The Camden Council Planning Committee is scheduled to meet on 13 November 2025, to discuss several planning applications. These include a discussion of proposed amendments to an existing permission for lab-enabled offices on Judd Street, a proposal to extend and refurbish buildings on Warren Street and Euston Road, and a plan to convert part of a car park on Drury Lane into a self-storage facility.

Here are the key topics that the committee is expected to discuss:

Judd Street Development

The committee will consider a report regarding proposed variations to previously approved plans for 105 - 121 Judd Street, which currently has permission (ref. 2022/1817/P) for roof extensions and associated works to create lab-enabled commercial space. The new application, 2025/1684/P, seeks to vary conditions relating to approved drawings and fire safety.

Specifically, the proposed changes include:

• Amendments to the design and massing of the rooftop plant enclosure.
• New louvres within existing openings and infilling existing windows.
• An extended bridge link over a lightwell.
• An extended southwest stair core.
• Extract flues to the roof.
• Amendments to the northeast entrance, including an access ramp.

According to the report pack, the recommendation is to grant conditional planning permission, subject to a deed of variation to the Section 106 Legal Agreement.

The report pack notes that the proposed changes to the plant enclosure would result in a small height change of 0.26m, and an expansion of 80sqm.

The report pack also notes that the proposed tenant intends to use some of the lab enabled office space as level 2 containment laboratories¹.

The report pack says that the applicant has agreed to a pre-commencement condition requiring the flues to be tested before use, and that this procedure would satisfy officers that ongoing monitoring would not be necessary.

The report pack also notes that the offer of affordable workspaces has been updated, with the location changed from the basement to the first floor, and the space being offered free of charge for 20 years, rather than at 50% of market rate.

Warren Street and Euston Road Refurbishment

The committee will also consider application 2025/2958/P, which concerns 69-70 & 71 Warren Street & 301-305 Euston Road. The proposal involves the refurbishment, alteration, and upward extension of the buildings to provide additional commercial accommodation (Class E), along with the refurbishment and upward extension of 71 Warren Street to retain its use as a single dwelling (Class C3).

The report pack notes that the proposal involves the retention of approximately 70% of the floor structure in the commercial building, and that the building would achieve BREEAM² Excellent.

The report pack also notes that the applicant has agreed to make a payment-in-lieu of housing, due to the constraints of housing delivery on the site.

The report pack says that the public benefits of the scheme, including economic development and financial contributions, would outweigh the identified harm to the Fitzroy Square Conservation Area and the setting of the Grade II listed terrace at 63-68 Warren Street.

The report pack recommends that conditional planning permission is granted subject to a Section 106 Legal Agreement.

NCP Car Park on Drury Lane

The Planning Committee will also discuss application 2025/2178/P, regarding the NCP Car Park on Drury Lane. The proposal involves a part change of use of the basement car park from car parking (Sui Generis) to a self-storage facility (Class B8).

The report pack notes that the car park sits below a 14-storey mixed-use building known as New London House, and that the applicant believes the car park is over-provisioned for the demand of its customers.

The report pack says that the self-storage facility would be operated by 'Here Self Storage', and would comprise 822 drive-up self-storage units across floors -4 Level B-C, -5 Level C-D and -6 Level D, equating to 2995.3sqm GFA of B8 use. The rest of the car park will remain as a car park use.

The report pack also notes that no external alterations are proposed, and that the facility would be accessible 24/7 by customers.

The report pack recommends that conditional planning permission is granted.
