The vacant site represented by the former beer garden of Grade II Listed Dr. Johnson Public House in Ilford, sits within a predominantly residential area with a small number of local shops on Longwood Gardens. The wider area around Longwood Gardens and Rushden Gardens is a clearly defined townscape of two-storey terraced houses dated from 1930’s to late 1940’s and are located behind small front gardens with longer private gardens to the rear.

The new three storey residential development aims to accommodate nine new apartments with private and communal amenity and parking within a private micro neighbourhood. The proposed footprint is engaging with the existing street line, but the new residential building steps back on the upper floors as a precaution to minimize any risks to the neighbouring properties and environment. The same approach has been preferred with regards to height with the second floor stepping back to both the western, eastern and southern sides. The rhythm of the existing street scene has been replicated in the new design along with architectural style and decorations sympathetic to the adjacent Grade II Listed building. This pairing creates a unique character that sets up the strong identity of the new building.
