Have your say on the draft Ash Grove SPD.

The Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) is a new piece of planning guidance to be read alongside the local plan 2033 (LP33).

A SPD will provide more detailed guidance to support planning policy. It cannot introduce new policies, but it’s taken into account in decisions made about planning applications.

The aim of the Ash Grove SPD will be to set out how we can use the TfL’s Ash Grove bus garage and Hackney Council owned transport depot at 40 to 43 Andrew Road to deliver:

  • new homes
  • workspace – including retail and office space
  • an electrified bus garage

See Hackney Central and surrounds masterplan supplementary planning document (2017).

 

Preparing the Ash Grove SPD

Preparing the supplementary planning document for the Ash Grove bus garage and 40 to 43 Andrews Road brings the following opportunities:

  • provides site specific guidance for the combined 40 to 43 Andrews Road and Ash Grove Bus Garage Site
  • the community shapes the site guidance
  • ensures best practice for co-locating residential and commercial uses with electric bus garage
  • delivers more homes in Hackney Central
  • understands and communicate specialist technical knowledge

Area the SPD covers

The SPD focuses on the site boundary of the HC10 – 40 to 43 Andrews Road and Ash Grove Bus Garage Site Allocation. However, it also includes suggested improvements to the immediate area surrounding the site.
