NC Policy 2 New and Refurbished Homes

Identified sites within the North Circular AAP area have the potential to deliver approximately 1,400 new homes within the plan period to 2026. In addition to this, existing vacant housing along the North Circular corridor is currently being brought back into use. The sites identified and contributing to this housing delivery are as follows:

Redevelopment of the Ladderswood Estate and the National Grid and builders’ merchant site opposite present the most significant regeneration opportunity. However, the selective refurbishment and redevelopment of the string of sites either side of the North Circular Road will have an equally significant impact on the area as a whole. The AAP, in bringing these sites forward, will finally be able to address directly the blight created from the uncertainty over the road improvements. Other significant sites with potential to contribute to the regeneration of the area include the land around Arnos Grove Station. However, TfL are currently considering the redevelopment of these sites given their current use in providing popular commuter parking. The Southgate Town Hall site also provides an opportunity for investment, including the provision of an upgraded library with additional community facilities alongside a new high quality housing development that helps to address local housing needs. The Council is actively progressing this opportunity.
