Twelve Acres/Highbury Quadrant Improvements

Consultation Dates: 29 October 2007 to 30 November 2007


We are currently consulting on a Draft Planning Brief for this site that has buildings on Riverside Road and Highbury Quadrant. It is close to Clissold Park, next to the White House pub.

We would like to hear what you think of ideas for redeveloping and regenerating the site. Islington Council proposes to seek a Housing Association as a partner to redevelop this Reception Centre site to provide high quality affordable housing including large, family sized units. The brief includes three options which provide some possible building layouts and cover the following issues:

  • Providing high quality affordable housing

  • Extends the Riversdale Road terrace completing the street

  • Provides some family housing with front and rear gardens

  • Promoting development which is accessible and environmentally sustainable

  • Building heights and locations

  • Retaining the existing trees

  • Promote car free development with appropriate car parking for people with disabilities

Target Groups

Islington residents.
