About the Knowle West Regeneration Framework and the Outline Planning Application for Filwood Broadway Corridor
Regular readers of The Knowledge will know that Bristol City Council are working with members of the local community, local organisations and landowners to develop a regeneration plan for Knowle West. This group of people is called the Knowle West Team. They are working to shape the plan, which will show how Knowle West should change of the next 20 years.
Consultants Urban Initiatives are helping the Knowle West Team and the Council to develop this plan, called the Knowle West Regeneration Framework. They are also be developing an Outline Planning Application for the Filwood Broadway Corridor, so that improvements can be delivered as early as 2011.
Urban Initiatives have been specifically selected to work on this project by the council and its partners, the Homes and Community Agency and the South West of England Regional Development Agency.
The Knowle West Regeneration Framework will plan for exciting improvements in the area, likely to include:
- new housing, supporting new shops and community facilities
- new employment opportunities
- new education and skills facilities
- better public transport
- and improved open green spaces and play spaces
How can YOU get involved?
The main opportunity for local people to have their say on the development of the Knowle West Regeneration Framework is during 14th – 17th November. A series of events are being held in various locations in Knowle West, called ‘Knowle West Conversations’. At these events a number of options, which outline the ideas for the future of Knowle West, will be discussed. Urban Initiatives would really like to hear what you think about these ideas. Your concerns, ideas and priorities are really important. They will shape the next stage of the planning, so read more out about how you can have your say!
