Witherford Watson Mann. Dwellings in Ailsa Street. London
March 21, 2011
Ailsa Street is a 4.7 hectare site in the lower Lea Valley in East London that became isolated from Poplar when the A12 road was created in the 1960’s. Once cut off from the surrounding urban fabric, the site has become increasingly treated as a back, occupied by scrap dealers, refuse recycling and fly tippers. The London Development Agency commissioned Witherford Watson Mann to produce a development framework to support a CPO procedure that would see the long term comprehensive redevelopment of the entire site with the aims of: retaining and intensifying the commercial use of the site; creating residential development with the provision of a significant proportion of family accommodation, with private external space for the majority of units; making provision of local amenity space; making a contribution to public transport and local movement infrastructure links.
