CL1 Tram Depot, 38-40 Upper Clapton Road

Allocation: Employment or employment–led mixed-use including residential use.

Development Principles and Issues:

This allocation makes up the entire Prout Street PIA; as a result any redevelopment must re-provide the existing quantum of employment floorspace.New industrial uses are encouraged on the site.

38 - 40 Upper Clapton Road, also known as the Tram Depot, covers much of the site and is Locally Listed so should be retained and its setting enhanced.

The introduction of residential uses will only be acceptable if the existing industrial and employment floorspace is re-provided and the provision of genuinely affordable homes is maximised. The southern portion of the site, facing residential uses on Prout Road, may provide the best opportunity on the site for residential development.

The garages to the north of the site could provide an opportunity to extend a terrace and provide a new access route between Casimir Road and Cleveleys Road.

Indicative Capacity: 50 residential units and the intensification of industrial floorspace.
