Neighbourhood Framework Document - Islington Council

Neighbourhood Action Plan 5
Bingfield New Quarter
5.4 1-7 Brydon Walk (Delhi Outram). Improve the
definition between public and private spaces.
Rationalise the walling and fencing that
separate the two, especially near to –
landscape and give more definition to the
public and private space in front of premises.
5.5 50-80 Bingfield Street. Seek changes to
increase overlooking of the park by the block
to increase passive surveillance of the park.
This could include the reworking of the wall
between the block and the park and a
change of use of some or all of the gated
parking spaces.
5.6 Crumbles Castle. Realise the plans to
improve and enlarge the current building and
improve its ability to overlook and supervise
the park. Any changes to the castle should
help to make this area more welcoming to
pedestrians – serving as a draw along
Randells Road toward Caledonian Road.
5.7 Former Street William of York (WOY) site.
Seek a perimeter block development on the
former WOY site that creates new frontages
on the street and overlooks the park. This
should be sensitive to overlooking and
blocking out light issues for existing residents
on Gifford Street.
5.8 Delhi Street and Vibart Walk. Completely
remodel the two play areas on the estate to
make them more secure, safer and more
welcoming. Ensure arrangements for their
secure closure at night.
