PP5 Enhanced Corridors

Strategic Principles

Where appropriate development should:

Urban Corridors

  • Improve the distinction between town centres and surrounding areas.
  • Create and enhance local character and distinctiveness, provide new homes and commercial opportunities, and provide community infrastructure.
  • Improve air quality along these routes by minimising car use, enabling walking and cycling and reducing pollution through tree planting.
  • Improve the corridors as places which make walking and cycling safer, healthier and more enjoyable options by reducing pollution and improving corridors as places to spend time.
  • Improve the character and attractiveness of corridors and consider them gateways to Hackney.

Lee Valley Corridor

  • Improve access to and across the Lee Valley Regional Park, and improve connections to Waltham Forest.
  • Create and enhance the special character of the area.
  • Create a higher quality edge to the Lee Valley by improving the routes which run along it, and improving the relationship of buildings to it.
  • Improve the Lea Bridge roundabout at Clapton as a priority residential, public realm and commercial opportunity area, and gateway to Hackney.
