ROYAL ARSENAL, WARREN LANE, WOOLWICH, LONDON

The Royal Arsenal is an important historic site of over 34 hectares,
  comprising of one of the largest collections of listed buildings in
  the country.  HFBT Director Kevin Burrell led the consultant team
  for the client English Partnerships/London Development Agency
  for the regeneration of the site. The Royal Arsenal regeneration
  has become an exemplar of regeneration of inner city opportunity
  areas and is cited by the government as the most successful
  example to date.

The infrastructure, restoration and development works are
  complete, and the regeneration benefits are starting to be felt in
  the rest of Woolwich. The planning aspects of the scheme have
  included steering the main outline application through the
  development control process; this has involved section 106
  negotiations, the submission of an Environmental Statement and
  Transport Impact Assessments.

The master plan was a flexible framework which developed as
  market demands have reshaped the disposition of uses on site. 
  Considerable physical work was undertaken including extensive
  remediation, archaeological investigations, remodelling of the
  roads and infrastructure, as well as preparing the site to attract
  commercial sector developers.

The development of the master plan strategy has had to give
  regard to the following:
  .	Integration with the requirements of the community and
                its relationship to the existing town centre and surrounding
                developments
  .	Relationship to transport initiatives
  .	Creation of employment; Feasibility in terms of demand and
                development potential

The Masterplan was taken through to implementation with the
  completion of the infra structure contracts and the refurbishment
  of a number of buildings on the site.  The first phases of new
  homes are occupied and the regeneration is now well underway.
