Approval of the Beckhill Neighbourhood Framework for consultation

The Director of City Development submitted a report providing an overview of the work undertaken to prepare a Neighbourhood Framework for Beckhillls and which set out the proposals included within the document. The report also sought approval of the Neighbourhood Framework for the purposes of consultation and identified the possible delivery and funding approach to ensure that the neighbourhood improvements identified within the document could be achieved.

Responding to a Member’s enquiry into the ways in which a Neighbourhood Framework could be established, it was noted that a default criteria had not been established, but that a tailored approach was taken to best fit the needs and strengths of specific communities. However, invitations were extended to any neighbourhoods that wished to submit an expression of interest in establishing a Neighbourhood Framework in the future.

RESOLVED –

(a)  That the contents of the submitted report be noted;

(b)  That approval be given for the Chief Asset Management and Regeneration Officer to undertake public consultation on the draft Beckhill Neighbourhood Framework in July 2014;

(c)  That a further report be presented to Executive Board by October 2014 which details any proposed changes to the Framework and which also seeks approval of the final document.

Consultation took place during the preparation of the Neighbourhood Framework.  More detailed consultation will be required with local residents as the various improvements identified are worked up in detail.
