To consider issues relating to the regeneration of the Aylesbury Estate.

RESOLVED:

Decisions of the Cabinet

1.  That the previous decision to progress land transactions for sites 7 and 10 (Wolverton and Missenden) and the associated issues set out in paragraph 45 of the report  be noted.

2.  That officers consider an appropriate route for seeking a development partner for the Aylesbury, with initial focus on phase 1b and 1c (Bradenham, Chartridge, Arklow House and Chiltern), taking into account lessons learned on Aylesbury Phase 1a and other similar projects within Southwark, as indicated in paragraphs 50 to 54 of the report.

3.  That in relation to the redevelopment of sites 8 and 9 (East Street, Taplow and Northchurch), officers continue to consult with residents, the Aylesbury Health Centre, Creation and other stakeholders, as alternative options are explored.

4.  That officers also explore with residents, Creation and other local partners, options to enhance the existing community hub located on Thurlow Street, near to the junction with East Street, ahead of the longer term regeneration.

5.  That officers prepare a housing management and investment strategy for the Aylesbury, in consultation with residents, taking into account (a) the regeneration timetable set out in the Area Action Plan and (b) the council’s Decent Homes programme.

Decision of the Leader of the Council

6.  That the responsibility for agreeing the detail of the development brief for sites 7 and 10, following officer discussions with the Primary Care Trust and Creation Trust be delegated to the cabinet member for regeneration and corporate strategy.
