SFRRA1 IMPERIAL GASWORKS NATIONAL GRID
The council supports comprehensive residential-led development of the site with supporting community facilities and open space. Development proposals for this site should:
- be predominantly residential with supporting social, physical, environmental and transport infrastructure;
- provide for a link road through the site connecting Imperial Road through to the New Kings Road together with a network of pedestrian and cycle connections;
- aim to provide a pedestrian access under the West London Line at the southern end of the site connecting to Lots Road;
- provide an area of public open space to support the needs of the development and contribute to reducing open space deficiency in the area;
- be of high quality design which respects the character and appearance of the Imperial Square and Gasworks Conservation Area and protects the Grade II Listed Gasholder and its setting and other heritage assets in the surrounding townscape;
- ensure building height and massing has an acceptable impact on the skyline and views from and to the riverside and waterways and heritage assets in the area, and contributes positively to the surrounding townscape context; and
- ensure any remaining gas operations that may be required are designed in such a way to ensure that that may be required health and safety requirements are met and integrated into the high quality design for the area with minimal impact.
