The Housing Scrutiny Committee is scheduled to meet to discuss the redevelopment of the Regent's Park Estate North, an update on improving housing standards in the private rented sector, and the Housing Transformation Programme. The committee will also discuss its work programme and forward plan.

Regent's Park Estate North Redevelopment

The committee is scheduled to discuss a report regarding the proposed redevelopment of Regent's Park Estate North, specifically the Cartmel, Coniston and Langdale blocks, Harrington Street, Stanhope Parade and the Regent's Park Children's Centre, all of which are located in the NW1 postcode area.

The report pack states that in 2023, Camden Council reached a Settlement Agreement (SA) with HS2 Ltd to address the impact of HS2 works at Euston Station. The agreement was intended to enable residents of Cartmel, Coniston and Langdale to move away from the noise, dust and construction impacts of the HS2 project.

As part of this Settlement Agreement, Camden Council undertook an Options Appraisal to determine the best long-term future for the blocks. The report recommends pursuing Option 4, which involves the redevelopment of Coniston, Cartmel, Langdale, Stanhope Parade and the Children's Centre.

In May 2025, the Executive Director Supporting Communities, following consultation with the Cabinet Member for Planning and a Sustainable Camden, decided to accept this recommendation as the Council's preferred option , subject to further consultation and a subsequent report to Cabinet.

The council's cabinet is now being asked to approve the proposal to pursue the redevelopment option, Option 4, and endorse the next steps to develop a full business case and Regeneration Strategy.

Private Rented Sector Housing Standards

The Director of Housing is scheduled to provide an update on the council's actions to improve standards within the private rented sector. The report covers enforcement activity, proactive interventions and looking forward to the new duties and responsibilities from the Renters' Rights Bill, which received Royal Assent on Monday 27 October 2025.

Housing Transformation Programme Update

The Director of Housing and the Director of Property Management are scheduled to present a report updating the committee on the progress of the Housing Transformation Programme. The programme was formally launched in 2024 to bring together multiple pieces of work across Housing and Property Management in response to changing regulations and financial pressures. The report is intended to provide an update on how the programme is delivering to meet those pressures, and the goals set out in We Make Camden.

Work Programme and Forward Plan

The Director of Property Management is scheduled to present a report suggesting a possible work programme for the scrutiny committee.
