HC11 Travis Perkins, 111 Dalston Lane

Allocation: Employment-led mixed-use development

Development Principles:

The site comprises a builder’s merchant with ancillary retail facing Dalston Lane. Existing buildings are one and two storeys and the rest of the operation is external. The historic house surrounded by the site is prominent because of the low-rise surroundings. Adjacent to the site is a residential tower which somewhat detracts from the setting of the house.

There is opportunity for an employment-led development including retention of the storage, light industrial/ commercial mix with residential, including maximising the delivery of genuinely affordable homes.

The historic house should be given ample space. The land to the east of the house and the backdrop of the house should remain unbuilt. The front garden of the house should be restored to original proportions. The site has development potential on the Dalston Lane frontage, where ancillary retail should be retained. There is also potential to the west and north-west of the site, and adjacent to the neighbouring tower where development could help mediate between scales. The historic plot grain and commercial building frontage position should be maintained on Dalston Lane.

Indicative Capacity: 40 residential units and provision of industrial/warehouse floorspace.
