17.1 Enfield Lock Station Area - Short Term
The Council will develop a comprehensive street design scheme which - through public realm enhancements - helps to enhance local distinctiveness, support Local Centre activity and contribute to an improved sense of security whilst still providing for traffic movements. This scheme should include:
- comprehensive de-cluttering and tidy-up of the street by rationalising signage, road markings and street furniture;
- low key public realm improvements to the area between Tysoe Avenue in the east and Manly Dixon Drive in the west to visually tie the area together and distinguish it from the rest of Ordnance Road;
- within the overall low-key public realm improvements, creating three strong focal points: at the eastern and western gateways and at the station itself. Create a pocket park at the eastern gateway; and
- improvements to the existing underpass - e.g. improving lighting, removing some of the fenced-off clutter from around it where possible.
The Council will encourage redevelopment of land to the rear of the Railway Inn for residential or mixed-use development, so creating a higher quality approach to the station along Bradley Road.
The Council will encourage redevelopment of the site to the west of the railway line to create a positive frontage onto Ordnance Road that helps signal the station.
