Current site activity Wholesale warehouse on the southern part of the site (Makro) and industrial use on the northern part of the site (Daytona) Centre of the site may be needed for CrossRail safeguarding

Current planning/development control status No relevant recent planning history

Relevant Policy Considerations LBE

Current transport issues On Main Distributor Route - Old Oak Lane - A4000 CrossRail Safe Guarding Land Site Within Parking Standards: Zone 1 On proposed and existing designated cycle routes Located on the London Walks River Brent Footpath route Within 10 min walking distance of Willesden Junction Within 100 - 200m of several bus stops serving 4 bus routes

CONSTRAINTS AND OPPORTUNITIES

Constraints Significant employment site Impact of CrossRail on ‘dividing’ the site into two Provision of major infrastructure (including transport) Deep site requiring new road layout and servicing

3 Site 16 Canal-side location Multiple ownership Junction improvements at Atlas Road An Environmental Statement and Traffic Impact Statement required Masterplan required with comprehensive development Noise and air quality management issues need to be considered MEL amenities for employees

Opportunities Range of employment uses including B1, B2, limited B8 and some A3 to service the site Masterplan site to ensure comprehensive redevelopment Potential for redevelopment of site in conjunction with CrossRail Contribution to transport improvement - possible alternative route to the Freightliner Terminal site to encourage industrial traffic away from residential streets Potential green space improvement to Canal corridor Improvements to cycle and pedestrian links General industrial uses (B2) and limited B1 uses such as industrial processing and research and development of products and processes Mixed unit sizes to allow for alternative end users Improved architectural quality/high quality materials

DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLES

Preferred Uses/Mix Potential for mixed industrial development Critical to establish need for CrossRail safeguarding in advance of development process

Urban Form Site will need to consider 2 options one with and one without safeguarding for CrossRail Site/block layout Development should create a central street with blocks facing onto the access road Provide a positive aspect onto the Canal, increasing informal surveillance of the cycle and pedestrian footpath Integrate CrossRail line into scheme Character General industrial estate with positive aspect onto the Grand Union Canal Potential to improve the character of this area

Access/Transport Opportunity for significant transport improvements owning to CrossRail Site adjoins cycle and pedestrian routes therefore potential improvement to these should be considered Potential area of parking restraint once transport improvements are secured; New servicing and road layouts required

4 Site 16 Public Open Space/Public Environment Potential green space improvement to Canal corridor Improvements to cycle and pedestrian links

Land Use development and Management Issues Multiple ownership
