Canada Water Area Action Plan (CWAAP)
A lot of discussion has taken place over recent years about how Canada Water can be developed to better serve its residents and businesses.
Whatever is decided, the transformation of Canada Water will be a complex programme of major change that will require careful planning and management throughout.
Planning for success
The Area Action Plan (AAP) for Canada Water provides a highly effective planning management tool. Basically the AAP is a 'blueprint' detailing how the vision can be brought to life, and there are several key stages to its development.
The first of these is the issues and options stage. This is where the main considerations (issues) and choices (options) are identified and publicly discussed. To download or view the issues and options report, please click on the appropriate link in the 'Useful Documents' section below.
The issues and options stage concluded last February following extensive public consultation, and led to the identification of the preferred options.
The preferred options will be detailed in a report to be published in July. The report will also be subject to full public consultation, with the aim of producing a draft AAP.
The draft AAP will then be submitted to the Secretary of State for examination-in-public, leading to the production of the finished AAP which, we envisage, will be ready for implementation by the autumn of 2010.
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.
Get involved
Public involvement at each stage in the development of the Canada Water AAP will help ensure the plan truly reflects the needs of the community it has been specifically designed to serve.
There will continue to be many opportunities throughout the AAP planning process for local residents, community groups and businesses to help shape the final action plan.
