Canada Water Area Action Plan (AAP) 
We are preparing an Area Action Plan (AAP) for Canada Water and the surrounding area which will set out a vision for the future of Canada Water and provide the planning policies that will help to achieve this vision.
Some of the issues the AAP will consider include the creation of a town centre, the unique natural environment and the transport impacts of new development. The AAP will expand on guidance set out in the Canada Water Masterplan.
Why we need an Area Action Plan for Canada Water
Once adopted, the AAP will become part of the Local Development Framework for Southwark and will replace the Southwark Plan (UDP) policies which currently set out the planning guidance for the Canada Water area. The policies in the AAP will then be used to make decisions on planning applications in Canada Water.
Issues and Options report
We have prepared a paper which explains the issues that we need to address in Canada Water and the vision for how Canada Water will be in 2020. The issues and options paper also explains the different options we have for achieving this vision.
You can download the draft issues and options paper and supporting documents below.
To view these documents you will need Adobe Reader.
The draft issues and options paper will be presented to Planning Committee on October 15 2008 for their comments. Following their comments we will make some changes to the draft paper which will then be taken to the Council Executive meeting on 20th October 2008 for approval.
The final version of the issues and options report will then be available for consultation. This is a six week period during which you can make comments on the issues and options paper. This is expected to be from November 21 2008 to January 2 2009.
Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Report
A sustainability appraisal scoping report has been prepared for the AAP. The scoping report sets out the main economic, environmental and social issues affecting the area. It provides part of the evidence base for the AAP. Consultation on the sustainability appraisal scoping report started on March 14 2008 and ended on April 25 2008.
