Land Adjacent to 100 Claude Road

The London Borough of Waltham Forest is releasing this site for the development of affordable housing and the Council particularly encourages community-led housing groups to submit bids. Please download the Bidding Guide from the 'How to submit your proposal' section below for more information on the requirements.

The site is located adjacent to 100 Claude Road E10, and dwellings at 268-278 Murchison Road front the site. The site is currently being used for parking vehicles, but this use is not a designated use and it is not regulated by the Council.

The site is situated on Claude Road, which is a predominantly residential area. The site is located a 9 minute walk (700m) from Leyton Midland Road Overground station. Services from this station run between Barking and Gospel Oak. The nearest bus stops are situated a 6 minute walk (500m) from the site on Hainault Road. The stops are served by route W16 (Chingford Mount to Leytonstone).

The site size is 442sqm, and it is currently used for surface parking.

Planning statement:

• There are no site allocations, it is not within a conservation area.
• The site’s context and surrounding area is primarily two storey terraced properties, which means the site is not an appropriate location for taller buildings.
• All new developments would be car free and required to accommodate one cycle parking space for one bed units and two cycle parking spaces for two (plus) bed units, in line with Policy DM16 of the DMP (2013).
• The site contains a tree to the rear of the site. Any scheme would need to take account of this and consider Root Protection Area.
