Twickenham Area Action Plan Regal House
Aims - to promote business and other uses within the building, which will maintain levels of employment and provide a range of uses for the local area, assisting with regeneration. Linking or extending towards London Road and providing an active frontage will create business/retail activity at ground floor level and fill in this “missing link” between the station and the town centre.
Uses - refurbished business space, use of part as possible cinema/leisure use, possible cultural/entertainment/food and beverage uses on lower floors to create active street frontage on London Road.
Design Guidance
The Core Strategy, Development Management Plan, Twickenham Station and Surroundings SPD and the Design Quality SPD will all apply. In addition, the following guidance should also be followed:
- Creation of active frontage to London Road through use of lower floors for cultural/entertainment/food and beverage and specialist retail;
- Improvements to interface between Regal House and hotel and London Road, including to railings;
- Public realm improvements on London Road and improved links to town centre and station.
