The Design Process
Planning permission was granted in March 2015.
The design process involved extensive consultation with both Islington’s Planning and Housing Departments.
Three pre-application meetings were held and the scheme was presented to the Members’ Forum and to Islington’s Design Review Panel.
Just at the point of submission the planners insisted on two changes; that the ground floor elevations to the basin edge be amended to introduce front doors at ground floor level to activate this stretch of the towpath and that the brick-bond be amended to Flemish. The latter was ultimately not enforced.
