PP10 Homerton

Strategic Principles

Where appropriate development should:

  • Improve the character of Homerton High Street by introducing more active street frontage.
  • Diversify the uses accommodated on Homerton High Street by introducing mixed-use developments with commercial units at ground floor.
  • Improve the experience of walking and cycling by widening pavements, introducing dedicated cycle lanes and creating public open spaces.
  • Enhance the setting of heritage assets. New buildings should respect the historic grain and building line of the street.
  • Enhance the historic core of Homerton High Street around the church by repairing the urban fabric, improving the setting of historic buildings and reconsidering the existing public realm.
  • Consolidate and enhance the green spaces between Homerton Hospital and Saint Barnabas Church to create a more substantial public space.
  • Improve the character of links between Chatsworth Road and Hackney Central. Homerton Grove should be improved as an actively fronted, pedestrian and cycle friendly street.
  • Improve the continuity between Chatsworth Road and Homerton High Street by introducing active street frontage and improving public realm.
  • Work to remove the gyratory around Wardle Street and Saint Barnabas Terrace and re-imagine Saint Barnabas Terrace as a pedestrian public space.
  • Create a better balance between green assets and active street frontage on Homerton High Street.
