Balcorne Street

37 Balcorne Street is a strip of land approximately 51 square meters on the end of a row of Georgian terrace properties. It is believed that the site formerly served as a pathway connecting what is now a school to Balcorne Street. The site backs up to the playground of Orchard Primary School.

The area is predominantly two and three storey residential mixed tenure homes with fairly good links to public transport and in close proximity to Frampton Park Estate and several schools. The site is 0.5 miles from London Fields Overground Station and has good links to several bus stations on Mare Street. The site is currently fenced off with hoarding from the road with no pedestrian access.

The section of Balcorne Street that the site is situated on runs North to South and is located towards the South West of the borough. St John’s of Jerusalem Church and Well Street Common are to the East (200 -250m ) of the site, to the West are Mare Street (approx 450m) and London Fields (approx 750m). Well Street is at the northern junction of Balcorne Street, and Victoria Park is approximately 500m to the South. Vehicular access at this junction is currently gated off.

It is situated next to 35 Balcorne Street which is a 2 storey end of terrace Victorian house. The southern and western borders of the site abut the rear gardens of 41 - 45 and 47 Balcorne Street. This section of Balcorne Street runs in an East - West direction, in contrast to the section the site is on.
