Squire Heritage Consulting provided specialist built heritage advice for the major mixed-use redevelopment of Coronation Square, contributing to the wider Townscape, Visual and Above Ground Heritage Assessment.
The assessment considered the effects of a substantial mixed-use regeneration scheme, including revised building heights and massing, upon the significance and setting of nearby listed buildings, Leyton Town Conservation Area and locally important Coronation Gardens.
Working alongside the wider townscape and visual assessment, the heritage work considered the relationship between the emerging development, established townscape character and sensitive heritage receptors. Particular attention was given to building height, visibility, setting and the transition between the larger-scale redevelopment and the finer-grained historic fabric of Leyton.
The assessment concluded that the revised development would not harm the significance of the identified listed buildings, while the redevelopment offered opportunities to establish a more positive relationship between new built form, Coronation Gardens and the wider Leyton townscape.
