Further Development Linked with Slum Clearance.
Progress in further developments during the year was disappointing. Delays were caused by the
need for lengthy discussions with the Planning Authority on the relaxation of density restrictions and
final plans had to await the decision of the Ministry of Housing and Local Government on the Council's
representations. In respect of the Broadley Street/Penfold Street Scheme, a public inquiry was held
on the question of density. The original plan for the Freshwater Place site proved to be too costly
and a revised plan was eventually adopted. The position at the end of the year was :—-
Broadley Street/Penfold Street (30 flats)
Scheme approved. Site preparation works were commenced in December.
Ashbridge Street (East)—(10 flats)
Plans for the scheme have been approved and tenders obtained for the erection of the flats. The
formal consent of the Minister of Housing and Local Government is awaited.
Freshwater Place/Homer Row (9 maisonettes)
Site clearance work is almost complete and tenders for the erection of buildings will be invited
shortly.
Malready Street (171 flats)
Draft proposals for the development of this site have been approved. The possibility of extending
the scheme by the inclusion of the adjoining Broadley/Salisbury/Ashmill/Penfold Street Site is being
discussed with the London County Council,
