Lambeth update on Streatham Hub regeneration project
Below is an update from Lambeth on the Streatham Hub project:
As you may know, Tesco’s planning application for a mezzanine floor as part of their proposed new store was approved by Lambeth’s Planning Application Committee on 12 October 2010, subject to conditions, a S106 agreement.
This was part of the revised negotiations with Tesco, agreed in principle by the council’s Cabinet in March 2010, which would also see a temporary ice rink located off site whilst the new permanent Streatham rink was built.
An application to locate the temporary ice rink at Pope’s Road, in Brixton, has been received and the formal planning process has commenced. This includes a three week statutory planning consultation, which runs from Friday 22 October until Friday 12 November. You can view the application on the Public Access Planning Database from council’s planning pages – www.lambeth.gov.uk/planning - the reference number is 10/03425/FUL. You can also see hard copies of the plans at the Town Planning Advice Centre (details below) or at Brixton Library (please telephone first – 020 7926 1067)
It is anticipated that this application, along with the amended section 106 legal agreement on the main Streatham Hub site, will be considered by the planning committee in December. Approval of the planning application for a temporary ice rink could see a temporary rink open in Brixton within a year.
With the relocation of the ice rink to Brixton on a temporary basis, construction work for the hub is expected to be quicker than previous estimates, with the anticipated completion date in 2013. You can see further information on the hub and the temporary ice rink at www.lambeth.gov.uk/streathamhub
