7-19 Amhurst Road Planning Brief

Development of this site holds the potential to contribute towards achieving a sustainable town centre reflecting the proximity of the Hackney Central Station and the Clapton Square Conservation Area. The site is located within the Crossrail Line 2 safeguarded route which presents a key constraint to development. The planning brief is therefore considered important in identifying opportunities and constraint to creating an integrated, managed approach to developing the site and to be proactive in bringing the site into use.

The planning brief is consistent with and provides additional land-use and design guidance to the Hackney Unitary Development Plan, June 1995, and the London Plan, February 2004. The brief outlines planning guidance for landuse, transport, and urban design considerations of the site and seeks to be proactive in bringing the site into reuse, while providing a clear statement of acceptable landuse through consultation with the local community.
