Our ambition:
for St Colett’s Place >>> Buildings
01 Buildings demonstrate ‘Long Life - Loose fit’ > Planned for adaptability and change of uses in the future.
02 Buildings exceed English Partnerships Space Standards + 3m floor to ceiling heights
by providing the framework for a living and often edible landscape (shared
surface with permeable surface treatment, green sheds, soft and green edges,
edible hedges/trees, a shared kitchen garden, private gardens etc. All initiatives contribute to enhancing the authentic feel of this tranquil place and provide
opportunities to learn, explore and share time in the outdoors that change with seasons.
07 The quality and appearance of George Pateman courtyard is significantly
improved and contributes to the evolution of an urban yet natural sanctuary for both, the new and existing residents.

END of Debate for today ...but so many more questions!
Some 12 possible answers.....
Is there a risk of building a system that serves those who shout the loudest, are the fastest and/or have the resources to campaign hard for their cause? What happens to the existing institutions of our local political system? How can neighbourhood level decisions be achieved and have legitimacy? How will neighbourhood management bodies be established and who is accountable? How can we help secure a strong mandate for our clients? Who are our (new) clients? How will Councils and the Government deal with neighbourhood decisions if they differ from local and national level decisions? What are neighbourhood level issues? What are strategic level issues? How will the overlap be managed?
