Purfleet Centre Development Framework
The Corporation's June 2007 Purfleet Masterplan (PDF,
new window, 3.8MB) proposed that a new centre of Purfleet is
created to provide a clear focus for the area. This included new
areas for employment and retail, new homes, a new primary school,
open space and new health and community centre.
The Corporation undertook a public consultation from 16th July
to 28th August 2009 to inform the local residents and businesses of
the draft Purfleet Centre Development Framework document and seek
their views. This draft document provided further details,
information and visuals of how the final development would
look.
This public consultation consisted of two parts. The first was
the delivery of over 3,300 public consultation brochures and
letters to households, businesses and stakeholders within the local
area inviting comments and feedback on the latest proposals.
The second was a public exhibition held between 21st and 25th
July 2009 for any individual who required further information or
had questions for the team regarding the development proposals.
The results of the public consultation showed strong support for
the Corporation’s proposals and in September 2009, the Corporation
adopted the Purfleet
Centre Development Framework. This provides the blueprint for
the planned physical urban regeneration to support the delivery of
a new centre for Purfleet. This Framework now forms the
Corporations formal planning policy document for the
area.
The Opportunity
The Corporations proposals provide for approximately
• 3,500 new homes
• 40,000m2 of employment space
• 10,000m2 of retail space
• Community uses, including a new additional health centre,
and 3-form primary school
• New public open space and enhanced access to the River
Thames
• Reconfigured railway station
• A new central square and High Street through Botany
Quarry
The Purfleet
Centre Development Framework provides a strong and robust
document for the delivery of comprehensive regeneration in Purfleet
and the creation of a well planned, sustainable mixed-use
community.
