BNGA1 Burnt Oak/Colindale Growth Area
The Burnt Oak/ Colindale Growth Area is promoted for mixed use regeneration along the axis of Edgware Road. The primary emphasis in this area will be on creating a sense of place, through well considered quality design that is complementary to the remaining adjacent metroland heritage of the area. This will also seek to reduce the traffic dominance of Edgware Road through public realm improvements, including significant urban greening. New economic activity will be created along Edgware Road in the form of ground floor commercial and employment uses. Reduction in car dependency and the greater uptake of active travel should be achieved through the implementation of the London Plan Healthy Streets approach. The inclusion of additional commercial floorspace will help revitalise the area and support the growing population which is set to come forward through redevelopment.
The existing Locally Significant Industrial Sites will be subject to masterplanning with a view to its regeneration to re-provide updated industrial floorspace that meets employers existing and future needs, through co-location with other uses.
Burnt Oak/ Colindale Growth Area will deliver over 2,100 new homes to 2041, supported by social and physical infrastructure to include:
- Improvements to the quality and accessibility of existing local open spaces
- A series of play areas within new developments and open space, including a 0.2ha pocket park, and improvements to existing open space
- The creation of informal recreation and good quality public realm
- Improved cycle infrastructure along the A5
