Neighbourhood Framework Document - Islington Council

Projects for King’s Cross Regeneration Area (Regent’s Canal North)
Neighbourhood Action Plan 3
Regent’s Canal North
3.1 York Way open space in front of shops near to
Copenhagen Street. Seek transfer of ownership
from Housing to Greenspace. Improve the
relationship with adjoining streets and potential
new spaces.
3.2 Backpackers Pub on York Way. Produce a
planning brief for the site. Any redevelopment
should link in with the plans for York Way and
King’s Cross Central seeking to produce a
mixed-use development of housing with retail or
bar or restaurant uses.
3.3 Kate Greenaway Nursery. Improvements to play
space and encourage supervised out of hours
and holiday use.
3.4 York Way Community Centre. Support any
attempts to connect the site of the centre and the
nursery to allow for convenient use of the centre
by nursery families.
3.5 Edward Square. Introduce signage and lighting
on Caledonian Road to ‘celebrate’ and draw the
attention of passers by to the Square. The
treatment of the nearby buildings that create the
narrow walkway into the square are key to a
successful scheme. Lighting on the entrances
and making gates harder to climb would also add
to a sense of security at night.
3.6 157 Caledonian Road. Seek improvements to the
rear yard of this site.
3.7 143-155 Caledonian Road. Produce a planning
brief for this site that has the potential to be
redeveloped into a mixed – commercial and
residential use.
3.8 York Way adjacent to Tiber Gardens. Seek better
use of back of pavement; either greening or
building that reinforces the building line on York
Way.
