Caledonian Road stage 3
We were recently shown around the 400 Caledonian Road site in Islington by the contractor SISK - a visit that will feed into our stage 3 footprint® assessment. 400 Caledonian Road is an interesting site adjacent to Caledonian Road overground station, with the railway line directly to the north separated by a public footpath. To the south there is a line of 4 storey Georgian terraces. The site previously contained dilapidated workshops and stables. Planning permission was granted prior to igloo buying the site, however a section 73 application was made proposing improvements to the scheme. It includes 25 homes (21 new-build apartments, 2 converted apartments and 2 semi-detached houses), as well as three commercial units (one of which will be in the old stables). During handover, householders will receive home user guides (produced by URBED) to help them understand the features of their home.
Update: 400 Caledonian Road recently secured the Gold Award in the Sustainable Development category of the What House? Awards 2015.
