START

END of Debate for today ...but so many more questions!

Is there a risk of building a system that serves those who shout the loudest, are the fastest and/or have the resources to campaign hard for their cause? What happens to the existing institutions of our local political system?How can neighbourhood level decisions be achieved and have legitimacy? How will neighbourhood management bodies be established and who is accountable? How can we help secure a strong mandate for our clients? Who are our (new) clients?How will Councils and the Government deal with neighbourhood decisions if they differ from local and national level decisions?What are neighbourhood level issues? What are strategic level issues? How will the overlap be managed?

Some 12possible answers.....

Design and development principles for St Colett’s Place

>>> Buildings 01 Buildings demonstrate ‘Long Life - Loose fit’ > Planned for adaptability and change of uses in the future.02 Buildings exceed English Partnerships Space Standards + 3m floor to ceiling heights03 Buildings and Spaces are built for people of all abilities > step free 04 Buildings have an outstanding energy efficiency rating/e.g.

Zero Carbon/PassivHaus standard and built with recycled materials to exceptional finish>>> Spaces05 The new homes and spaces are bright and airy contributing to an exceptional quality of living inside and outside the homes. 06 The arrival of new homes introduces urban and edible biodiversity to St Colett’s
