The Chrisp Street Regeneration Project has

example: during Master planning, outline pre-planning application
stage and at detailed planning stages. Ongoing engagement comprises
regular newsletters and other communications, drop-ins and
representative forums, etc in addition to dialogue on decant and
property acquisitions/lease variations. The Council has also
undertaken a pre-CPO engagement process with affected parties to
review the impact to their property interest and to explain the CPO
process in further detail. In advance of the Cabinet date, the
Council intends to write to all identified property interest to
explain section 203 powers and the impact on their individual
rights where applicable. No further consultation is required prior
to this decision; however the report provides an update on on-going
negotiations with affected land interests which will be impacted by
the proposed CPO and use of section 203 powers.
Has an Equality Analysis been carried out and if so the result of this Assessment?: YES An equality impact analysis checklist and report has been completed which assesses the impacts to the protected characteristics. The report supports the implementation of the measures proposed to facilitate delivery of the overall regeneration: overall the impacts of the scheme are considered to be positive.
