Conclusion

This Woolwich Town Centre Supplementary Planning Document builds upon the Woolwich Town Centre Masterplan of 2012.

The decision to produce an SPD was made in order to provide a detailed vision for how development in Woolwich Town Centre will be able to improve the area as a whole, not just through specific development sites, of which there are relatively few.

The SPD is likely to be more successful that the 2012 Masterplan document because it has:

Consistently applied strong, people-centred objectives

Objectives were addressed throughout proposals. Cross referencing was quantified in the evaluation of tools and data was then compiled and analysed in Table 1. (annex).

Integrate Connectivity + Grow Sustainable Transport

Improve Quality, Integration + Build Pride in Public Realm Enhance Functional Mix + Optimise Density

Enhance Social Infrastructure for Existing + Incoming Communities

Enhance Social Enhance Functional Improve Quality, Integration + Build Integrate Connectivity + Grow Sustainable Transport Infrastructure for Existing + Incoming Communities Mix + Optimise Density The diagram above visualises this data by attributing the most referenced objectives with Pride in Public Realm wider arrows. It is evident that Public Realm was most strongly cross referenced, followed equally by Connectivity and Social Infrastructure and lastly Land Use mix.

These results are expected due to the pressing need to address disparities within the pubic realm, connectivity and social infrastructure in Woolwich. Incentivising mixed day and night time use and optimising density will support these improvements to take place by stimulating Woolwich’s economy.

All of the proposals were evaluated to have a strong ability to perform ..... with the exception of one:

27 Proposals

1 Proposal LU1.1 Manage expected housing growth

Clearly explained how these tools will be delivered Phasing Funding Dependencies and Mitigation

In a context of uncertainty with regards to funding , infrastructure and stakeholder partnerships, the delivery of the portfolio of proposals have been carefully considered as a whole in an effort to avoid piecemeal and inequitable development.

Carefully considered language used

The SPD learnt from the Masterplan’s use of vague, imprecise language to ensure that it strikes a clear balance between informational, directive and aspirational tones.
