PP8 Shoreditch and Hoxton

Strategic Principles

Where appropriate development should:

  • Intensify the use of land to optimise the capacity of Shoreditch to accommodate homes, workplaces, cultural and creative uses without compromising its special character.
  • Within Shoreditch, ensure that land uses are mixed to ensure a vibrant and dynamic economy.
  • Improve connections between the neighbourhoods of Shoreditch, Hoxton and Haggerston through improved wayfinding and pedestrian and cycle connections.
  • Improve the integration of residential areas in Hoxton and Haggerston with the CAZ and wider City Fringe by encouraging a mix of uses that will help soften the transition between residential and employment areas.
  • Create connections to existing green spaces and identify opportunities for the delivery of new high quality green space through new developments.
