The application involves the addition of aproximately 1,970 sqm (gross internal area) to the existing Children's Services Building run by Islington Council, this will create a total area of 2,846 sqm (gross internal area) of accommodation. As a result of this development, the number of employees working at the site will increase from 31 to approximately 178 staff. In addition, there will be a corresponding increase in the number of visitors to the site including the Service Users and Other Agencies such as the Police and NHS staff. SITE LOCATION AND TRANSPORT LINKS The site is in Highbury, in the north of the London Borough of Islington, close to the boundaries with the London Boroughs of Haringey and Hackney which are located to the north and east respectively. The site is located in a residential street that has a mixture of private and socially rented properties. The site has very good public transport links with Arsenal Underground Station only 5 minutes walk to the west and two bus stops serving three bus routes in the nearby Blackstock Road. The north-south thoroughfare of Blackstock Road (A1201) lies immediately to the east, and to the west, beyond the Arsenal FC Emirates Stadium, lies the main north-south artery of Holloway Road (A1). Immediately to the west of the site is St John’s Church of England Primary School, whose playground is adjacent to the eastern boundary of the site. The majoity of traffic serving this school is on Conewood Street, as such, the School currently has a negligable impact on the Elwood Street site. The site has frontages to Elwood Street to the north and to Conewood Street to the south - with the main entrance on Elwood Street, beyond a small car park.
