There are no changes to the approved plans for the Town Square and trees on the site. The approved plans will provide an improved Town Square with landscaping, public art and a new children’s play area.

www.TheMallWalthamstowConsultation.co.uk DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS

The existing planning consent provides no direct resident access onto Selborne Road for the two residential blocks. These sit directly above the shopping centre with no active frontage.

The proposed design improvements will:

• Provide direct access to the residential blocks from Selborne Road, creating a more vibrant and active street scene • Reduce the massing of the residential blocks to create a more slender form, while still providing up to 460 apartments

The existing height parameters will not be exceeded.

PUBLIC SQUARE PUBLIC SQUARE

The design improvements mean the residential blocks will be constructed next to the retail space, not directly above it. This will allow the construction period to be shortened while significantly reducing disruption for local residents, businesses and shoppers.

www.TheMallWalthamstowConsultation.co.uk BUILD-TO-RENT

Build-to-rent is a growing sector in the housing market, addressing a local need for professionally-managed, quality rental housing.

These developments are built specifically for rent and are not for sale. The benefits they provide for residents include:

• A range of housing types, from one-bed flats to family homes • A lively and exciting community with shared amenity areas • Stability and certainty for residents through flexible tenancies

In Walthamstow, this will provide homes for people across a range of incomes, ages and household types, from young people looking to share, to key workers or those planning to downsize.

This development will include a provision of afordable homes at Discount Market Rent.

The Mall provides an excellent location for a build-to-rent development, as residents will benefit from good access to public transport, shops, restaurants and local and community services in Walthamstow Town Centre.

This scheme will provide: An inclusive community Designed to meet the needs of residents of all ages and occupations in Walthamstow.

High quality service A dedicated-on site team will provide round the clock maintenance and security.

Flexibility Tenants always have transparent pricing with no hidden charges and can take flexible tenancies to fit their circumstances.

www.TheMallWalthamstowConsultation.co.uk WALTHAMSTOW CENTRAL UNDERGROUND STATION

Walthamstow Central underground station is nearing capacity.

Approximately 9,000 passengers enter or exit the station at peak times and Walthamstow Bus Station is the third busiest in London.

Transport for London (TfL) anticipates that these numbers will grow by another 30% by 2031.

Transport for London, Capital & Regional and Waltham Forest Council have worked together at looking at improving transport options as a result of the extension of The Mall.

TfL will be submitting a full planning application to take advantage of the opportunity presented by the construction work that will take place to build this new development.

TfL will be seeking permission to future proof a new entrance and ticket hall that will allow step-free access to the Victoria line from an entrance integrated into The Mall.

www.TheMallWalthamstowConsultation.co.uk NEW STATION ENTRANCE AND CUSTOMER JOURNEY IMPROVEMENTS

An additional entrance for Walthamstow Central station will be integrated with The Mall extension.

This will provide step-free access to the Victoria line from the improved Town Square.
