Tower Hamlets Council Cabinet Meeting Tuesday 5th April 5.30pm 2016 £ Venue: C1, 1st Floor, Town Hall, Mulberry Place, 5 Clove Crescent, London, E14 2BG Officers recommended a smaller Area be recognised which Mayor John Biggs accepted. The Isle of Dogs Neighbourhood Planning Forum is now a legally recognised Forum but for a smaller Area then residents voted on back in November 2014 (the blue area in the map attached here is our legally recognised Area) Blackwall, Leamouth, Cold Harbour, Canary Riverside, Garford Street, Hertsmere Road etc would all be excluded from the revised Area. They could not vote in a future referendum nor be able to use the powers in the 2011 Localism Act over planning. Discussions will now take place with the 'lost' areas as to what they want to do next but the most likely solution may be to set up new sister forums. When Officers were asked why they were now recommending a smaller Area after in December 2015 recommending a bigger Area, they replied that they had received new external legal advice. No planning reasons were provided. The summary for the April Cabinet meeting which recommends a smaller area and for the December 2015 Cabinet meeting which recommended a bigger area (including Poplar) are below for comparison purposes. The agenda and statements from the meeting are here April 2016 Cabinet Recommendation for a smaller Area In conclusion, for the reasons explained, on balance, it is considered that the specified area is not an appropriate area to be designated as a neighbourhood area and, as such, it does not accord with section 61G(5) of the 1990 Act. Having assessed the proposed neighbourhood area specified in the application against the considerations listed in paragraph 035 of the PPG (as detailed above), it is considered that the specified area is not an appropriate neighbourhood area as it does not relate to a known or cohesive boundary and the character of the area is disparate, with the area south of South Dock being predominately residential in character and the area north of North Dock being predominately mixed-use. This distinction is reflected in the scale and design of the built environment as well as transport connectivity. December 2015 Cabinet Recommendation for a bigger Area 5.20 The proposed Area with amendments, identified in Appendix 4 represents a coherent and recognizable understanding of the Isle of Dogs. It is based on an aware of the strong physical boundaries posed by the River Thames and the highway network. It has a strong residential focus and excludes the highly concentrated office based uses that form the core of the Canary Wharf Business District. The recommended area recognises Ward boundaries and the forthcoming Isle of Dogs and South Poplar OAPF boundaries. Officer’s Recommendation 5.21 Designate the proposed area with amendments identified in Appendix 4, as the Isle of Dogs and South Poplar Neighbourhood Planning General Meeting - Thursday 17th March 2016, 7.30pm, Alpha Grove Community Centre This is the formal resolution that was passed in the meeting here and the minutes of the meeting are here This is the statement received from Mayor John Biggs in advance of the meeting here This was the presentation used on the night here Although not discussed on the night the recent policy statement by the GLA on the Central Activity Zone was summarised in this hand out here 2015 AGM & Special Meeting - Thursday 22nd October 2015, 7.30pm, Alpha Grove Community Centre Meeting notes can be found here of the Special part of the meeting and here of the AGM section This was the Agenda including the Constitutional amendments approved on the night This was the presentation made on the night including our first Annual report 2014 - AGM - Tuesday 25th November 2014, 7.15pm at St Johns Community Centre 52 people attended the meeting at St Johns Community Centre & a follow on meeting on Saturday at the Canary Wharf IDEA's store. One person lived in Poplar so could not vote but the rest voted un-aminously to accept the Plan Area here and the Constitution. The only material change agreed was to add a part of Poplar ward to the area, the Clove Crescent area where 1,800 new homes will replace the Council building. Attached here is a copy of our first constitution agreed on the night which was later amended in October 2015. Here is a copy of the application form submitted to the Council on the 1st December 2014 and a copy of the analysis of the area that we submitted here. May 2016 Meetings
