Andover Medical Centre
Finsbury Park | London Borough of Islington | Feasibility
A feasibility study for a mixed use development on the existing Andover Doctors Surgergy site providing a new enlarged medical centre with residential accommodation above.
Providing a five-storey development with a set-back sixth floor is deemed to be appropriate in this location. The proposal provides 16 homes, with at least 50% being affordable. The 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartment types are provided within a relatively compact apartment building envelope, configured to limit the risk of overshadowing and overlooking of neighbouring properties whilst addressing both Hornsey Road, Mingard Walk and Newington Barrow Way. The central circulation and service core has also been located to allow a flexible and generous use at ground floor.
An enlarged medical centre, addressing the needs of the brief provided by the doctors at the existing Andover Medical Centres and is provided primarily at ground with further accommodation at first floor whilst addressing the constraints of the adjacent properties, existing landscape and primary routes into the Andover Estate from Hornsey Road.
