Wornington Green Supplementary Planning Document
The Kensington Housing Trust is considering the redevelopment of
the Wornington Green Estate for a variety of reasons, including the
difficulty of achieving decent homes within the estate.
In response to this potential redevelopment, the Council has
prepared a Planning Brief for the Estate. This Brief has been
prepared as a Supplementary Planning Document (also known as the
SPD), which will be used as a material consideration in determining
planning applications within the Estate. The Council has consulted
on two previous drafts of the SPD. The last consultations were in
June and July 2009.
The SPD sets out the Council’s requirements for the
redevelopment of the Wornington Green Estate, detailing the
redevelopment priorities and measures to ensure resident's concerns
about the redevelopment are addressed. The SPD supplements emerging
policies in the Core Strategy and planning policies in the Unitary Development Plan.
To safeguard Athlone Gardens and the Venture Centre the planning
brief (or SPD) insists on:
- the return of a park at least the same size as the existing
Athlone Gardens once work is complete
- much improved park facilities, the form of which will be
determined through consultation with users
- the replacement of the Venture Centre, the new centre to be at
least as large as the current facility
- the replacement of the lock-ups on Munro Mews, the new lock ups
to be designed in consultation with the market traders who use
them
The SPD was adopted by the Council on 9 November 2009. The SPD,
together with all other supporting documents, are available to
download below:
Hard copies of the documents are also available for inspection
at the Planning Information Desk, Town Hall and at all local
libraries in the Royal Borough.
