Twickenham's Riverside Centre: the Way Ahead in 2009

The preferred layout

• 'FIVE developers are now engaged in a "competitive dialogue" with the Council which will consider and discuss detailed development proposals; the Council will emphasise that the enabling housing development must be of a scale that is required for the delivery of the River Centre and other public benefits, and no more.

This is expected to result in very firm proposals from 3 firms being in place by early 2009 in a format that is appropriate for public exhibition. The plan is that this exhibition be held in February, so that the Council Cabinet can choose a preferred developer by the end of April 2009. The chosen developer will then be expected to enter into a development contract with the Council and to apply for planning permission for the chosen scheme in the usual manner. Further public consultation will be undertaken as part of that planning process.
