NC Policy 19 Bowes Road Neighbourhood Place

Key principles that will guide change in the Bowes Road neighbourhood place are as follows:

  • Development sites - the following development sites are identified which have the scope to deliver a mix of uses including new high quality housing, employment uses, community facilities and a limited amount of new retail.
    • Telford Rood sites;
    • Telford Road/Bowes Road corner sites
    • Bowes Road/Wilmer Way sites
    • Ritz Parade sites
    • Bowes Road sites

Across these sites there is potential for approximately 250 additional new dwellings, with some scope for new commercial/retail floorspace and community facilities.

  • Townscape - the area is characterised by predominantly two storey traditional/ street based housing neighbourhoods. The transition into and beyond the area is marked by Iwo threshold points at the A406 Telford Road/Bowes Road and the Bowes Road/Green Lanes junctions.
  • Activities - developments will generally be housing led with scope for mixed used development within identified commercial centres and at key nodes/thresholds.
  • Public realm and open space - the priority will be to improve access to and the quality of the existing network of waterways. Development in areas of open space deficiency will be required to contribute towards the improvement of existing open space. Providing access to and improving the quality of spaces along Pymmes Brook and the New River corridor are considered o priority in this regard.
  • Infrastructure - the significant planned residential growth in this area must be supported by appropriate contributions to the provision of community infrastructure in accordance with NC Policy 3 above.

Where appropriate. this general policy should be read in coniunction with more specific policies for larger/more significant development sites within the Bowes Road neighbourhood place.

The guidance contained within these principles respond directly to the analysts presented in the Environmental Context section (Section 4).
