4.2 Aerodrome Road Corridor of Change

To deliver the single largest phase of the AAP and to achieve the vision for Aerodrome Road Corridor of Change, development will be expected to:

  1. Provide high quality safe, direct and legible routes to Colindale interchange and the surrounding areas, particularly Beaufort Park;
  2. Provide a good mix of dwelling types and sizes and make a significant contribution to the overall housing targets at densities ranging from 120dph to 150dph depending on accessibility and proximity to the improved public transport interchange;
  3. Provide a high quality, well defined, overlooked and safe park of approximately 5ha with significant publicly accessible sports and leisure facilities – ‘Aerodrome Park’;
  4. Provide a new vehicular connection from Aerodrome Road to Colindeep Lane utilising the existing access underneath the Northern Line bridge;
  5. Support new commercial uses along Aerodrome Road incorporating the consolidation and redevelopment of the Metropolitan Police Peel Centre to provide new modern police training facilities;
  6. Provide the safeguarded opportunity for a new primary school and other educational and training facilities;
  7. Provide the opportunity for landowners to work in partnership to facilitate the early delivery of a new student village for Middlesex University;
  8. Support the sensitive relocation of the RAF Watchtower to the RAF Museum site and enhance its future use and public access for cultural and education purposes; and
  9. Support the re-use of the former Officers Mess building and improve its setting and prominence as a listed building.
