Dockwray Square

Eastern Side

Plan of a block.

Proceed with Caution! - Courts tightly dimensioned; may cause problems if a number of residents require simultaneous access.

Green Light! - Excellent examples showing combination of a well-designed mews court supplemented with on-street provision. Parking courts ingeniously planned; which work as informal social space for neighbours. The presence of cars is a positive quality; complementary to traditional benefits of square design. Good visual surveillance of residents' vehicles.

Lanes between housing grid cut across the whole urban block.

Red Light! - Access roads are inactive, and garden sizes are restricted b the car.

Proceed with Caution! - Only two in three houses has a garage and access to garages is tight. Very high density achieved for houses with garages but access is wasteful of space and short streets and road-like.

Green Light! - Conveniently close to dwellings.
