Policy Map
from W19P313
by PDF Uploads
The Policy Map illustrates the ambitions of the new APP under four policy areas which were developed from the weaknesses of the previous APP. The policy areas focus on the existing assets in Colindale and Burnt Oak to contribute to a clearly defined vision. The policies and tools within this document will link Colindale to Burnt Oak through the utilisation of connected green spaces along the Silk Stream to provide a sustainable alternative to Edgware Road. The policies and tools will also create a distinctive character for Colindale, centred around a defined town centre for local retail to thrive.
The key to these policies’ success is through a unique mechanism in which two or more policies must be enacted on together to ensure the desired aims and outcomes.
E.g. to ensure the successful delivery of a transport policy an additional housing or green space policy may also have to be acted on to secure the effective delivery of proposals or policy objectives. It will be clearly stated in the policy where this is applicable.
Green Spaces
Create a green corridor of connected green spaces from Watling Park to Rushgrove Park, following the Silk Stream. These green spaces will be interlinked with new developments to create easily accessible outdoor spaces for residents to use and enjoy.
Neighbourhood Centres and High Streets
Clearly defined areas for high streets / town centres for both Colindale and Burnt Oak to enhance local businesses and services. Modelling much of Burnt Oak’s high street success for Colindale’s new high street.
Connections and Movements
Link Colindale, Bristol and Lanacre Avenue, where developments will add retail spaces to create new high streets which are more sustainably located near housing, compared to existing retail on Edgware Road. The Silk Stream will provide a linear cycle and pedestrian connection to link North London suburbs such as Colindale and Burnt Oak.
Housing
Allocated sites for new housing, largely taken from the previous AAP due to a the same housing unit growth aim of 10,000 units
