Twickenham Area Action Plan Twickenham Police Station
Aims - to protect this Building of Townscape Merit and ensure an appropriate use for the whole site in the event of any relocation. New use to improve the retail and business environment and to enhance the link between the station and the core of the town.
Uses - In the event of a satisfactory re-location of Police station uses, acceptable uses of the site would be for a mix of town centre uses to include retail or other active frontage on London Road, residential to rear, facing Grosvenor Road.
The Core Strategy, Development Management Plan, and the Design Quality SPD will all apply. In addition, the following guidance should also be followed:
- Creation of active frontage to London Road including new retail floorspace;
- Protection of that part which is a Building of Townscape Merit;
- Design of development to be sympathetic to the adjoining Conservation Area. Development to Grosvenor Road to reflect the scale and building lines and to minimise impacts on residential amenity in Grosvenor Road.
