EL10 Urban Grain at Meridian Water
Development proposals must respond to the need for comprehensive, integrated regeneration across the whole of Meridian Water and the surrounding area.
Development proposals are expected to:
- Maximise opportunities for intensification and making most efficient use of land;
- Develop a hierarchy-based network of streets and eliminate existing surface car parking (with the exception of on-street and blue-badge parking);
- Provide a sense of space and enclosure, particularly at key locations and routes such as the railway station, the Central Spine, and along the River Lee Navigation;
- Enable distinctive place making by utilising the waterways as a defining feature of developments and ensure active frontages facing onto the River Lee Navigation;
- Consider the innovative use of historical and industrial assets;
- Have block frontages of no more than 80 metres in length, limited by spaces and routes for public access;
- Clearly define the relationship between public and private uses;
- At ground floor level provide an attractive and active frontage to the street, road or other publicly accessible area;
- Integrate with adjoining uses both within and outside the Meridian Water development area; and
- Orientate building heights and layouts to take advantage of views along the Lee Valley.
This policy should be read in conjunction with Core Strategy policies 30, 37 and 38 and DMD policies 37, 38, 39, 40, and 42.
