Skyline Enterprise Ltd's vision to transform Kilvey Hill into a £40m leisure hub is stirring conversation. On one hand, it heralds a significant economic boost with a cable car and zipline attraction nestled amidst Swansea's historic landscape. Local business advocates envision an economic renaissance. 🚡💼 Yet, we're urged to pause - what is the price of progress? Campaigners argue this endeavour could indeed "trash" our treasured green spaces and disrupt local wildlife, severing a connection to a simpler, natural heritage. 🌲🐾 The balance between economic development and ecological conservation is delicate. Can this innovative project co-exist with the hill's historical grandeur without compromising its integrity? Swansea council's commitment to public consultation reassures that every voice can shape the final decision. What's your take on this transformative project? Will it be a jewel in Swansea's crown, or a step too far for our green legacy? 🗨️ Share your thoughts below. ⚖️ Let's weigh development with preservation. #Swansea #Planning #TownPlanning

https://lnkd.in/dagKfBSc Isn't it great when a project keeps on giving. Thirty years ago last month we held the North Arncliffe Charrette, the first in NSW. Bob Meyer and Peter R (for Robinson) were the lead consultants and the charrette team included Paul Murrain, Wendy Morris, Chris Stapleton, David White and others that I never see on LinkedIN (but let me know if you're out there). As the Director of Planning for Rockdale CC, my objectives were to: 1. Extend the planned airport rail line to the East Hills Line where it crossed the Main Southern Line, giving a very powerful (in urbanist terms) focus to the redevelopment of North Arncliffe (now named Wolli Creek); 2. Divert the freeway from as much of the Wolli Creek valley as could possibly be achieved (thankyou The Hon. Carl Scully); 3. Protect Tempe House, its chapel and gardens; and 4. Demonstrate the value of rezoning North Arncliffe for a high density transit oriented development (#TOD). We achieved all of that and, when the rezoning was assured, the project passed first to Landco (David Chandler OAM) who secured the masterplan and then to a Landcom-Australand JV that I helped to set up thanks to the support of Sean O'Toole (I was at Landcom by then). When it was clear that it would be profitable Australand bought out Landcom and then Australand morphed into Frasers who delivered the project (well done Rod Fehring, Nigel Edgar and team). There is now just one building left to complete. Now Wolli Creek Park has been increased in area by about 10% to 45 Ha (thanks Minister Penny Sharpe) and it directly links with the Cook River open space and park network at its eastern end (see the link for a plan showing the acquired lands). All we need now is that long-promised footbridge to connect Discovery Point to Waterworth Park (please note Rod Fehring and Minister Sharpe).

We're pleased to announce the completion of the Brighton & Hove Green Infrastructure Study, commissioned by Brighton & Hove City Council. LUC, working with Peter Massini at Future Nature Consulting, undertook this project to understand and improve the city's network of green infrastructure (GI). 🌳🏡 GI includes parks, green corridors, and natural spaces that provide vital benefits for the environment and residents. A key part of the study explored the potential application of an Urban Greening Factor (UGF) policy for the city. Our work involved testing Natural England’s UGF model policy on a range of developments to strengthen the evidence base for an innovative UGF policy for Brighton & Hove. The UGF seeks to promote the delivery of good quality GI by considering factors such as the amount, type, and location of green space, primarily within urban contexts. The study also reviewed existing GI provision across Brighton & Hove. This helped identify areas with limited green space and those in particular need of enhancement. Brighton & Hove City Council will use the study's findings to develop policies for strengthening GI planning. This will ensure the city has a network of high-quality GI that meets the needs of both people and wildlife. The recommendations will be included to inform the review of the City Plan, to create a greener and more sustainable Brighton & Hove for the future. #Brighton #GreenInfrastructure #GBI #GreenSpace #UrbanGreeningFactor #CityPlan

300 homes proposed south of Oxshott on Leatherhead Road

Wigan Council has recently confirmed plans for the construction of 1,100 residential units on Green Belt Land. The initial phase of the project aims to provide 200 dwellings, with 25% designated as affordable housing. Additionally, the proposal includes the expansion of a primary school, the establishment of new parkland and wetland areas, the creation of public open spaces, and the enhancement of footpaths and cycleways.   Traditionally, any development on Green Belt Land is often perceived as inherently "harmful" and deemed to cause "significant harm" to the visual and spatial openness of the green belt. Despite this, the scheme offers substantial benefits, such as the creation of 220 jobs, the provision of affordable housing, the implementation of new transport infrastructure, and the development of high-quality parkland.   Given the general aversion to development on Green Belt Land at both local and national levels, the question arises: Are projects with clear and significant benefits the path forward for development on the Green Belt? #wigan #planning #greenbelt #developmentmanagement
