19.2 Brimsdown Station Area - Long Term
If the level crossing is closed as a result of West Anglia Mainline Enhancements it will change the area very signifi cantly. The increased frequency of trains will make the area more attractive to commuters, and so potentially have a positive impact on employment development. There is an opportunity to create a strong ‘gateway’ to Brimsdown Industrial Estate through employment-led development to the east of the station by:
- reconfiguring / redeveloping the existing employment area with high quality buildings to create positive frontages onto Mollison Avenue and an attractive street on Jute Lane, with a connection through to Dundee Way;
- reclaiming highway land to create a landmark building on the north side of Green Street, overlooking and defi ning a reconfi gured left-in, left out junction onto Mollison Avenue;
- creating shared surface station squares either side of the railway line incorporating an improved pedestrian/cycle crossing - this could be an improved underpass or a new bridge; and
- developing a new station building in a more prominent position fronting onto the shared surface square.
The area to the west of the railway line should be improved in a similar way to as set out in Policy 19.1, that is the scheme should include:
- comprehensive de-cluttering and tidy-up of the street by rationalising signage, road markings and street furniture;
- improvements to the public realm and shopfronts on Green Street leading up to the station; and
- improvements to the bus terminus on Green Street, including removing overgrown vegetation, improving bus shelters and complementing the station signage / public art through a similar approach to mark the bus terminus
The Council will produce a Planning Brief for the area incorporating the above principles.
