Site Location & Context
Site E is located on Victoria Drive, in close proximity to Site D.
It is a small area of under-utilised green space that lies between two Swanton Gardens residential buildings. It is bounded by Victoria Drive to the west and private residential gardens to the south.
Existing Site Photographs
To show the current uses on the site and in the surrounding area, we have included a series of photographs from within and around the site below.



Our Emerging Ideas
We are in the early stages of looking to develop the site and have started to identify constraints and key considerations to be mindful of and consider as we prepare our plans for the site.
We are currently considering ideas to develop the spaces to provide much-needed new council rent homes, which will help meet the needs of our residents now and for generations to come.
We are also keen to explore opportunities to improve landscaping and shared amenities for residents of the estate.
Key Considerations
Neighbouring Gardens
The site is bordered to the north, east and south by gardens. This is not uncommon in London but care will need to be taken to ensure that both existing and future residents privacy is respected.
Infill Development to Provide Council Rent Homes
Considering its location along Victoria Drive, a main road through the area, and the height of surrounding buildings, this site may be able to support a mid-rise building that would help maximise the number of new homes provided.
Co-ordination with Surrounding Streetscape
Victoria Drive is characterised by large trees and buildings set away from the road. Care must be taken to ensure that any new development is coordinated with and responds to the surrounding streetscape and character.
Opportunities
The identified constraints and key considerations have enabled us to understand the opportunities for the site and allowed us to establish some initial ideas, which will help to shape our plans going forward.
Utilise an underused garage block
Improve connectivity and accessibility
Spaces for socialising and enjoyment
New affordable homes for local people
Retain existing trees where possible
Improve security and surveillance
Complement neighbouring homes and uses
Sustainable and energy efficient scheme
High-quality design
Preserve and improve the relationship of the site with the landscape
