EP H2 Street Network
- Nelson Grove Road and Pincott Road provide an appropriate basis for the design of the new street network and should form the basis of the main pedestrian and cycle routes into, out of and through the estate. The extension of Nelson Grove Road from Abbey Road in the east to Morden Road in the west will help provide an east to west link, and should aim to have clear views along substantial sections and, ideally, its whole length.
- The position of the historic street of High Path should be retained and the road should allow for improved accessibility from High Path to Nelson Gardens. The street should also respect the setting of St John’s the Divine Church.
- Hayward Close, which complements the historic street pattern with its attractive tree-lined character must be retained.
- Increased accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists must be designed into the street network.
- Provisions for future extensions of the north-south streets ending at High Path southwards towards to Merantun Way should be explored, subject to TfL’s support.
