HC13 Lower Clapton Health Centre

Allocation: Mixed-use community and residential

Development Principles:

The existing building is a two storey Health Clinic incorporating a GP surgery and facilities used by Homerton Trust. There is an opportunity for intensification of uses on the site for a residential-led mixed use development, reprovision of a health facility and maximising the delivery of genuinely affordable homes.

Any development on site should retain an element of community/leisure uses on the ground floor with a residential element on upper floors. Development should be responsive to the prevailing height, scale and character of the area which is within a conservation area. An indicative appropriate building height is in the region of 4 to 5 storeys. Opportunity should be taken to reinstate the street connection which historically ran through the centre of the site.

Indicative Capacity: 75 residential units and re-provided community D1 use
