DM36: Broad Green and Selhurst

DM36.1:

Within the Broad Green Local Centre, to ensure that proposals positively enhance and strengthen the character of Broad Green Local Centre, and facilitate growth, developments should:

  • Sympathetically relate to the predominant building massing within the Local Centre boundaries;
  • Positively reference, respect and enhance architectural features such as the consistent rhythm and articulation of windows and doors;
  • Complement the existing predominant building heights of 2 storeys up to a maximum of 4 storeys; and
  • Incorporate multi-stock brick as the predominant facing materials of the whole building.

DM36.2:

Within the area of the potential new Local Centre at Valley Park, to ensure development opportunities including public realm improvements are undertaken in a cohesive and coordinated manner and that they result in the creation of a Local Centre with a sense of place and distinct character, a masterplan with elements of design code will be developed.

DM36.3:

In the area of the Lombard Roundabout, to facilitate growth and to enhance the distinctive character of the Lombard Roundabout Area proposals should:

  • Complement the existing predominant building heights of 3 storeys up to a maximum of 6 storeys;
  • Create a sense of continuity by setting back buildings from the street and create building lines and frontages which positively reference and respond to the junction;
  • Address the deficiency in green infrastructure within the area by incorporating tree planting and greenery within the development; and
  • Retain the extent and enhance the quality of the existing public realm within the development, including introducing large trees and other vegetation to balance the impact of large or tall buildings.

In the area north of Broad Green Local Centre, to ensure that proposals enhance and strengthen the character of the area north of the Broad Green Local Centre, and facilitate growth, developments should:

  • Retain and create glimpses and separation distances between buildings in order to improve the openness of London Road;
  • Incorporate main pedestrian entrances onto London Road;
  • Complement the existing predominant building heights of 3 storeys up to a maximum of 8 storeys; and
  • Retain the extent and enhance the quality of the existing public realm within the development, including introducing large trees and other vegetation to balance the impact of large and tall buildings.

DM36.5:

In the area of the junction of Windmill Road and Whitehorse Road, to create a sense of place of this area proposals should:

  • Create building lines and frontages which positively reinforce and respond to the form of the junction;
  • Use tree planting to reinforce the street alignment; and
  • Complement the existing massing of the immediate area around the Windmill/Whitehorse Road Junction, by ensuring that the overall height of the building does not exceed 5 storeys; or complement the existing predominant building heights of 2 storeys up to a maximum height of 3 storeys; or ensure the ridge line is no taller than those adjacent to it.

Within Broad Green and Selhurst allocate sites for development as set out in Table 11.4.
