NC Policy 27 Green Lanes (Site 15)
The site at the northern extents of the Green Lanes Large Local Centre is partly in flood zone 2/3 however, it still provides an opportunity to establish a more distinct relationship between the Palmers Green District Centre and the Green Lanes Large Local Centre. The Council will therefore steer development towards the area of lowest risk and take a flexible approach to proposed ground floor uses on sites in this location. Key principles relevant to the redevelopment of these sites indude:
- New development will present a strong and active built edge to Green Lanes with windows and doors addressing the street directly.
- Entirely residential schemes may be considered appropriate where they are of sufficiently high quality in terms of their design and materials.
- New buildings in this location should respect local townscape character and in doing so be approximately three or four storeys in height.
- New development opportunities will be expected to respond to the transitional nature of this active corridor.
Green Lanes in this location no longer operates as a local high street. Whilst commercial ground Boor uses may be appropriate. such uses are not considered a requirement in this location. Emphasis will be placed on the quality of the design and importance of delivering a building which addresses the street in an appropriate manner.
