This is achieved by work on;

• Master-planning area frameworks for large regeneration areas (see area based planning guidance);

• Advising on large scale and strategic planning applications made in the borough, and following up on promised improvements;

• Progressing strategic transport projects such as the DLR extensions, Crossrail and the Channel Tunnel Rail Link (CTRL) with the London Development Agency (LDA), Transport for London (TFL), the Greater London Authority (GLA), transport providers, major developers, the Thames Gateway London Partnership and the new London Thames Gateway Urban Development Corporation;

• Supporting Compulsory Purchase Orders, including securing funding and selecting development partners;

• Securing regeneration funding such as SRB, through the single pot of the LDA, Community Infrastructure Funding, Borough Spending plans, sub regional transport plans and Europe. See External Funding pages;

• Partnership working within the council between the Regeneration Projects teams, Planning Policy & Transportation and Development Control teams. Liaison is needed for projects that are led by other council sections - including Property and Design, Culture & Community and Education officers - to ensure that proposals are consistent with the wider regeneration and planning ambitions for Newham.
