Our proposals
Planning consent was achieved in 2004 from the London Borough of Camden (LB Camden) for a mixed-use development consisting of 14 residential units together with two Class B8 units (warehouses) and eight Class B1 units (offices) with an associated service yard. The scheme was subsequently implemented, and it is the intention of HAML to deliver this scheme. However, the context of 14 Blackburn Road has changed since 2004, new developments have been constructed and others are proposed. HAML is also mindful of changes in planning policy since 2004. HAML therefore proposed to submit a planning application which will include additional residential units (approximately 31) above the commercial space and other measures in order to bring its existing planning approval up to date with LB Camden’s planning policies and the emerging site context. Following a pre-application meeting with Camden COuncil it was decided to amend the application so that a Full Planning Application will be submitted for two additional floors of commercial floor space, and a s.73 application seeks to vary the consented and implemented scheme that contains light industrial floor space, offices and residential apartments.
Details of both the boards presented at the public exhibition and the revisions to the scheme that were presented to a public meeting arranged by the West Hampstead NDF are presented below:
