NC Policy 20 Telford Road Sites (Site 9)
This is a small collection of already cleared housing opportunity sites with frontage to Telford Road. Key principles to be token into account in new development proposals include:
- Respecting the prevailing local character of the area.
- In so doing, building heights should not be higher than 3 to 4 storeys with the higher part of the building making use of the chonge of levels across the site and the opportunity to strengthen the turn of a street corner.
- Buildings should directly address Telford Road with doors and windows.
- Boundary treatment should be appropriate to the area and ensure there is a clear distinction between the public and private realms.
- Improving residential amenity - new infill development provides the opportunity to help mitigate the impacts of the North Circular Road on existing housing in adjacent streets.
These small sites are nestled within an established residential area with a strong prevailing sub-urban character. Responding posnnrely to that character and protecting the amenities of einsting bcal residents are the critical issues associated with progressing redevelopment proposals for these sites.
