5.2 Enhancing Cheam's Urban Realm

interior quality

Context

The 1960â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concrete building located on the eastern corner of the Queen Victoria junction is a potential candidate for redevelopment considering its prominent location and potential to improve the legibility and attractiveness of the area. This site could be an important gateway site given its crossroads location and should emphasise the urban structure of its location. London Borough of Sutton - Tall Building Study: Gillespies. 2008.

Historical context London Road follows the line of a Roman Road (Stane Street) that connects London and Chichester.

c.1910 Picture of Lower Cheam Farm on Cheam Common Road, grew mostly mint and lavender, giving Lavender Corner its name.

1920 Queen Victoria Pub timber construction

1935 replaced by a bigger Queen Victoria Pub often used as a jazz club.

1965 Modernist avant-garde style concrete building. Multipurpose design; combining a shopping centre, office block and car park. It is now derelict after being left empty since 2006.

1. Massing - Building steps and upper floors set back so that lower floors reflect adjacent building heights.

1. Massing - Maintain â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;gapâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to maximise sunlight and create an active an enlivened rear courtyard.

2. Urban Realm and Neighbourhood The South, West and East corners are lined with many local, independent shops alongside a few restaurants, a bank and the local Post Office.

North Cheam Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market held on the third Saturday of each month organised by Ecolocal and started as part of the Outer London Fund. Current market located outside Post Office, Lavender Corner 9am - 1.30pm

North Cheam Crossroads

2. Urban Realm and Neighbourhood - Public space radiates from each block - Building and public realm acts as a continuation of the street as it leads around the corner. - Emphasises the spatial quality of the corner.

2. Urban Realm and Neighbourhood - Green area encloses the extent of the public area; therefore, creates a separation from the road. - Forms a space sheltered from wind and noise. - Edges better defined through tree planting.

2. Urban Realm and Neighbourhood - Lavender beds. - Lavender planted around green area. - Historic connection to Lavender Corner.

2. Urban Realm and Neighbourhood - Shopfronts - Shops on ground floor integrate with existing pattern of local street.

2. Urban Realm and Neighbourhood

3. Transport - Access relocated to allow continuation of public realm around the corner. - Safer configuration. - Access and egress arrangement maintained.
