KS1: 460-470 Archway Road

Any allocation or redevelopment of land to the north of Archway Road, comprising the properties at 460-470 Archway Road with a residential and employment mixed use development will be supported, provided any proposal is in line with the following principles:

  1. The residential element of the development contributes towards local housing need, in line with policies elsewhere in this Plan (see SC1);
  2. The arrangement of the site ensures that the residential element is located and screened in such a way that it protects future residents from excessive levels of noise pollution from both surrounding uses and future uses on site;
  3. Building heights respect the scale, appearance and character of the surrounding conservation area (as further reflected in the 2015 Highgate Urban Character Study) and the adjacent Highgate Wood, while seeking to utilise the relief of the land to maximise the capacity of the site, without resulting in a scheme of development that is overbearing or impacts negatively on the views from the adjoining woods;
  4. Subject to agreement with TfL and wherever possible, an additional vehicular access is provided onto Archway Road that allows for greater levels of pedestrian access to the Wellington Roundabout;
  5. The site includes enhanced levels of permeability for pedestrians and cyclists;
  6. The design and siting of the development should preserve and enhance the appearance of the Conservation Area; and
  7. Any development does not adversely impact on the ecological value of Highgate Wood.
  8. Development should not adversely affect the operation of the London Underground air shaft or TfL Freehold land on the site, or prevent access to the Highgate Depot.
