The Planning Committee of Camden Council is scheduled to consider several planning applications at its upcoming meeting. The most significant items on the agenda involve proposals for mixed-use redevelopment in the King's Cross area and a refurbishment project on Ridgmount Street.

Redevelopment at Camley Street and Cedar Way

A major focus of the meeting will be the consideration of two associated planning applications for the redevelopment of sites at 120-136 Camley Street (Site A) and 3-30 Cedar Way (Site B) in the King's Cross area. The proposals involve the demolition of existing buildings and the erection of new structures to create mixed-use developments. These will incorporate residential units (Class C3) and commercial spaces (Class E), alongside landscaping, public realm improvements, and parking facilities. The officer reports recommend granting conditional full planning permission for both applications, subject to referral to the Mayor of London for direction and the finalisation of conditions and legal agreements. Officer Christopher Smith is listed as the contact for these applications.

Refurbishment at 7 Ridgmount Street

Another key item for discussion is the proposed refurbishment, partial demolition, and extension of the existing building at 7 Ridgmount Street, London WC1E 7AE. The plans include the demolition of the existing fourth floor, extensions at the fourth and fifth floor levels, infill of car parking spaces, rationalisation of office floorplates, a basement extension, alterations to street facades, new landscaped roof terraces and balconies, cycle parking, and public realm improvements. The recommendation is to grant conditional planning permission, contingent on the completion of a Section 106 Legal Agreement. Officer Edward Hodgson is associated with this application.

Hotel Development at New College Parade

The committee will also review a proposal for a new hotel at 9-12 New College Parade, London NW3 5EX. This application involves the demolition of existing retail units and ancillary offices, with partial retention of the facade and basement. The development would include an extension to the existing basement and the erection of a five-storey hotel above it, classified under Use Class C1¹. The recommendation is to grant conditional planning permission, subject to a Section 106 Legal Agreement. Officer Brendan Versluys is listed for this application.

The meeting will also cover procedural matters, including the Development Management Structure and Planning Committee Procedure , with documents available for these topics.
