Site Location & Context
The site currently being considered is shown on the map below.
The site is roughly L-shaped and situated between existing terraced houses along Alderbrook Road and largely flatted development along Clarence Mews. The site lies to the west of Meyer House, Hales House and Graham House, which form part of the current Balham Hill Estate. Currently, it includes a tarmacked area, open green space and a communal bin and bike storage area.
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 sites and in the surrounding area, we have included a series of photographs from within and around the sites below:
Our Emerging Ideas for Balham Hill West
We have started to identify site opportunities and constraints to help shape our plans going forwards. 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
- Potential for overlooking from existing homes
- Sloping ground with level differences up to 4m across the site from north to south
- Hard boundary to the north and west against existing buildings and gardens
- One-way road system on site
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
Please let us know what you think by clicking on the have your say page.
Key Considerations
New high quality council rent homes built to high energy standards
Improve security within Balham Hill West Estate
Introduce new landscape elements to improve public amenity space
Minimising tree loss
Limited impact on neighbouring properties
One-way road system
