KS4: 40 Muswell Hill Road

Any allocation of, or development on, the land identified at 40 Muswell Hill with a residential-led mixed use development will be supported provided any proposal is in line with the following principles:

  1. The development contributes towards meeting local housing need, in line with policies elsewhere in this Plan (see SC1);
  2. There should be no net loss of employment on site;
  3. Any new development should not have an adverse impact on the amenity, including views to the woods, of the neighbouring residential uses, either as a result of operations on the land or by its scale;
  4. The form, height, massing and design of any development on site should preserve or enhance the appearance of the Conservation Area and the adjacent woods. This should include high quality design and materials. New development should make use of the relief/topography of the land and adopt appropriate heights having regard to the 2015 Urban Character Study to ensure that the built form is not overbearing in nature;
  5. Any development must have regard to the site’s context, surrounding woodland and its ecology. To the extent any part of the site is Metropolitan SINC Protected Land has tree cover, careful consideration to any removal of trees must be given;
  6. Any development scheme should make the most of opportunities presented by the presence of local green infrastructure through the provision of views into the adjacent woods from within the site as well as heightened connectivity between the woods and Highgate Station.
