Aims and Objectives T F A The council is committed to developing a proposal for a masterplan that shows a development with a R number of different uses in line with those identified in the planning permission. It is important that the masterplan reflects the needs and aspirations of the many and varied communities in the area. The first stage is to understand what people would like to see as part of the new development in terms of uses as well as community facilities, green spaces and local amenities. The aim of the masterplanning exercise may D be summarised as follows: • Ensure that Meadowbank and its community are at the heart of the masterplan and its development. • Undertake a collaborative, design led approach with co-creation and stakeholders working at the centre of the design process. • Create an exceptional place that is rooted in its historic context. • Develop a vibrant new neighbourhood combining residential and commercial use in a holistic and sustainable way. • Create a positive relationship with the area, new development and shared open space to enhance the quality of life for local residents and visitors.
