Accommodation
Planning
Bexley Planners have indicated that the site provides an excellent redevelopment opportunity and could support a mixed use scheme of up to six storeys in certain locations where appropriate together with potential underground parking/servicing. As part of the council’s long term plans for the town centre, retail, leisure and/or office uses at ground floor which provide an active frontage, particularly on Albion Road, would be favoured. Above ground floor a hotel, offices, and/or residential use would be considered appropriate. Residential units could alternatively be provided in a mews or town house configuration on part of the site with non residential active frontage in key locations.
The Council considers a high quality design approach will be essential resulting in a well integrated and legible development offering a pleasant, safe and accessible environment for users and occupiers. Integration with the existing Broadway shopping frontage will be sought, ideally through the establishment of a north, south link utilising existing gaps in the shopping frontage. Regard should also be had to the potential redevelopment of adjacent sites in the longer term as set out in the Council's document, the Bexleyheath Development and Improvement Framework.
In this regard, preliminary discussions with Bexley Council indicate that a comprehensive redevelopment of this site with the Council owned adjoining surface car park site would be welcomed, subject to Formal Planning Permission being granted. Any redevelopment of the car park will need to ensure that adequate public parking remains available in this part of the town centre. This could be achieved through a range of measures including the retention of some public parking on site, the re-provision of public parking elsewhere on the development and the improvement of other parking facilities in the town centre.
The Council’s detailed response to a written planning enquiry will be made available on request.
