Demolition of the 39-63 Norwich Walk maisonette block is well under way and will be completed by Christmas. Preparations for the demolition of other vacant blocks is progressing well.

craylands_dev_2011-12-1 Why are we waiting for another Planning Permission?

Some residents have questioned why Swan recently submitted another planning application. The current application is for the detailed design of Phase 1 C-F. It replaces and improves on an older detailed planning application made for the whole of Phase 1. These improvements have been developed following consultation with residents and including ideas from other successful regeneration schemes.

The detailed planning application sets out Swan’s complete plans for the phase, these are a lot more detailed than the outline planning permission. The master plan, or outline planning as it is also referred to, is less detailed but covers a wider area and commits to general ideas and principles on the regeneration project.

There have been some delays to the Planning process, which unfortunately means that we do not expect a decision to be made until the New Year. We now anticipate receiving a planning committee datein mid-January. This meeting will be where the decision is made. Swan is confident that the planning application will be approved and will keep you informed with any new developments.

Look out for the planning decision in the press and the February 2012 Craylands and Beechwood Village Newsletter. Keep your fingers crossed for a positive result!
