Little Strand, Colindale

Proposed

HTA Design LLP

The sustainable transformation of a 1970s cul-de-sac in Colindale, through the infill development of garage courts. Little Strand will create a mix of 35 affordable rent new houses and flats.

Little Strand is part of Barnet Homes’ affordable housing programme, infilling garage court sites within a cul-de-sac surrounded by existing homes. 35 new 1 and 2 bedroom flats and 3 and 4 bedroom houses are proposed on this 0.8 hectare suburban site. The strategy for reducing energy use and carbon emissions follows the London Plan Energy Hierarchy. The improvement in energy performance is achieved through high fabric efficiency, good air-tightness levels, efficient building services, and Air-Source Heat Pumps.

Zero Carbon London
