6.2 Improving the Great Cambridge Road and Martinbridge Trading Estate

Part A: The Great Cambridge Road and Martinbridge Trading Estate is the only Industrial Business Park in NEE. Proposals falling within the IBP will need to demonstrate compliance with the relevant London Plan and Enfield’s Local Plan policies. Other uses will only be permitted in accordance with specific policies within the AAP, or where they would be ancillary and complementary to the overall operation of the IBP.

Part B: Redevelopment of existing buildings or new development is required to support the Estate’s role in providing high quality surroundings by:

  • encouraging high quality employment uses that fit with its role as an Industrial Business Park (IBP);
  • creating positive frontages onto the public realm, particularly along Baird Road and Crown Road (see Policy 6.3);
  • improving the gateways to the Estate along Southbury Road and Lincoln Road;
  • creating a high quality public realm to a consistent standard across the Estate, refl ecting the high quality of recent development in the south of the Estate;
  • reconfiguring car parking to provide efficient layouts that direct car users away from parking on street;
  • improving circulation on internal estate roads, particularly for large vehicles; and
  • ensuring that any trade counter uses supports the overall function and quality of the IBP

Part C: Consistent and high quality design including measures to minimise energy use will be sought for all new development. The scale, height, massing, form and materials of new buildings must be compatible with surrounding buildings and with the landscape setting of the IBP. New signage, street furniture and lighting will be expected to comply with the specifications and principles set out in the emerging Enfield Design Guide.
