Description
The site is located 1.2 miles from Chadwell Heath Station (24-minute walk) PTAL 1b. Shared boundaries are with the Robert Clack Upper School playing fields to the east and south as well as end of terrace houses along Fambridge Road. Freehold sale available, subject to planning.
Important to note
- Flood Zone 1 (low-risk).
- Buildings on the site have the potential to support roosting bats.
- There is 1 non-designated heritage asset listed within the site.
Due to size and layout constraints more than 10 units on this site is considered highly unlikely, which is the minimum required for affordable housing to be delivered. Should a scheme trigger affordable housing, 50% is expected on public sector land. Tenure mixes are expected to be in line with the Planning Note provided.
Proposals should aim to be zero carbon in operation and are required to be designed in accordance with the London Plan’s energy hierarchy. A minimum 10% of carbon savings should come from energy efficiency measures
alone.
