The draft proposals have been designed to respect and enhance the existing character of the area and integrate the old industrial architecture of the mill with some of the more modern architecture of the buildings in close proximity to the site.

7 Traffic The proposals are expected to have minimal effect on traffic in the surrounding area due to the relatively low level of parking associated with the scheme. Furthermore, the site is very well served by public transport and is a short walk away from a number of train and tube stations, as well as local bus links. As part of the application Fairview may be required to give a financial contribution to Transport for London (TFL) for further improvements to the Capital s transport infrastructure. Infrastructure Fairview will be providing a financial contribution to the Council if planning permission is granted. This will be done through the Community Infrastructure Levy, which is a flat charge, calculated on how much floor space is added to a site. This figure will then be allocated to areas in the borough such as schools and doctors surgeries as identified by the Council. Construction As part of any planning application, Fairview will prepare a construction management plan and agree this with Highways Officers at the Council. This will ensure that the construction phase will cause minimal disruption to the surrounding area and neighbours. Images depict proposed example materials As part of the construction management plan, Fairview will ensure that if planning permission is granted: A traffic marshal is present on site at all times; Vehicles will be contained within the site itself and will not cause blockage to the surrounding roads; The workforce will be encouraged to use public transport and will not be permitted to park their cars in neighbouring streets; That work will only take place during hours specified by the Council and will comply with Considerate Construction guidelines; and The site manager will be contactable.
