Sites InformationGeneralAdopted Core Strategy (2010) - The Core Strategy indicatively identifies the places within the east of the borough as being able to deliver higher levels of new housing (with the exception of Bow and Vic-toria Park) alongside Shoreditch and Spitalfields in the west. This has an impact on the requirements for strategic physical, social and green infrastructure in these locations.

LBTH Planning for Population Change and Growth Capacity Assessment Baseline Report (2009) - The Planning for Population Change and Growth Model identified the levels of housing growth used to inform the Core Strategy, thereby identifying the amount of infrastructure required across the borough.

LBTH Infrastructure Delivery Plan Report (2009) - The Sites and Placemaking DPD is supported by the Infrastructure Delivery Plan Report (2009) that provides further information on where strategic physical, social and green infrastructure will be required until 2025 based on the PPCGM Baseline Report (2009).

Large-scale housing developmentsThe LBTH Planning for Population Change and Growth model has identified locations suitable for delivering sites of over 500 net-additional new homes across the borough. Sites submitted as part of the Call for Sites consultation have also been analysed to determine their potential for delivering over 500 net-additional new homes.

Strategic open spaceAdopted Core Strategy (2010) - The Core Strategy identifies the need to create new publicly accessi-ble open spaces of a range of sizes, through areas of search, in the following places:

Poplar Riverside Bethnal Green Fish Island Bromley-by-Bow Aldgate (open space now complete) Spitalfields and Shoreditch

Specifically it provides areas of search for new publicly accessible green open space. These areas of search have been used to focus the search for development sites suitable for new strategic open space.

LBTH Open space strategy (2006) - The Sites and Placemaking DPD is supported by the Open Space Strategy (2006) which identifies locations within the borough that have poor access to open space and was used to inform the areas of search for new publicly accessible green open space.

LBTH Place-specific guidance - The following place-specific guidance identify that new open space should be provided within their area:

Bishopsgate Goods Yard Interim Planning Guidance (2010) Bromley-by-Bow masterplan (2006) Fish Island Area Action Plan (engagement draft)

Idea StoresAdopted Core Strategy (2010) - The Core Strategy spatial policies guide community facilities to be

203

located within accessible town centres. It also identifies the need to provide new Idea Stores, through areas of search, in the following places:

Shadwell Bethnal Green Cubitt Town

The spatial policies and areas of search have been used to focus the search for development sites that would be suitable for new Idea Stores.

LBTH Idea Store Strategy (2002) - The Sites and Placemaking DPD is supported by the Idea Store Strategy that states town centres to be the preferred locations for Idea Stores. Following the devel-opment of a number of Idea Stores during previous years it continues to identify the town centres of Bethnal Green and Crossharbour as potential locations due to the following reasons:

Bethnal Green - ‘The Council recognises the affection some members of the community have for the Bethnal Green Library building. An Idea Store Bethnal Green was identified in the original Idea Store Strategy and there continues to be a need to provide 21st century library, learning and information services in this part of the borough.

As well as investigating the most accessible location for library and information services in the area, the Council will continue to work towards securing the long-term future of the building within the con-text of developing the best possible solutions for local residents.’

Crossharbour - An Idea Store in this location was proposed in the original Idea Store Strategy and remains relevant. It would help bring people at the southern part of the Isle of Dogs within easy reach. Crossharbour has been identified as a new multi-use town centre. Alongside the existing supermarket provision, it is expected that the town centre will provide a range of other retail outlets as well as com-munity facilities and a health centre. The town centre will be adjacent to Crossharbour DRL station and will be served by buses from across the Isle of Dogs.

The lease of Idea Store Canary Wharf will come to an end in 2019 and forward planning for replacing this facility will need to commence well in advance. The Council has secured a potential replacement facility within the Wood Wharf development to the east of the existing Canary Wharf estate and this may be a suitable alternative to a Crossharbour location. Both Crossharbour and Wood Wharf would place the facility within an accessible shopping district. Unlike the Canary Wharf mall, Wood Wharf and Crossharbour are expected to be more focused on day to day shopping rather than fashion retail making them more everyday destinations for local residents. Further details feasibility work will need to be undertaken to determine the best way forward for Idea Store provision on the Isle of Dogs.’

Leisure facilityAdopted Core Strategy (2010) - The Core Strategy spatial policies guide community facilities to be located within accessible town centres. It also identifies the need to provide new and improved leisure facilities, through areas of search, in the following places:

Shadwell and Wapping Poplar Cubitt Town

The spatial policies and areas of search have been used to focus the search for development sites that would be suitable for new and improved leisure facilities.


204

LBTH Leisure Facilities Strategy (Sporting Places) (2009) - The Sites and Placemaking DPD is sup-ported by the Leisure Facilities Strategy identifies the need to provide additional swimming pool and sports hall capacity in the east of Tower Hamlets (including the Isle of Dogs). Poplar Baths was identi-fied as a potential location to address a portion of this need which, as an option, was supported by Cabinet in March 2010. The strategy also promotes the consolidation of existing leisure facilities.

Gypsies and Travellers accommodationLondon Plan (2008) - The current London Plan requires boroughs to set out criteria for identifying the suitability of new Gypsies and Travellers sites to meet borough requirements stated in the London Borough’s Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Needs Assessment (2008).

London Borough’s Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Needs Assessment (2008) - This report iden-tifies individual borough requirements for the provision of new Gypsies and Travellers accommoda-tion. The report identified Tower Hamlets as requiring 19 to 33 additional pitches in the next 5 years and a further 6 to 7 in the following 5 years to meet growing demands.

Minor alteration to the consultation draft replacement London Plan Draft Policy 3.9 Gypsies and Trav-ellers (including travelling show people) (2010) - this proposed alteration to the draft replacement Lon-don Plan proposes to decrease the target for the number of pitches within the borough to 14 pitches between 2007-2017 and approximately 5-6 pitches between 2018-2025 (covering the lifetime of the current adopted Core Strategy) using the Mayor's methodology.

Adopted Core Strategy (2010) - The Core Strategy identifies the need to allocate sites within the Sites and Placemaking DPD for new Gypsies and Travellers sites to meet the targets within the current London Plan. It provides three criteria to be used during the site allocation process for the Sites and Placemaking DPD; new sites should be:

Those that have been identified as suitable for housing Have good means of access from roads and be near bus routes and other transport modes Not be located in areas of high flood risk (Flood Risk Zone 3)

LBTH Gypsies and Travellers Criteria for additional sites in Tower Hamlets (2009) - The Sites and Placemaking DPD is supported by the Gypsies and Travellers Criteria for additional sites in Tower Hamlets (2009) document which identifies the need for new sites in accordance with the targets set out in the London Plan (2008). This document provides the context and background for the develop-ment of the three criteria used within the Core Strategy (2010).

Multi-faith burial groundAdopted Core Strategy (2010) - The Core Strategy identifies the need to plan for a multi-faith burial ground and sets out three criteria for the Sites and Placemaking DPD to use in allocating a site. These state that any site for a multi-faith burial ground should meet the following:

Site must be of an appropriate size that ensures sufficient burial space for an appropriate number of years.

Site must be accessible to all sections of the community. Sites must be suitable for the purpose of burial.

LBTH Criteria for Multi-Faith Burial Ground Report (2009) - The Sites and Placemaking DPD is sup-


205

ported by the Criteria for Multi-Faith Burial Ground Report (2009) which identifies that there are pres-ently no active burial sites within Tower Hamlets. Residents requiring burial sites therefore have to find locations outside of the borough. This usually incurs a premium charge for residents regardless of whether the cemetery is operated privately or by a local authority.

In 2007 the Council attempted to find a suitable location for a multi faith burial site. This led to the identification of two potential sites within the borough, Bow Common Gas Works and Tower Hamlets Cemetery and one outside the borough boundaries in Hainault.

Using the work carried out in 2007, the Council developed criteria within the Multi-Faith Burial Ground Report (2009) to inform the Core Strategy and in identifying a site in the Sites and Placemaking DPD. These criteria were used in identifying the suggested sites within the engagement document:

Any potential site must be of an appropriate size to ensure sufficient burial space is available for an appropriate number of years. For Tower Hamlets, this is assumed to be 30 years.

Potential site(s) must be easily accessible by Tower Hamlets residents and therefore must have good access from roads, be accessible by public transport.

Sites must be suitable for the purpose of burial e.g. topography of land should generally be flat, water table must be low etc.

Whilst the above criteria guide the identification of sites, there are a number of sites which will not be suitable for use as a burial site. They include sites which are:

In areas with Public Transport Access Level (PTAL) 5-6 as these are locations suitable for high density activities, such as residential and employment.

In town centre locations due to the nature, locations and setting of these centres and the key services they currently provide or will provide in the future.

Health facilityAdopted Core Strategy (2010) - The Core Strategy spatial policies guide community facilities to be located within accessible town centres. It also identifies the need to provide new and improved leisure facilities, through areas of search, in the following places:

Cubitt Town / Millwall Eastern parts of the borough (3-4 facilities) Western parts of the borough (2-3 facilities)

The spatial policies and areas of search have been used to focus the search for development sites that would be suitable for new health leisure facilities. However it should be noted that the majority of new health facilities have been secured since the development of the Core Strategy and are not required to be represented in the Sites and Placemaking DPD.

NHS Tower Hamlets Improving Health and Wellbeing Capital Scheme - The Sites and Placemaking DPD has been informed by the NHS Tower Hamlets Improving Health and Wellbeing Capital Scheme that has review the current status of the delivery of new health facilities and refurbishment of existing ones. This has identified the following sites for new and/or expanded health facilities:

Mile End Hospital Royal London Hospital


206

Goodman’s Fields Wood Wharf Crosshabour town centre

In addition to these locations Fish Island may require a new health facility dependant on the Olympic Legacy proposals.

Secondary SchoolAdopted Core Strategy (2010) - The Core Strategy identifies the need to provide new secondary schools in the following places by using areas of search:

Fish Island Mile End Bromley-by-Bow

The areas of search have been used to focus the search for development sites that would be suitable for new secondary schools. Searches for development sites have also been carried out across the borough given the size requirements of size and in light of public transport accessibility levels.

DfE Building Bulletin 98: Briefing for Secondary School Projects (2009)This document outlines the physical requirements (including minimum size) for secondary schools which have been used in identifying suitable sites.

Primary SchoolAdopted Core Strategy (2010) - The Core Strategy identifies the need to provide new primary schools in the following places by using areas of search:

Fish Island Bromley-by-Bow Poplar Riverside Cubitt Town Millwall

The areas of search have been used to focus the search for development sites that would be suitable for new primary schools. Searches for development sites have also been carried out in other places in the east of the borough where medium to very-high housing growth is expected (Core Strategy SP02).

DfE Building Bulletin 99: Briefing for Primary School Projects (2009)This document outlines the physical requirements (including minimum size) for primary schools which have been used in identifying suitable sites.

Combined primary and secondary schoolPotential sites for combined primary and secondary schools have been identified using criteria for new secondary schools.

Waste management facilityAdopted Core Strategy (2010) - The Core Strategy identifies the need to provide new primary schools in the following places by using areas of search:


207

Fish Island Bromley-by-Bow Poplar Riverside Blackwall

The areas of search have been used to focus the search for development sites that would be suitable for a new waste management facility.

LBTH Waste Evidence Base Report (2009) - The Sites and Placemaking DPD is supported by the Waste Evidence Base Report which identified initial potential site options that was later refined in the Core Strategy.

District heating facilitiesLondon Borough of Tower Hamlets London Heat Map Study (2011) - The borough's heat map study identifies eight 'focus areas' or 'clusters' which are most suitable for the implementation of district heating facilities (see p.100). The clusters have been determined by grouping as many heat users together as possible and where an energy strategy is already underway or where planning permission is being sought or given to a larger residential and / or mixed use development.

The clusters have been ranked in order by their potential for delivery:

Stepney - High Mile End - High Aldgate/ Whitechapel - High Bethnal Green - High Blackwall - High Canary Wharf - Medium Bromley by Bow - Medium Wapping - Medium

NB: The clusters are not the same as the place boundaries
