SHX3 - 46-48 Eagle Wharf Road, Hackney, London, N1 7ED

Allocation: Commercial led development with adjoining Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) site to accommodate Crossrail 2 ventilation shaft

Development Principles: The site currently contains a double-height single storey B8 storage warehouse. There is potential for intensification of the site, along with the adjoining MOLA storage site, to accommodate an employment led development with replacement B8 uses, Crossrail 2 ventilation shaft and associated enabling development. A net loss of B8 floorspace may be necessary to support the delivery of the Crossrail 2 ventilation shaft and will only be acceptable in these circumstances. The site is suitable for employment development (including ventilation shaft) or employment-led mixed-use development (incorporating a ventilation shaft) with residential and maximising the delivery of genuinely affordable new homes. A public route through to (and along) Regents Canal should be provided.

Indicative Capacity:

Option 1 – Employment only scheme 20,000 sqm of Employment floorspace and ventilation shaft

Option 2 – Employment led mixed use scheme 110 Residential units and 12,100sqm of commercial floorspace and ventilation shaft
