We are planning for the first new homes to be ready for occupation from 2010. The planning application is due to be submitted in spring/summer 2008.
If the Council approves the planning application by the end of summer 2008, work on site will start from 2009.
Planning application
Berkeley Homes have appointed a team of consultants to develop a planning application for the majority of the area. Lifshutz, Davidson and Sandilands (LDS) lead the team.
The team will develop the planning application between now and spring/summer 2008.
Initial public consultation events
A series of exhibitions, workshops and public consultation events were held in November 2007 to:
- set the principles for the area
- set out proposals and plans for the new area
We plan to hold more consultation events in early of 2008 before submitting the planning application.

Preparation
Early demolition for the vacant Old People's Home at Elford Close and other small blocks could take place this year.
Berkeley Homes will shortly be setting up offices and developing signage to announce the regeneration.
Development stages
The first phase of development is proposed on land east of Sutcliffe Park, adjacent to Eltham Green and Meadowside.
Details of this first phase will be outlined in planning applications due for submission in spring 2008.
