NC Policy 16 Coppicewood Lodge Care Home Site (Site 6)
The site presents potential for mixed use development across a number of buildings. Taking full account of the guidance contained in the New Southgate Masterplan, new development should take account of the following:
- New development should include a mix of uses including residential development and community uses. A limited amount of ancillary retail floorspace which addresses Bowes Road may also be considered appropriate.
- Redevelopment of the site should deliver a new pedestrian route between Bowes Road and Grove Road.
- Building heights of up to a maximum of 5 storeys, taking account of the setting of the former church building and the relationship with the houses to the east along Bowes Road and other dwellings in the area.
- Capacity for approximately 23 dwellings and 1,500sqm of community/retail Roorspace.
The New Southgate Masterplan confirms that the existing care home facility on the site is not fit for purpose and does not meet the standards of a modern care home and the site would become available if alternative accommodation is made available. Should the site come forward it is considered suitable for a range of community uses. In particular, the site is considered appropriate for a new health facility should the accommodation be required.
