Approval of the preliminary
designs for the Plumstead PRIP

Content

Noted the consultation
responses on the preliminary designs for Plumstead Public Realm
Improvement Project (Plumstead PRIP)
 
Approved the preliminary
designs for the Plumstead PRIP shown on
drawings within Appendix A to progress to the
detailed designs and construction phases of the
project.
 
Noted that progression through
the detailed design phase will require a Traffic Management
Order(s) to enable the relocation of the affected loading bay and
parking, and to introduce new cycle infrastructure where none
previously existed. This will be subject to its own decision report
and relevant consultation; it is anticipated that the construction
phase of the project will be delivered by the appointed highways
term contractor and managed through the
existing contract with them.
 
Noted that the estimated cost
of the scheme is £2.71m and that funding for delivery of the
scheme has been secured as part of the Thamesmead Housing Zone
delivery agreement between the Council, the Greater London
Authority and the Peabody Trust.
 
Noted that public realm
improvements must be completed before the occupation of phase one
of the Griffin Manor Way/Pettman
Crescent development, currently scheduled for
October 2025, and that failure
to deliver by this point would necessitate the return of the
external funding.
