Site Location & Context
The site currently being considered is shown on the map below.
The site is roughly rectangular in shape and situated between existing houses on Lynn Road and two blocks of flats within the Balham Hill Estate; Faraday House and Dalton House. Currently, the site includes a fenced tarmacked area, some parking spaces, a cul-de-sac access road and some open green space.
Our initial ideas for this site would involve the creation of high-quality housing and the enhancement of community amenity space. No existing homes would be demolished as part of the plans and all new homes would be for council rent.
Existing Site Photographs
To show the current uses on the site and in the surrounding area, we have included a series of photographs from within and around the site below:
Our Emerging Ideas for Balham Hill East
We have started to identify site opportunities and constraints to help shape our plans for Balham Hill East going forward. More information about the emerging proposals for each site will be made available on 2 May 2023.
Constraints
- A number of existing large mature trees on site
- Sloped ground level
- Hard boundary to the north, east and south against existing buildings and gardens
- Close proximity to existing homes
- Existing cul-de-sac road
- Adjacent to Conservation Area
Opportunities
- Potential to improve existing amenity space by introducing new landscape and play elements
- Potential to repurpose the existing tarmacked area
- Potential to complete the street scene and improve security
- Potential to rationalise parking and prioritise pedestrians
Key Considerations
New high quality council rent homes built to high energy standards
Improve security within Balham Hill East Estate
Rationalise parking and give priority to pedestrians
Introduce new landscape elements to improve public amenity space
Amenity space
Minimising tree loss
Design to respond to changes in site levels
Limited impact on neighbouring properties
One-way road system
Adjacent to London Underground line
We are currently at an early stage of considering ideas for this site and any future plans will be developed in response to feedback from the local community.
We will keep the local community updated as we move through the design process, but if you have any questions regarding these sites, please let us know using the details on the contact us section.
