Following on from planning applications from Aurora Developments for their scheme at ‘North Kensington Gate’ proposals have emerged for a second major residential development on Scrubs Lane NW10.<\/p>\n

City and Docklands\u00a0<\/a>have exhibited initial plans for a site to be rebranded as Mitre Yard. \u00a0The site is that occupied by European Metals Recycling, just north of Mitre Bridge and the Grand Union Canal.<\/p>\n

The scheme is mainly residential, for private renting, with employment and retail space at ground floor level. \u00a0The architects are Make<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The interim neighbourhood forum will not be submitting its own comments on a planning application, or on pre-application proposals. \u00a0As with other applications, we will leave it to the existing residents associations in the area and other bodies (Canals and River Trust, Friends of Wormwood Scrubs) to make their views known.<\/p>\n

The proposed density is 400 housing units per hectare (as compared with 450 at North Kensington Gate). \u00a0This is classed as \u2018medium\u2019 density in terms of OPDC Draft Policy OSP4. \u00a0In terms of the London Plan Density Matrix it is at the top of the range, appropriate for \u2018Central\u2019 locations with the highest Public Transport Accessibility Levels (PTAL scores).<\/p>\n

As with North Kensington Gate, the developers are arguing that the location will ultimately achieve these high PTAL levels. \u00a0But until the HS2\/Crossrail interchange and a new Overground station at Hythe Road are open, Scrubs Lane has very poor public transport accessibility. \u00a0The scheme is proposed as ‘car-free’.<\/p>\n

The proposed scheme includes a residential tower (18-20 storeys) along with 6-8 storey blocks. \u00a0The tower is placed at the northern part of the site, furthest from the canal.<\/p>\n

A planning application for the Mitre Yard scheme is expected to be submitted in early 2017. \u00a0Pre-application discussions with OPDC planners are in progress.<\/p>\n
