The next meeting of the Canada Water Consultative Forum on Monday 18th January will look at transport links. Speakers include Val Shawcross, Transport for London and London Borough of Southwark talking about their transport simulation model.

Finally, after 7 years of discussions and consultations, work has started on the first phase of the Canada Water Masterplan. Planning permission for site B1 was given on 22nd January 2008 and construction is now complete. Site B2 is under construction and work has now started on the new £14M library which is due to open in March 2011. The Plaza area between the library and site B2 is due to be completed by the end of 2010. All details on these sites can be found here. The picture above shows the proposed library and Site B2.

The latest designs for Site A include the introduction of a 26 storey tower, the removal of the town houses with gardens and the introduction of a series of blocks of flats and maisonettes.

Some of the public consultation comments about Site A from 2006 have been rejected in the planning proposals (click here).

September 2009: Planning applications have been submitted for Site C (Waterside View - picture below) and Downtown. The Canada Water Area Action Plan is still in consultation phase (up to 5pm October 13th, 2009) - see latest news.

See Latest News for reports and updates and pictures for the new Canada Water Library, Mulberry Business Park and Site C - Waterside View.

Here is the only place online where you will find the Planning Applications for Sites A&B, Design Code and the Arup Transport Assessment and EDCO Public Realm documents.

The total redevelopment of Canada Water in London SE16 has now started. The community aspiration is for a "low, clean and green" waterside development, preserving and enhancing the attractions of Canada Water itself but also becoming a community focus rather than a barren set of car parks. The community - through the Canada Water Campaign - has been fighting hard to preserve the dock and to prevent overdevelopment whilst achieving the facilities that are badly needed.

A British Land/Canada Quays consortium was chosen as the preferred developer-led team to masterplan development at Canada Water following extensive public consultation. This followed Southwark Council's adoption of the Master Developer Brief and the Planning & Design Principles & Technical Appendices which the Canada Water Consultative Forum worked so hard on. Their first applications gave been submitted for sites A &B (see above).

Join the debate, keep close to the action, come to the meetings.

Next Meeting: Monday 18th January 2010, 7:00pm at Alfred Salter School
