i t can say what sort of development we want to see in Bankside in the future, and how that development can help deliver benefits for our community.
the Bankside Neighbourhood Plan will makea difference
In Bankside that means residents,
businesses and community
organisations all working together
to agree a vision for the future of
our neighbourhood.
As well as setting out what we
want for the future character and
development of Bankside, the
Neighbourhood Plan will also be a
planning policy document that has
real powers to give direction for our
area, sitting alongside Southwark
Council’s New Local Plan and the
Mayor’s London Plan.
So what is the Bankside Neighbourhood Plan?
Your views are important to us so get involved
t he Government’s Localism Act now gives us all the chance to influence how our neighbourhood develops in the future through a Neighbourhood Plan.
residents, businesses and community organisations all working together
We have lots of long established
residential and business
communities, and world famous
cultural institutions in our
neighbourhood, and it’s now also
the focus for new residential and
business investment.
Whilst we need to have more homes
and jobs, we don’t think these
should be at the expense of the
special character of Bankside. New
development in Bankside benefits
the whole borough, and while we
welcome this investment it could
put what’s already here under strain.
What makes Bankside so special for us?
What do you think? let us know
b ankside’s rich history has given us a distinctive mixof buildings, streets andopen spaces. the focus for
new residential and business investment
The forum started to think about
what a plan for Bankside might say,
making sure what we all think is
special now, stays special.
As the Neighbourhood Plan will
affect the area where you live or
work, we want to be sure that what
goes in the plan is what local people
and local businesses want.
With all the new buildings and
developments, lots of new uses, and
even more new people living and
working in Bankside, it’s important
to make sure that the future
planning decisions are right for
Bankside and us.

making sure what we all think is special now, stays special
We’re looking at a number of
aspects of local life and the changes
that are happening or could happen.
We call them themes and we
would like your views on them.
They include:
• Heritage and design
• Small and large businesses
including retail
• Housing
• Green and open spaces
• Transport, streets and the
public realm
• Social facilities and service
How can we make our neighbourhood better?
What do you think? let us know
y our views will make sure that the Bankside Neighbourood Plan reflects local experiences as the neighbourhood changes over the coming years.
the Bankside Neighbourood Plan reflects the local experiences
Included within these are
improvements to our streets and
public spaces, and funding local
employment initiatives. Many of
these have made a difference to
local people and groups.
In future, there will be a new
“Projects List” as part of the
Neighbourhood Plan. It’s important
to find out your ideas now on new
community projects that have local
support, and that can make a
difference in our community.
What does the future hold?

l ocal opportunities from development. Over the years,a number of community projects have been funded through developments in Bankside.
Once all the ideas have been
collated from the consultations, and
have been taken into account, you
will have a further opportunity to
comment on the draft plan.
YOU ALSO GET A VOTEWhat’s also different about the
Neighbourhood Plan is that once
it’s written Bankside residents and
businesses can vote on it, probably
in early 2014. Voting for the
Neighbourhood Plan will mean local
opinions will influence the planning
decisions made by Southwark
Council on all future developments
in Bankside. That’s why the
Neighbourhood Plan needs to
say what local residents and
businesses want for Bankside.
