the planning committee's decision in July 2008. Southwark have issued an enforcement notice in respect of Block D effective from 28.02.09 unless the S106 agreement is concluded. (See home page for more details).

We continue to be in touch with the Planners at Southwark for more information and will update residents when we have any further substantive news to report.

The latest detailed construction plans for the garden are attached on the homepage - this work will not commence until the S106 agreement or any prospective enforcement action is concluded.

We continue to work hard for all Residents and press for the best possible garden and landscaping - however please note that until the Section 106 agreement is signed, we do not expect any works to commence on-site.
