About the site

<h4 id="isPasted">In 1990, the Broadwalk Centre opened on the site of the former railway station. For 30 years it has served as a hub for shopping on the high street and has been the home of the main supermarket in the area, Sainsbury&rsquo;s.</h4>The site currently comprises of:<ul><li style="text-align: left;">The Broadwalk Shopping Centre which provides 180,000 sqft of retail space</li><li style="text-align: left;">Edgware Bus Station</li><li style="text-align: left;">Edgware TfL Bus Garage</li><li style="text-align: left;">Car parking</li></ul><div id="isPasted" title="Page 1"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1646845586/projects/t0qe3yhb7wsqycrjsuqs.png" style="width: 490px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">&nbsp;<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1646826324/projects/bamq0qfp5fyaib8qsxey.jpg" style="width: 515px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1646826464/projects/acyxmqz47qbeddsmouap.jpg" style="width: 425px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">&nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1646826532/projects/sn9r3ie2fpjrstfdaxki.jpg" style="width: 570px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> Part of our site also sits within the local Eruv boundary, an area within which observant Jews can carry or push objects on the Sabbath.The images above were taken in December 2021, and show the Broadwalk Shopping Centre, Edgware Bus Station, and the surrounding area as they are today.Our emerging masterplan ideas have been informed by our engagement with the community, which is summarised in the following boards, and have been discussed with officers through the pre-application process.Our aim is to breathe new life back into Edgware. We want to bring people back into the town centre and create a great place for people to relax and enjoy the area.</div><h3>Barnet Council and the GLA&nbsp;</h3><div id="isPasted" title="Page 1"><h4>Barnet Council&rsquo;s emerging Local Plan and Edgware Growth Area Supplementary Planning Document (SPD), alongside the Greater London Authority&rsquo;s (GLA) London Plan 2021all identify Edgware town centre as a place where development could improve the local area.</h4>Combined, these policies seek to focus housing growth in this well connected major town centre. Alongside this, the policy also calls for new retail, commercial, and public spaces for Edgware. Our project will need to address these policy conditions through our emerging masterplan.</div>

History

<h3 id="isPasted">From London to Edgware</h3><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1646423599/projects/mkixjokyls88euhfelag.jpg" style="width: 310px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">&nbsp; <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1646856025/projects/sdbjtyawqhmwrvv3ciuz.jpg" style="width: 300px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"><div id="isPasted" title="Page 1">During the 20th Century, Station Road became a central hub in Edgware, providing shops and leisure spaces and connecting people to central London. The opening of the Northern Line in 1924 marked the start of Edgware transforming from a more rural area into a town centre, bringing new homes and businesses to the area.It was often advertised as an escape from the hustle and bustle of London, with open grass areas and fresh air all just a short trip away at the end of the Northern Line.</div><h3> A place for businesses to grow</h3><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1646423667/projects/zikrqtprarogpzzhxuwv.png" style="width: 400px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">&nbsp; &nbsp; <div id="isPasted" title="Page 1">Building on its agricultural past, Edgware became a great place for businesses to grow, especially in the 20th Century. A handful of big-name businesses got their start in Edgware or based their head offices here:</div><ul><li>Tesco opened its first ever store in Burnt Oak in 1929</li><li>Green Shield Stamps, which later became Argos, was headquartered in the 1960s in what is now Premier House</li><li>Boosey &amp; Hawkes, the biggest names in classical music publishing and wind and brass instruments previously based its factory in Edgware</li></ul><h3>A diverse area</h3><div id="isPasted" title="Page 1">Edgware is a diverse area, with approximately 40% of the local population identifying as BAME at the 2011 census, and 37% not born in the UK. Edgware also has the third-highest Jewish population in London, with 33% of local people identifying as Jewish.</div><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1646826953/projects/mkgwb3sajh69j3zgtik5.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 600px;"><div id="isPasted" title="Page 1">Edgware celebrates its Jewish population in the local communityIt is also an intergenerational place, with a higher percentage of both people ages 65 and over and people ages 15 and under than the London average:<ul><li>22.9% of the population are children, ages 0-15</li><li>61.6% of the population are working-age people, ages 16-64</li><li>15.5% of the population are older people, ages 65 and above</li></ul></div><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1646423745/projects/dldlgy9gbb1ccdqw2nts.png" style="width: 600px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">Edgware is a diverse and vibrant community

More Edgware, Less Anywhere

<div id="isPasted" title="Page 1"><h4 style="text-align: left;">You told us Edgware is ready for a change that will improve on and complement the current town centre and create a more welcoming place for generations to come.</h4><div id="isPasted" title="Page 1">We have a unique opportunity for the area. All our conversations with the community and the comments on our website have informed our initial ideas for Edgware Central. In addition, we have responded to a range of constraints that exist both physically on site and within planning policy.<div id="isPasted" title="Page 1">With lots of&nbsp;green space, good connections to the wider area and London, and the potential to&nbsp;link&nbsp;the area to other local destinations, there are plenty of ways that we can breathe new life into the area and make it&nbsp;More Edgware, Less Anywhere.Feedback we&#39;ve received so far which has informed our initial ideas for how our masterplan might develop includes:<ul><li>&quot;Edgware has much to offer, its affluence along with its fantastic transport routes enable it to be a fantastic place for a variety of uses and new sectors.&quot;</li><li>&quot;It would be great if facilities and security of the area could be improved.&quot;</li><li>&quot;Make the bus station a vibrant place, possibly with a news agent and coffee on the go shop so that bus users want to use it.&quot;</li><li>&quot;The park I have pinned is the only one in easy walking distance for young children on that side of Edgware, it is great to have there, but only has 1 climbing frame that has been vandalised.&quot;</li></ul>The plans below show our initial ideas and how our masterplan might develop to respond to some of those opportunities and constraints, to address the feedback from the local community:&nbsp; <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1646846396/projects/cd7ydofglyomw5ttrhxj.png" style="width: 600px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">Town Centre Destinations <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1646846310/projects/yv3iropycxfvnnwvcgtg.png" style="width: 600px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">Existing Connections <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1646846466/projects/e36vx3t39ng1bwe4cerl.png" style="width: 600px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">Improved Connectivity Our initial ideas seek to&nbsp;<ul style="list-style-type: circle;"><li>Improve north - south connection between Station Road and Hemming Road</li><li>Create new connections to Mill Hill Nature Reserve, old railway line and access to Edgware town centre.</li></ul><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1646846239/projects/mpamvutvc6uj0kxoqrp4.png" style="width: 600px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">Improved Public RealmWe are also seeking to:<ul style="list-style-type: circle;"><li>Improve the setting of Station Road</li><li>Improve the landscape around the station, Railway Hotel and primary school</li><li>Improve access to existing green spaces and create new ones.</li></ul></div></div></div>

An exciting, vibrant town centre

<div id="isPasted" title="Page 1"><h4 style="text-align: left;">You told us that although Edgware was once an exciting and vibrant place to be, it now feels like it could use some positive changes to bring it into the 21st century.</h4>We have heard loud and clear:<ul><li style="font-style: italic;">&quot;Edgware use to be lovely. It is now full of cheap shops, is dirty and dated.&quot;</li><li style="font-style: italic;">&quot;I have lived here for over 31 years and this area has deteriorated so badly. I remember it as a teen as a vibrant place, cinema, shopping with so much choice.&quot;</li></ul><div id="isPasted" title="Page 1">Edgware Central has the potential to deliver a wide range of new and exciting activities that will complement the current high street offer in the area.&nbsp;<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1646847152/projects/spzi2dxv5iwex0ccsqi8.png" style="width: 600px;" class="fr-fic fr-dii">This could include: workspaces and offices, outdoor community spaces, family-focused leisure, retail, a new cinema, restaurants and dining, cultural attractions, fitness and leisure, and more!&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</div></div>

Connecting to nature

<div id="isPasted" title="Page 1">You have told us that having connections to the open, green space in your local area is a key part of maintaining your health and wellbeing. In particular, over the past two years having an easily accessible green area nearby has been essential for keeping well:<ul><li style="font-style: italic;">&quot;Lived in Edgware for years. The area could be improved with more greenery, walkways, maybe a small square with shops and cafes, outside seating.&quot;</li><li style="font-style: italic;">&quot;Please create space that is attractive, harmonious with the surrounding area, eco-friendly and a destination retail area.&quot;</li></ul><div id="isPasted" title="Page 1">At the moment, the Edgware Bus Garage (located behind the bus station) blocks access to the back of the site. We think moving the bus garage underground would help us make better connections through the town centre, particularly to the green spaces and existing nature reserves nearby.<h3 id="isPasted">Green spaces</h3><div id="isPasted" title="Page 1">Our early ideas for improving access to green space on the site centre around creating new landscaped areas throughout the masterplan. By providing more trees, grass, seating, and play areas, as well as opening up access to spaces like Deansbrook Nature Reserve, we can encourage people to use the site to improve their health and wellbeing, or just to come and relax.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1646838529/projects/lqaui3y3crz2h8pzigrp.png" style="width: 700px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">The development sits at the heart of green corridors through Edgware, supporting healthy and biodiverse routes We could landscape different areas of the site:<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1646842547/projects/fwocn4htgdrcgthnlcsw.png" style="width: 300px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">&nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1646842558/projects/uxhykhafgkjwzpswyxfy.png" style="width: 300px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">&nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1646842569/projects/gee83plfuolqvm82oh6g.png" style="width: 300px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"><h3> </h3><h3 id="isPasted">Water features</h3>Alongside more greenery, water features can create calming and relaxing spaces to unwind in an urban setting. The map below shows how a sustainable water strategy can connect with the wider blue network while creating features on the site.<div id="isPasted" title="Page 1"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1646838725/projects/fky4vollhrlpjbm95oak.png" style="width: 600px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">This plan shows where we could create access to water features as part of a wider water strategy These images below show some ideas for how we could integrate water features to create interactive and visual effects into the landscape.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1646838948/projects/e1wajeey4kbbs8cunipk.png" style="width: 300px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1646838963/projects/rdeou79wxjfjtfoeaaq5.png" style="width: 300px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1646838973/projects/gy39yzhdxkuw4mjs2ydm.png" style="width: 300px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"><h3 id="isPasted">Nature to nature</h3><div id="isPasted" title="Page 1">The landscape plan below illustrates how natural green spaces can link routes for people to walk, cycle and relax, from Station Road through to the nature reserve in the east, and towards Edgware Community Hospital to the South.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1646847358/projects/bnvqgkdehj7n93a0jo8n.png" style="width: 600px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"></div></div></div></div></div>

Getting around Edgware

<div id="isPasted" title="Page 1"><h4>Whilst Edgware is well-connected to central London, we have heard that local transport options linking Edgware to surrounding neighbourhoods can be limited. We want to ensure that local people are as well-connected to Edgware Central as they are to wider London.</h4>Some feedback we have received from locals includes:<ul><li style="font-style: italic;">&quot;Fewer cars, more walking and cycling space.&quot;</li><li style="font-style: italic;">&quot;Access to and from the bus garage is poor.

Edgware Central: Emerging Masterplan Ideas

Your thoughts about our emerging ideas for Edgware Central

We are committed to building a net zero carbon development

Sustainable design

A sustainable Edgware is not just about high environmental standards and a cleaner, greener town centre - it&#39;s also about creating a great place to live now and in the future, by providing homes, open space, leisure, workspace and retail for the entire community.&nbsp;When speaking with your community, we&#39;ve heard that making the area more accessible is a key priority, giving people more opportunities to get around on foot and on their bicycles. More green space, and creating opportunities for local businesses to thrive were also important. &nbsp;<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1642182754/projects/rxkursw0xrailyisfox2.jpg" style="width: 600px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">Example of shared green space

A place where local people thrive

We want to build a safe and inclusive town centre that promotes health and wellbeing, and will be a great place to live and visit for years to come. We want to do this by:<ul><li>Building new homes&nbsp;to address need in Barnet and London. </li><li>Creating new routes and links between the new development and existing neighbourhoods. </li><li>Designing good local walking, cycling and public transport connections to enable people to live car-free lifestyles. </li><li>Enabling people to use active travel modes and have active lifestyles, contributing to good health and wellbeing </li><li>Building community connections across the neighbourhood so that the town centre remains familiar to and accessible for existing communities. </li><li>Providing workspaces to support a range of business activities including local commerce, Small to Medium Enterprise, social enterprise, as well as creative and cultural activities and flexible working spaces. </li><li>Creating an engaging public realm for people of all ages, with opportunities for social activities, formal and informal play and social interaction during the daytime, evening and at night, meeting the needs of local communities.</li></ul>As designs progress, we want to hear what is most important to your community, and what you think the area needs to make it a great place to live.

A cleaner, greener Edgware

Local people have told us that having an Edgware which is greener and more sustainable is very important to them.&nbsp;We have heard that you want improved green spaces, more trees, and more environmentally friendly forms of transport including better walking and cycle routes in a new town centre.&nbsp;As we work through options for the area, sustainable design will be at the heart of all buildings and public spaces.&nbsp;<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1640196026/projects/mxacvrltlefhbic3u1yg.png" style="width: 600px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">Example of greenery in a public space

Ballymore and TfL are working closely with Glenn Howells Architects and Barnet Council to ensure that our designs meet high standards of sustainability, delivering a cleaner, greener Edgware for generations to come.&nbsp;Buildings will make use of sustainable materials, promoting high recycling rates and low water use.Our designs will also create a low carbon development, looking to continually improve performance towards net-zero carbon.
