Pudding Mill SPG
A public realm strategy for Pudding Mill, one of the new neighbourhoods proposed around the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
Commissioned by the London Legacy Development Corporation, DK-CM delivered a public realm strategy for Pudding Mill, one of the new neighbourhoods proposed around the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The strategy, expressed as a series of typical and site-specific design principles, was used to form adopted Supplementary Planning Guidance in order to inform the ongoing development of the area.
Context
One of the key ambitions for this strategy and policy was to use types of public and semi-public spaces to encourage a particular diversity of uses within the development, reflecting the site’s industrial and manufacturing history and status as – more or less – an island, bordered by industrial waterways.
