Beckhill Neighbourhood Framework

19/09/2014 - Beckhill Neighbourhood Framework

Further to Minute No. 8, 25th June 2014, the Director of City Development submitted a report providing an overview of the work undertaken to prepare a Neighbourhood Framework for the Beckhills area. The submitted report presented the proposed final version of the document for the purposes of approval, whilst agreement was sought on the phased approach to the delivery of improvements across the locality.

 

In response to a Member’s enquiry, officers undertook to provide the Member in question with further information on how the Framework would inform the views of Plans Panel when determining planning matters in the area.

 

The Board discussed the ways in which an expression of interest for the possible establishment of a Neighbourhood Framework could be made. In addition, Members also discussed the funding sources which had been used in respect of the Beckhills Neighbourhood Framework. In conclusion, 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 the Beckhill Neighbourhood Framework be approved as informal planning guidance to support the area’s regeneration;

(c)  That support be given on the approach to prioritisation, phasing and funding the delivery improvements to the Beckhill area, as set out in paragraphs 3.9 – 3.12 of the submitted report, which is to be led by the Chief Asset Management and Regeneration Officer.
