The draft masterplan we are proposing is informed by a number of elements, such as the ongoing

feedback from the local community and the Holloway Prison Site’s Supplementary Planning

Document (SPD). On top of that, we have to take the constraints of the site into consideration.

These constraints included site levels, local views, existing trees and nearby conservation areas.

SITE LEVEL CHANGES

Holloway Prison lies on a slope rising toward the

south and west of the site facing Dalmeny Avenue.

The tallest point of the site, next to the western

boundary, is a full eight metres taller than the lowest

point of the site, the car park next to Parkhurst Road.

LOCAL VIEWS

Two viewing corridors run through the western

portion of the site. These views look from Archway

Road to St. Paul’s Cathedral.

EXISTING TREES ON SITE

The provision of publicly accessible green

infrastructure and play space is front and centre of

our proposals. We are committed to retaining existing

trees on site, together with incorporating additional

tree and shrub planting.

A LANDSCAPE-LED MASTERPLANOur ‘Landscape Led’ design process puts as much importance on the spaces created between

buildings as the buildings and architecture themselves. This has allowed us identify the most

significant and important landscape elements of the site and develop the masterplan around

these to ensure their retention and to respect their historical significance. Our aim is to create a

historical link to the past by retaining and nurturing the positive landscape elements of the site,

creating a positive cultural legacy for the future.

We have identified a variety of trees and tree groups which we want to retain, as well as a number

of the existing courtyard and garden spaces that will be retained, improved and integrated into

a new collection of publicly accessible landscape spaces. We are retaining trees along Camden

and Parkhurst Road, the London Plane tree, trees in the former women’s garden and a large

weeping willow that was in the former chicken run. We are retaining the former women’s garden

space and transforming this into a new public park. The former chicken run becomes a new

garden space and the former exercise space is adapted to be part of the women’s building.

You said... We did...

Residents have wanted to preserve as many

existing trees on-site as possible. In particular, the

London Plane toward Parkhurst Road, and Weeping

Willow toward Bakersfield were cited.

We have carefully considered the plans in order

to retain both the aforementioned trees as well

as two established tree groups, totalling 34

together.

SOME OF THE KEY TREES WE HAVE IDENTIFY ON SITE

Our proposals will include9,500sqm of open space including

a new public park

WHAT THE DEVELOPMENT COULD LOOK LIKE

ACCESS

A PEDESTRIAN-FRIENDLY MASTERPLAN

The draft masterplan makes clear that as a car-free space, pedestrians and cyclists

are the main priority. This means encouraging safe routes through the site, only

allowing emergency and delivery vehicles access and ensuring safe storage for a

range of bikes is included in the final designs.

The scheme will include vehicular routes for delivery, servicing and accessible

parking. These will be accessed through two vehicular access points.


Those that live locally echoed the desire

to preserve pedestrian routes connecting

Parkhurst Road to Bakersfield, as well as

opening up the wider site to pedestrian

activity.

We are working with adjacent

landowners to explore connectivity

through the site that will link the site

and community together.

Our proposals have taken forward the key principles set out in the Holloway Prison Site’s Supplementary Planning Document (SPD). These

include providing clear, high-quality routes to promote community integration.

BUILDING HEIGHT

The height and location of the new homes has been carefully considered to work

with the significant level changes across the site, the proximity of neighbouring

homes, overlooking, the existing trees on site, and views.

DELIVERING HOUSING

We have worked hard to deliver the maximum number of new homes sensitively

on the site, particularly affordable housing that meets the needs of the local

community.


Feedback has mostly agreed that the

masterplan should not include tall buildings

that will have a negative impact on local views

and neighbouring residents.

Our proposals work locate the

tallers buildings in the centre of

the site to minimise the impact on

surrounding homes.

We have carefully considered building heights in order to minimise the impact on the site’s neighbours. We will be providing detailed analysis

of the daylight and sunlight impacts to the homes around the site and for future residents at the detailed exhibition later in the summer.

LISTENING TO YOUR VIEWS

The consultation to date has given us valuable insight into how we should progress

the draft masterplan. Here is a summary of what local residents have told us.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE PRINCIPLES?

• Do you agree with the principle of a landscape-led masterplan which will

include generous provision of public realm and high-quality landscaping?

• Do you think the development should be car-free and give priority to

pedestrians?

• Do you agree that we have achieved a good balance between housing provision,

in particular affordable housing, and building height?

Thank you for taking the time to take part in our virtual exhibition. We hope you

have found this useful in understanding this site and our emerging masterplan

proposals. The future of the former Holloway Prison will continue to be shaped by

the local community, and your feedback is valued by Peabody and our consultant

team.

As the design progresses, we will continue to keep local residents updated on

other consultation events through our project website, our mailing list and our

regular meetings with community representatives. We will continue to follow the

Government’s advice on public gatherings, and this will guide the format of these

consultation events.

Contact details

Women’s Building

You may recall that we held a dedicated session on the Women’s Building in

March. Islington Council will soon be conducting further consultation on the

Women’s Building. This will be posted on the Council’s consultation page. The link

can be found on the right.

Keeping in touch

We will also provide updates on our proposals as they progress and local

residents will be kept informed.
