Albion Waterside Planning Submission Presentation

On Wednesday 24 February 2021 the local community was invited to a Zoom webinar for a detailed presentation of the planning submission proposals for the regeneration of Albion Waterside.

The newsletter can be downloaded here and the planning submission presentation can be downloaded here.

Background
Following several months of engagement with the local community and stakeholders, Joseph Homes will submit the planning application for the regeneration of Albion Waterside in late February 2021. The plans give extensive access to the waterside, with a Riverside Walk, a greener environment with energy efficient buildings, including up to 1500 new homes, circa 4,500m2 of commercial space and a new mobility hub, promoting sustainable modes of transport to and from the site.

The dialogue with the local community has been all important in shaping the proposals. Changes made since the initial Vision was presented to the community in September include:

Increasing the site boundary to include further land to the south, to provide circa 200 additional homes
Repositioning heights across the masterplan and the “marker” building moved from the west of the site to a central position;
Amendments to the masterplan to incorporate an east-west pedestrian/cycle route through the site and to the Town Centre;
Redesigned Riverside Walk with more permeability into the proposed communal gardens, connecting through the site; and
Redesigned water feature, maintaining the former alignment of the canal with more formal design in keeping with the desires of the Thames and Medway Canal Association
