HC8 27-38 Well Street (Lidl)

Allocation: Mixed use retail and residential

Development Principles and Issues

There is potential for intensification of the site and introduction of other uses, mainly towards the Well Street frontage, including mixed use development above the existing store incorporating commercial and residential development, including the maximising the provision of genuinely affordable homes, with indicative appropriate building heights of 3-4 storeys. The existing quantum of retail floorspace must be retained.

Any new development must be in keeping with the scale of existing buildings to the east and west, and appropriate distances especially privacy, outlook and daylight/sunlight of existing occupiers maintained. The rear of the site adjoins the London College of Fashion Mare Street site, (site allocation HC7).

Indicative Capacity: 140 residential units and 4,700sqm of commercial floorspace
