9 Themes, Aims, Vision, Options 2017
Working groups were formed from the wider Lee Forum membership to analyse the consultation responses and evidence in order to develop a Vision and Objectives for the Lee Neighbourhood Plan.
Consultation Results Summary:
| Lee Forum Area Unique Qualities | Lee Forum Area Key Issues | Lee Forum Area Priorities |
|
A strong, family-oriented and diverse community driven to improve their neighbourhood The River Quaggy Access to parks and sports grounds Large areas of consistent heritage architecture Community library in the Grade II listed Lee Manor House in the conservation area Community centre in the retail shopping centre Its district level retail offer with good locally run shops Many local and diverse community groups A number of tree lined roads |
River Quaggy hidden from view for most of its stretch through Lee Lack of school, affordable childcare and other facilities provision Decline of district level retail with a poor range of provision Many heritage buildings empty / disrepair / run-down Traffic heavy town centre and ‘rat-runs’ Unacceptable levels of litter and pollution levels
|
Under-valued and underused retail on Lee High Road The District Centre – its function and design and relationship to the proposed Leegate redevelopment Wider variety of shops and amenities including community centres Protection of heritage features to avoid any deterioration of the pleasant environment Access to the River Quaggy Provision of facilities relative to the demand Improved traffic management Improved green spaces and environmental standards Design creating ongoing quality history |
These results were then developed into these Objectives:
| Objectives of neighbourhood plan | ||
| Area | Objective | |
| Family & community | Be recognised as one of London’s top 10 places to bring up a family and grow old | |
| Green and Blue (eg Quaggy) spaces | Protect and grow green/blue space | |
| Diversity and independent shops and businesses | Protect and grow the number of independent businesses in line with our cultural diversity. | |
| Transport (Getting around) Connections | Protect and grow our transport connectivity and reduce air pollution | |
| Heritage and character | To ensure existing and new high quality buildings add to the wellbeing of our area and are protected for future generations | |
These working groups and volunteers then drafted the first version of the neighbourhood plan.
