The London Plan July 2011 – RTF version Subject to office demand, a potential Strategic Outer London Development Centre (see Policy 2.16). Brent Cross /Cricklewood also has significant potential for wider economic development, new housing and regeneration, capitalising on public transport improvements including Thameslink and the Northern Line upgrade. The Area combines former railway lands and the wider hinterland surrounding Brent Cross regional shopping centre across the A406 North Circular Road. Brent Cross is to be redeveloped to become a town centre complementing the roles of other centres nearby and with an extended mix of town centre activities. This should include a significant increase in new housing together with local ancillary services. A rail station on the Cricklewood site is proposed and new development should be phased with improvements to public transport and accessibility. A site for a major waste facility within the area will form a key role in North London Waste Strategy. There is significant potential for improvement to the public realm including restoration of the River Brent. 6 Croydon Area (Ha): 173 Indicative employment capacity: 7,500 Minimum new homes: 10,000 OAPF progress: 1 One of the potential Strategic Outer London Development Centres, Croydon is also recognised as London’s largest ‘Metropolitan’ town centre and one of the capital’s two strategic office centres outside central London. The council’s strategy will need to be built upon to re-brand the offer of Croydon to meet modern commercial needs, realising its competitive advantages and good public transport accessibility. This will entail consolidating its strengths as a strategic office location through mixed-use re-development and enhancements to the business environment. A carefully managed balance must be struck between modernising office provision and encouraging the conversion of surplus capacity to other uses including a significant increment to housing. An integrated approach to a number of sites will be needed, including East Croydon station, Fairfield Halls, Croydon College, Park Place and the Whitgift extension. Rejuvenation of the mix and vitality of supporting uses, enhancement of the environment and improvements to traffic management will help support redevelopment. 7 Deptford Creek/ Greenwich Riverside Area (Ha): 165 Indicative employment capacity: 4,000 Minimum new homes: 5,000 OAPF progress: 1 The Area should benefit major concentrations of deprived neighbourhoods across the two boroughs and capitalise on its waterside and heritage character. Subject to resolution of wharf related issues, parts of Convoys Wharf should be developed for a range of uses. The Area as a whole has potential for a cultural quarter, for smaller scale leisure and tourism-related provision, business workspaces and additional housing. East-west connections across Deptford Creek should be addressed. 8 Earls Court & West Kensington Area (Ha): 36 Indicative employment capacity: 7,000 Page 260 of 310
The London Plan July 2011 – RTF version Minimum new homes: 4,000 OAPF progress: 2 The Area presents a significant opportunity for regeneration comprising estate renewal and housing and employment growth. A comprehensive approach should be taken to planning the future of the exhibition complex, the Transport for London Lillie Bridge Road depot, the local authority housing estates and other sites in the vicinity. The potential for a strategic leisure, cultural and visitor attraction and strategically significant offices should be explored together with retail, hotels and supporting social infrastructure. The Mayor is working with the boroughs and landowners to develop a planning framework for the area. This, informed by a transport study, will determine the optimum development capacity for the area which is likely to be significantly higher than the minimum figures shown here. Earls Court has good public transport facilities and these should be further enhanced, together with comprehensive highway and streetscape improvements. Earls Court already benefits from a strong identity, distinctive townscape and a range of heritage assets, all of which should be upheld and promoted through the regeneration and growth of the area. 9 Elephant & Castle Area (Ha): 88 Indicative employment capacity: 5,000 Minimum new homes: 4,000 OAPF progress: 4 The Area is undergoing major transformation with significant investment in housing and potential for new retail provision integrated with a more efficient and attractive transport interchange. There is scope to create a series of connected public open spaces complemented by environmental and traffic management improvements. Resolution of these and rail related issues are crucial to the successful redevelopment of this southern gateway to central London. 10 Euston Area (Ha): 16 Indicative employment capacity: 5,000 Minimum new homes: 1,000 OAPF progress: 1 Euston is a major national and commuter rail terminal possessing good bus and underground links to the rest of the Central Activities Zone. The station airspace and adjacent areas are underused and have potential for intensification. There is scope to re-configure Euston Square Gardens and the bus station to enhance this space and the transport interchange and also to develop the relationship with the adjacent university quarter. 11 Greenwich Peninsula Area (Ha): 259 Indicative employment capacity: 7,000 Minimum new homes: 13,500 OAPF progress: 3 The Peninsula plays two key strategic roles, as an internationally significant leisure attraction and as a major contributor to meeting London’s need for additional housing. The main focus of commercial development is at the north of the peninsula around the O2 Centre and the Jubilee Line station. Page 261 of 310
