HC14 164-170 Mare Street 

Allocation: Employment or employment-led mixed use, including re-provided community uses.

Development Principles:

There is potential to intensify the use of this site for employment or employment-led development incorporating residential, including maximising the provision of genuinely affordable new homes, and re-provision of the community use. The site lies within Mare Street Priority Office Area so any redevelopment should be for employment uses, or employment-led alongside community use. The existing buildings have limited architectural merit, however the site lies within Mare Street Conservation Area and 1-8 Pemberton Place which abuts the site are locally listed. Indicatively, heights should follow the prevailing context of 3-4 storeys.

There may be an opportunity for a larger comprehensive redevelopment scheme as two other potential sites - 182 Mare Street (London College of Fashion) and 27-38 Well Street (Lidl) - are in the immediate vicinity.

Indicative Capacity: 20 residential units and a minimum of 1,400sqm employment floorspace.
