December 11, 2025 View on council websiteSummary
The Camden Council Planning Committee is scheduled to meet on Thursday, 11 December 2025, to discuss several planning applications. These include major developments at the West Kentish Town Estate, 180 Arlington Road and 14 Parkway, 120 Holborn, and Dobson Close Car Park, as well as a change of use application at 6-17 Tottenham Court Road.
The committee will also review the minutes of the previous meeting held on 3 November 2025.
West Kentish Town Estate Redevelopment
A hybrid planning application for the West Kentish Town Estate, bounded by multiple roads including Queen's Crescent and Grafton Road, is up for discussion. The proposal involves both full and outline planning permissions.
Detailed planning permission is sought for Development Plots A1 and D1, which includes demolishing existing above-ground structures and constructing new buildings for residential dwellings (Class C31) and flexible commercial spaces (Class E2). The detailed plans also include temporary hard and soft landscaping.
Outline planning permission is sought for a phased development of Development Plots A2, A3, B1, C1, D2, D3, E1, E2, F1, F2 and G1. This includes demolishing all existing above-ground structures and erecting new buildings for residential dwellings (Class C3) and flexible commercial spaces (Class E), along with new pathways, play space, and landscaping.
The report pack recommends granting conditional full and outline planning permission, pending referral to the Mayor of London, finalisation of condition wording, and completion of a shadow Section 106 legal agreement.
Redevelopment at 180 Arlington Road and 14 Parkway
The Planning Committee will consider a report regarding the proposed demolition of existing buildings at 180 Arlington Road and 14 Parkway, with adaptation of the existing Parkway frontage. The proposal includes erecting a mixed-use development with leisure and cultural space (Sui Generis3 or Class F14 or Class E) at basement and ground floor levels, affordable housing units (Class C3), purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) units (Sui Generis), and retail at ground floor level (Class E).
The report pack notes that the key benefits of the scheme are the delivery of 244 high-quality student accommodation bedspaces and 49 affordable homes, helping meet Camden's need for housing. It also states that the scheme supports economic development and the Camden Town Town Centre by introducing a high-quality flexible space for leisure or cultural use.
The report pack recommends granting conditional planning permission, pending referral to the Mayor of London, finalisation of condition wording, and completion of a Section 106 legal agreement.
Change of Use at Car Park, Dobson Close
The Planning Committee will consider a report about a planning application for Car Park, Dobson Close, London NW6 4RU. The proposal is for a change of use from garages to mixed-use (Sui Generis) to provide a neighbourhood centre incorporating community event space and affordable workspace. Associated external alterations include installing new windows and doors to the north, south, and west elevations, and installing two air source heat pumps along the north elevation.
The report pack recommends granting conditional planning permission subject to a Shadow Section 106 Legal Agreement.
Extension and Alterations at 120 Holborn

The proposal includes extensions and alterations, including removing rooftop plant and adding an additional storey on the west side (adjacent to Leather Lane) and retaining 10 storeys, with rooftop plant and terraces atop on the east side (Holborn/Hatton Garden). The plans also include facade renewal (replacing stone cladding with metal cladding and replacing window bays), providing new balconies on the Holborn Circus elevation, and reconfiguring the space to provide extended commercial and retail floorspace (Class E) on the ground floor and re-providing affordable jewellery workspace and competitive socialising (sui generis)/Class E space on the lower ground floor.
