NC Policy 21 Telford Road/Bowes Road Corner Sites (Site 10)

This is a key junction and point of transition along the North Circular Road. New development should help define and enclose this junction. Key principles to be taken into account in new development proposals include:

  • New housing development providing o range of dwelling types with the opportunity for some houses at the rear and apartments on the main road frontage.
  • High quality new development of up to 5 storeys in height which directly addresses the main road is considered appropriate.
  • On the land away from the central corner area and to the rear particular care is required to ensure the amenities of existing residents are protected. Three storey residential development would be more appropriate in these locations.
  • The design of new housing development must respond to townscape, views, approach from all directions given the exposed and prominent nature of this site.
  • In view of the traffic dominated environment around this junction and the new pedestrian bridge, the pedestrian environment is particularly important. Boundary treatments has a direct bearing on the pedestrian environment and care should be token to ensure pedestrians feel safe and comfortable in this area.
  • The design of and landscaping associated with new development should incorporate measures to mitigate against noise and air pollution.

This Is an Important and prominent comer site along the North Circular Road corridor. It has frontages to Pevensey Avenue. Telford Road/Bowes Road and Olerton Road and the relationship between new development and the established residential environment around n is therefore of particular Importance. Hanover. the NCAAP recognises that this is a major junction and acts as a transition point or node between two parts of the A406. The junction has itly been imps:wed. traffic capacity Increased and the new pedestrian footbridge is now a prominent local feature. The environment. as the A406. A1110 Bones Road and the B1452 Wilmer Way come together. is not one considered best suited for standard houses. New residential development should provide a strong built edge to this junction. with buildings adding activity and movement to the pavements. New development on the identified sites also has scope to improve conditions for existing local residents by reducing the negative impacts of this mayor road junction. However. the scale and foam of new development as it abuts and addresses existing dwellings will be an important consideration m development proposals for this area.
