Craig Croft Cluster
The Story So Far
In 2005, we worked with residents to develop a Neighbourhood Plan for Craig Croft. This Plan was approved in draft by the Council in November 2005. In March 2006 we sent local residents a Phasing Plan showing the order in which changes would take place.
In 2006/07 we developed the South Area Strategy, over 550 residents attended our events and gave valuable feedback on our proposals. The purpose of local area strategies is to supplement the Strategic framework and take forward the principles of the Strategic Framework, allowing early activity in locations where a master plan will not be produced for a number of years.
In January 2011 the NSP had to carry out a further review of its regeneration programme due to major cuts in government funding. This resulted in CC 11 and 12 being removed from the programme.
We have completed a number of milestones in the transformation of this neighbourhood:
-
124 new homes built with a further 46 under construction (July 2010)
-

New approach to planning the regenerationFollowing the strategic framework review which was agreed in June 2009 the new way of planning the regeneration is an approach based on Clusters. The cluster approach focuses on bringing forward regeneratiojn activities centred around large scale investments such as new schools and villages centres.
Spatial master planning is the process in which we bring forward the physical regeneration for an area. In the future a spatial master plan for whole Craig Croft Cluster will be developed alongside the community and stakeholders and everyone within the cluster will have an opportunity to shape the spatial master plan for that area. This masterplan will however not identify any further demolition within the Craig Croft Neighbourhood.
