Re-thinking the plan


After the challenge of locating garages that had been recommended for demolition yesterday, we had a rethink about our strategy for developing proposals for garages.

We discussed with Cristina how to define and clarify the brief and how site specific our proposals should be. We decided to continue to pursue the three sites that we had already identified – the two close to Arborthourne and Newfield Green with void garages according the audit, and the row of four garages we managed to find from the demolition list. Different strategies could be explored and developed for each site, with generic proposals for similar contexts/constraints. At the same time one site, could be investigated in detail through rigorous site analysis and consultation.

It was decided that the first community engagement would take place on Sunday, as originally thought, on the first site in Arborthorne. It would be an experimental tea party with a series of activities – ranging from drawing to games and tea and biscuits.
