PROPOSED MASTERPLAN

The proposals look to revitalise the site which has been vacant for over a decade.

With restoration at the heart of the vision, the proposals will refurbish the key historic buildings and redevelop the remainder of the site to deliver:

178 new homes, 51% of which will be affordable in line with the identified need within the area.

New student accommodation as a new landmark building, providing 242 student rooms.

Element of flexible commercial/community space.

LANDSCAPING AND PUBLIC REALM

New and improved public realm and green space will be provided through extensive landscaping along with a new public square designed to be a focal point and key attraction for visitors to Archway.

Improved access through the new public realm will also allow for integration of the site into the nearby town centre.

PROJECT BENEFITS
