The need for changeThis redevelopment will be the fourth complete
regeneration of the site. It is needed because:
The way the MPS uses the site has changed.
The Peel Centre was first developed by the
Metropolitan Police almost 80 years ago and it
was used as the training centre for the Met until2000. Today training makes up only 40% of our use
of the site and is changing further, with greater use
of technology, e-learning and the development of five
Regional Learning Centres, of which the Peel Centre
is one. The site also hosts some corporate services
and a range of operational uses which are often based
in buildings designed for a very different purpose.
Most of the facilities are outdated. Mainly built
in the 1960s and 1970s, too many buildings are in
urgent need of repair or upgrading and no longer
provide the quality of accommodation we want
for our officers and staff.
The site is far larger than we need today.
With changes in its use, technological advancement
and new ways of working, the MPS simply does not
need a 73 acre site any more, with buildings spread
out across a huge area, a sports field and houses.
It would be preferable to have new facilities all
located together.
There is an inefficient use of space. Buildings are
under-utilised. Our analysis shows we actually needonly around a fifth of the space currently provided
in the future.
Energy consumption is unsustainably high.
Outdated buildings and inefficient use of space
mean that we could dramatically reduce energy
consumption by redeveloping the site.
The site costs a great deal of money to maintain.
Delivering change is an important part of the MPSs
wider Corporate Real Estate agenda to make the
most efficient use of its properties - saving money
from its estate and focusing resources on front
line policing.
At the same time, the London Borough of Barnet
has identified the Peel Centre as one of the
essential components for the regeneration of
the Colindale area as described in their Colindale
Area Action Plan, adopted in March 2010.
The comprehensive regeneration of the site will also
support the Mayor of Londons ambitions to increase
the amount of housing, public open space andeducational facilities in London.
WelcomeThe Peel Centre Site is changing
The Mayors Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC)
and the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) are
planning the regeneration of the 73 acre Peel Centre
Site in North London.
Plans include a modern new-build facility for training
and operational policing, retaining policing use on the
site first developed by the MPS in the 1930s.
The remainder of the site will be opened up to the
public for the first time, creating new homes, jobs,
shops, open space and a new primary school for the
Colindale area.Welcome to the first public exhibition which shows
you our emerging proposals.
This is your opportunity to:

Planning for the fourth evolution
of the site to deliver facilities fit
for the needs of modern policing
and to reflect the fact that the way
we now use the Peel Centre has
changed dramatically
Following a peak in 2001/02,
cadet training ceased. The Simpson
Hall end of the estate was converted
to offices, residential training ceased,
and the Sir John Stevens Building
(CCC) opened
Original Peel House was
replaced, the residential towers
developed and the Simpson Hall
end and Swim/Gym were built
Site was developed for police use

About the areaColindale is located at the western end of the
London Borough of Barnet and around 10 miles
from central London.
It is well connected on the strategic road network
with the M1 Motorway and Edgware Road definingits eastern and western borders and linking the area
in to central London and out to Hertfordshire, Luton
and the Midlands.
Colindale Underground Station and local bus routes
provide good public transport access with central
London less than 30 minutes away by Tube.
The area has a rich industrial and aviation past.
More recently Colindale has seen significant new
residential development including at Beaufort Park
and the former Colindale Hospital site.
Barnet and the GLA have exciting plans for the areas
future fitting the Councils Three Strands approach
to Protect, Enhance and Grow. Colindale will be the
major location for new homes within the borough
over the next 10-15 years.

Our visionOur plans are based upon building new police
facilities to provide a modern working environment,
making best use of new technology, much more
efficient use of space and supporting the needs of
current policing.
The rest of the site will be opened up to the public,
creating new homes, jobs, shops and open space,
as well as a new primary school, as part of the wider
regeneration of the Colindale area.
The concept diagram to the right provides an initial
shape for our emerging plans.

Constraintsand opportunitiesThe site presents challenges and opportunities which
our master planners have responded to in developing
these emerging proposals.
Constraints
Noise Development on the site will need to
respond to external noise sources. These include
the elevated main line rail tracks and M1 motorway
east of the site, and the northern line tube tracks
south of the site.
Access Opportunities for access to the site are
limited by highways junctions on Colindale Avenue
and Aerodrome Road and the extent of the securefrontage required for the retained police land.
Trees The site contains a number of good quality,
mature trees some of which will be retained
where practical and appropriate. The quality of the
various trees on the site has been recorded following
a tree survey. This identifies that there are also a
large number of trees that are in a poor state of
health or not of the required quality to retain.
Land form Although the site is generally flat
there are localised level changes in the form of
embankments and ramps. The development will
need to respond to the predominant levels on the
site and ensure that inclusive access is maximised.
Peel link The Adopted Colindale Area Action Plan
promotes a north-south link between Aerodrome
Road and Colindeep Lane via the underpass on the
southern boundary of the site. The delivery of this
and the form it takes will be subject to technical
studies which are ongoing.
OpportunitiesConnectivity The site has previously been secure
and not open to public access. Development of
the site will enable improved pedestrian and cyclist
movement though the area.
Community facilities The new development
will improve the local retail facilities. The proposed
new primary school will meet education demand and
could provide out of hours community facilities.
The proposed new park will provide a substantial
green space at the heart of the development for
the wider community.
Colindale regeneration New scheme meets the
ambitions of the London Borough of Barnet by
creating jobs and supporting the local economy.New homes The development will provide a range
of high quality new homes including houses and
apartments at a variety of densities. There is also the
potential to provide student housing.
New police facilities Provision of new police
facilities equipped for the needs of modern policing.
The retained site also allows flexibility for expansion
and change for future generations of policing.

Public realm andopen spaceBarnet is known for the quality of its parks and open
spaces. Opening up the site to the public will enable
us to create a new community park for the area.
A substantial public park - which could potentially be
thesizeofsixormoreWembleyfootballpitches-will
provide a great place for people to spend their leisure
time.Itwillbewelllandscapedandeasilyaccessible
from Colindale Avenue, Aerodrome Road and the
surrounding area.
Many of the new houses and apartments will have
views looking over the park, enhancing the security
of the area.
We would like to include playing fields within the
park adding to existing local public sporting facilities.
We also envisage separate playing fields on the
school site which could be open to the public outside
school hours.
As part of our work to minimise the environmental
impact we intend to create a pond within the park
which will assist with rain water drainage as well
as enhancing the attractiveness of the area.
We also propose to create two smaller green
spaces as part of the residential development tothe west of the park.

The existing buildings on site are no longer

vital opportunity to rationalise, consolidate and
substantially improve facilities.
Inresponsetothemasterplanandinrecognition

Metropolitan Police, the scheme creates anidentifiable landmark facing the park. The site at the
eastern end of the Retained Land addresses the new
park and Aerodrome Road equally.
The overall form of the building is to be broken
into three elements that relate to the urban grain,
allow views between the park and surrounding
context and respond to the diverse requirements of
the brief. These elements are arranged in such a way
as to contain key external spaces such as a Parade
Square and a Memorial Garden. The listed statue of
Sir Robert Peel will be relocated into these new
external spaces.

Our design team are developing a surface water

the most recent regulation and the increasing
attention to the sustainable management of water
resources. The proposals will ensure the sustainable
management of surface water runoff while providing
ecological benefit and providing amenity. One of
the potential options our team is currently
investigating is the creation of water features in the
public parks. These would hold surface water runoff
reducing flood risk downstream, would improve
water quality and provide a focal point within the
public open space.
