Welcome

Thank you for coming today

Todays event is about emerging proposals for the development of the vacant site on the corner of Depot Approach and Cricklewood Broadway (opposite Beacon Bingo), Cricklewood. Members of the team and some of the technical consultants are here today to listen to your views on the initial proposals for a mixed-use development scheme including apartments and a new supermarket. We would welcome any feedback in advance of the submission of a planning application to Barnet Council.

We will be here today from 10.00 to 14.00 and 16.00 to 20:00.

The Developer

Tepbrook Properties Ltd is the development company who will be responsible for the regeneration of the site. Tepbrook Properties Ltd has a longstanding interest in the regeneration of Cricklewood (see below) and these proposals are considered to be another important step in their aim to deliver substantial benefits to the area and the local community.

Cricklewood Travelodge Tepbrook Properties Ltd delivered the new Travelodge hotel on Cricklewood Broadway which was successfully completed in 2011. This development provided a number of contributions towards the improvement of a local park and improvement of the urban realm in the local area.

Beacon Bingo In 1995 Tepbrook Properties Ltd developed a 5,000 sq m purpose built state of the art innovative Bingo complex and to this day it remains Europes No 1 performer in the sector. It employs 120 people and has firmly established itself as an important part of the local community for the past 18 years.

The Site and the Team

Before we start designing a new scheme, we complete an assessment of the site and the surrounding area as they are at present. This has shaped the design of the scheme that you see here today. Some of these issues/requirements include: Appropriate surveillance and safe design Parking to serve the development Active frontage to the street Topography of the site Adjacent uses

The site is located on the edge of Cricklewood District Centre on the corner of Cricklewood Broadway and Depot Approach (opposite Beacon Bingo). The area of the site extends to 0.44 hectares (4,451 sq. m). The site is currently vacant with the former buildings having been demolished between 2004 and 2008. These proposals will bring the site back into a productive use and give it an economic function once more. It is anticipated that the total investment in the development of the site will be in the order of 20 million

To support these proposals a number of studies have been or are being undertaken by consultants, including: Deloitte Planning, Sustainability & Neighbourly Matters Raven Green & Company Chartered Surveyors Entran Acoustic Assessment & Air Quality EDP Ecology and Archaeology Paul Mew Associates Transport Assessment / Travel Plan TEC Land Contamination BWB Drainage and Utilities OConnor Sutton Cronin - BREEAM / Code for Sustainable Homes / Mechanical & Engineering solutions

Retail

The retail element of the scheme comprises a new supermarket with a 2,070 sq.m sales area and 125 customer car parking spaces provided at basement level. For comparison, the new supermarket would be roughly two thirds the size of the existing Tesco store on Tilling Road and just over two and a half times the size of the Co-op store on Cricklewood Lane.

The development of a new supermarket within this location will create a number of employment opportunities within the retail environment. Cricklewood residents and local businesses will also benefit from an increased footfall within the surrounding area due to linked shopping trips which bring about wider social and economic benefits. If granted planning permission the construction phase of the scheme will create 200 jobs over a 14 month period. The supermarket will create a further 200 full and part time jobs targeted at local people. There will also be an additional 40 indirect jobs created in the supply chain in relation to the operation of the supermarket. This would represent a major long-term economic boost for Cricklewood.

The residential element of the scheme proposes a total of 86 no. 1, 2 and 3 bed apartments. The apartments would benefit from the inclusion of an enclosed courtyard amenity area whilst two secure childrens play areas are also provided as part of the development. Rooftop areas will be landscaped, with many accessible as communal terraces. These green roofs will further contribute to the drainage retention system of the development in addition to providing attractive amenity space.

The development will be constructed in a range of high quality and locally compatible materials.

The layouts for all apartments comply with Lifetime Homes Standards. 5 units have been designed to meet the standard for Best Practice Guidance for Wheelchair Accessible Housing. The development has also been designed to meet Secured by Design Standards.

Parking

A total of 125 car parking spaces are to be provided in a basement parking level for the supermarket. An additional 75 secured covered spaces will be provided for residents of the apartments, 72 within a new mezzanine deck above the existing parking to the rear of the Beacon Bingo and 3 disabled spaces in the basement area below the supermarket.

A total of 100 cycle storage spaces for the apartments are located in a dedicated store, off the main underground parking access with overflow spaces located underneath a covered walkway at garden level. Cycle parking for shoppers is located under cover adjacent to the proposed supermarket entrance on Cricklewood Broadway.

How to get involved

Once you have had the opportunity to look at the proposals, if you have any questions please do talk to us. The consultation feedback and detailed design will help inform and shape a Planning Application for the site - we expect to submit this to Barnet Council in in the last quarter of 2013. Once submitted the Council will write to neighbouring residents again, providing further details of the application and giving you the opportunity to comment formally to the Council.
