conversion of the Elia Mews car park into a self-storage facility
Islington Council's Planning Committee has approved plans to convert the Elia Mews car park into a self-storage facility.
Islington Council's Planning Committee approved plans in October 2026 to convert the Elia Mews car park into a self-storage facility. This decision will lead to a significant reduction in parking spaces in the area, potentially worsening existing parking stress, according to a report on the committee's meeting.
The approved plans will transform the majority of the underground car park into 211 lockable storage units, while retaining 22 parking spaces. This aligns with Islington Council's policy to reduce car parking provision and redevelop sites.
