Eastwood Neighbourhood Masterplan
- report by Kalpana Desai, HMR Manager, Rotherham East
Minutes:
Kalpana Desai, HMR Manager Rotherham East, presented a report setting out the key elements of the draft Eastwood masterplan and identified key issues and matters for consideration.
The Project Management Group and ADF Steering Group had been leading the work since February, 2006. Following on from the stakeholder consultation, the ADF Steering Group was keen to ensure community consultation was underway as soon as possible. Consultants were currently developing option boards to present at the first of 2 community consultation events.
The following issues had emerged from the draft working masterplan:-
Highway proposals for Fitzwilliam Road
Proposal to create green space along Fitzwilliam Road
Rehousing, phasing and private sector acquisitions
Environmental improvements – Easwood Middle
Early involvement of preferred RSL
Redevelopment of older person’s accommodation on Claredon Road
Planning and land use issues.
It was noted that new tools were being developed to speed up the process of decanting and rehousing but had to take account of all the masterplans where there might be rehousing issues. Regular meetings were held with 2010 to consider regeneration issues, rehousing and the decommissioning of units.
Agreed:- (1) That the report be noted and the process for wider community consultation activities agreed.
(2) That Ward Members be informed of any decanting/rehousing issues.
