Following my recent adjournment debate on Convoys Wharf I was able to secure a meeting with Culture Minister Ed Vaizey on Thursday 6th February. I was accompanied by representatives from the Sayes Court Garden CIC and the Build the Lenox project. We were able to tell Mr Vaizey about our ambitions for the site and I felt it was a positive meeting. The minister will hopefully be visiting the site soon.
On Friday 7th February I had a further meeting at the Greater London Authority with Sir Edward Lister, GLA officers, Lewisham Council Planning officers, English Heritage, the National Trust, Sayes Court Garden CIC, Build the Lenox and a team of representatives of the developer (Hutchison Whampoa). The developer came forward with proposals for accommodating the Sayes Court and Lenox projects on site, but neither proposal quite meets our aspirations. There will, however, be more talks and our immediate aim is to ensure that the outline consent does not block off our options.
