Vision

A short summary of the opportunities and potential benefits arising from future development of Site 19

The site presents a significant opportunity for local regeneration to provide new, high quality light industrial space appropriate for businesses in key Lambeth growth sectors such as the creative, digital and low carbon industries. This will add to the existing and growing clusters in these sectors elsewhere in West Norwood and provide for a significant uplift in local jobs and employment opportunities. In addition, the site can accommodate new housing and affordable housing close to existing residential neighbourhoods and near to West Norwood/Tulse Hill town centre. Improved pedestrian and cycle access to the town centre and new and inclusive areas of public realm will be essential to successful placemaking and improved connectivity, shortening journey times to the station for existing residents and promoting sustainable transport. Extensive urban greening and improvements to biodiversity value will enhance the existing network of green infrastructure in this part of the borough, and could contribute to opportunities for urban food growing.
