06 The arrival of new homes introduces urban and edible biodiversity to St Colett’s
by providing the framework for a living and often edible landscape (shared
surface with permeable surface treatment, green sheds, soft and green edges,
edible hedges/trees, a shared kitchen garden, private gardens etc. All initiatives
contribute to enhancing the authentic feel of this tranquil place and provide
opportunities to learn, explore and share time in the outdoors that change with
seasons.

TOTAL GFA = circa. appr.2500m2 END of Debate 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?
for today ...but 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?
so many more questions! 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?
