Assael’s design for Site 1 of Paddington scheme submitted for planning
Amwaj Property Limited has submit- ted a planning application for Site 1 of Assael’s emerging masterplan for North Wharf Gardens in Paddington. The £70 million mixed-use scheme, will deliver 150 new residential apart- ments as well as retail, business, social and community space and an improved public realm. The overall masterplan covers 1.48
hectares in Paddington, on the site of the former North Westminster Community School, within the City of Westminster. Subject to consent, Site 1 will start on site in 2013, with comple- tion due in 2015. The first phase will include the
widening and public realm improve- ment of Hermitage Street for two way traffic and the development of a number of buildings ranging between 11 and 15 storeys in height. This will consist predominantly of residential accommodation, as well as 1,250m2 community space, 560m2
of of retail space
and a gym. Public realm and open space is integrated into the design and will comprise soft green spaces broken up by hard landscaping, play areas, seating areas and open grassland. Private amenity space for residents will include balconies and roof terraces. The residential units will be designed
to meet Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4 and other uses will be rated BREEAM Excellent.
The theme of connectivity runs
throughout the scheme’s design to create a vibrant development that responds to and ties in with its area. Russell Pedley director of Assael said: “The masterplan for this site creates a new residential quarter for Paddington Basin and completes the regeneration of the area. It is designed to be cultur- ally rich and provide a mix of spaces to complement the needs of the Basin and the local area. Crucially, particular emphasis has been placed on public spaces, and pedestrian routes run through and around the site. To inte- grate it with its surroundings the main focus will be a new landscaped garden accessible to residents and workers in the neighbourhood and beyond.”
Hanover submits plans for the imaginative redevelopment of St Luke’s Hospital site
Following extensive local public con- sultation, including three public exhi- bitions and discussions with local residents and stakeholders, Hanover Housing Association has submitted a planning application to Haringey Council for 173 new homes on the 6-acre site of the former St Luke’s Hospital on Woodside Avenue, Muswell Hill. The Hanover proposals are for a development of high specification
homes influenced by the standards recommended by the HAPPI report – Housing our Ageing Population Panel for Innovation. They respect the existing mature
planting, the listed and locally listed buildings and the character of the conservation area. A key element of the project is the revitalisation of the garden landscape at the centre of the site.
