Biggest Regeneration Projects Get The Green Light

Two of Europe's biggest regeneration projects cleared the final hurdle last night at Southwark Council's full Assembly.

The £2.4 billion regeneration of the Aylesbury estate is completely endorsed, as members agreed the Area Action Plan (AAP).

The Canada Water AAP also reached a major milestone, with the Assembly agreeing to the publication of the AAP for submission to the Secretary of State in March.

Supported by 82% of the residents who attended the final exhibition of the plans for the area, the Aylesbury AAP is a blueprint for the new neighbourhood and aims to create a strong and vibrant community who will live in high quality homes and enjoy great streets, parks and open spaces, excellent public transport and a wide range of facilities.

Councillor Paul Noblet, Executive Member for regeneration said: "The Area Action Plans provide a broad vision for the rejuvenation of the Aylesbury and Canada Water, which are steering the developments already underway.

"The Aylesbury is a massive 15-20 year project, and the first phase is already under construction. It will revolutionise the way that Aylesbury residents live, work, learn and enjoy their lives.

Throughout the AAP process we have been helped so much by excellent relationships with the residents, who have been really clear about what they like and changes they want."
