PP7 Clapton and Lea Bridge Roundabout

Strategic Principles

Where appropriate development should:

  • Relocate bus stand and re-provide an enhanced stand / depot potentially taking capacity from Clapton bus depot (see Place Policy for Hackney Central).
  • Eliminate the severance between Upper and Lower Clapton and between the Lee Valley Park and Hackney
  • Improve air quality within this Air Quality Focus Area and create a child friendly environment.
  • Create a residential and commercial community focal point at Lea Bridge roundabout.
  • Create a cohesive improved public realm experience between Upper and Lower Clapton.
  • Create new green links connecting open spaces to Clapton station and a new civic heart.
  • Support Clapton Tram Depot as an employment and destination place.
