The LDA and its partners are committed to undertaking extensive consultation with the community and its stakeholders in order to influence and improve proposals for the Park and sports facilities.
The Statement of Community Involvement is the extensive report into the inclusive process surrounding the Masterplan. It was produced to support the submission of the Masterplan to the London Borough of Bromley.
There is also an Addendum to the SCI that details the exhibition of the Masterplan that took place in October 2007.
The consultation on the Planning Framework has ended.
A full report analysing all of the comments along with the submissions made by political, business, sporting and community groups is now being independently prepared and will be available here soon.
Following on-going and detailed discussions with local groups, the LDA wanted to get views from the wider local community on the future of the park and its sports facilities.
From 18-16 September 2004, we exhibited a range of ideas including six possibilities for future sports provision in the park and various degrees of regeneration for the park itself. About 2500 people took the opportunity to look at what was on display and have their say, telling us what they thought of the ideas and putting forward many of their own.
Plans for regenerating the park had proved controversial in the past. It was therefore very important that the consultation results were analysed and assessed independently to demonstrate freedom from any bias. The consultants carrying out the consultation, Nigel Westaway Associates, had already facilitated a large amount of dialogue with local groups and it was felt that their involvement would bring a large amount of local knowledge and experience to the project.
