The Camden Council Planning Committee's meeting on Monday, 15 June 2026, is set to address several significant planning applications. The agenda includes proposals for major redevelopment projects in Kentish Town and West Hampstead, focusing on housing, employment, and community facilities.

Land at Regis Road, London NW5 3EW

A substantial redevelopment is proposed for the Land at Regis Road, London NW5 3EW¹, encompassing the demolition of existing structures, including part of the Grade II listed Kentish Town Police Station², and the phased construction of new buildings. The proposal includes residential development (Class C3), commercial, business and service uses (Class E), film production uses (Sui Generis), visitor accommodation (Class C1), a reprovided recycling facility (Sui Generis), local community uses (Class F2), a cinema (Sui Generis), a drinking establishment (Sui Generis), and a studio experience/museum (Sui Generis). The recommendation is to grant conditional planning permission, subject to referral to the Mayor of London, finalisation of conditions, and completion of a Section 106 Agreement³.

The report pack details a significant increase in residential floorspace, aiming to deliver 513 homes, of which 271 would be affordable. It also outlines the creation of a Camden Film Quarter with extensive employment floorspace, educational facilities for the London Screen Academy and National Film and Television School, and associated infrastructure. The proposal is noted to be controversial, with numerous objections from local groups and residents concerned about its scale, massing, and impact on heritage assets and the surrounding urban grain. The report acknowledges potential harm to the setting of conservation areas and listed buildings, including St Paul's Cathedral, but concludes that the public benefits, particularly housing provision and economic benefits to the film industry, outweigh these concerns.

The plans also detail infrastructure improvements, including new links and landscaping, and sustainability measures. The report highlights the need for a Section 106 Agreement to secure various planning obligations, including contributions towards public transport, healthcare facilities, and employment and training initiatives.

The O2 Masterplan Site, Finchley Road, London NW3 6LU

The committee is also scheduled to consider an application under Section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 for The O2 Masterplan Site, Finchley Road, London NW3 6LU⁴. This application seeks to vary conditions of a previous planning permission to allow for amendments to the Detailed Element of the masterplan. These amendments include additional height, alterations to building design, massing, and footprint, the replacement of a block with a pavilion, additional residential floorspace, revisions to affordable housing and unit mix, and changes to community floorspace, commercial floorspace, and parking provisions.

The proposal aims to address changes in Building Regulations, particularly concerning fire safety, and to improve the viability of the scheme in light of current economic challenges. This includes bringing forward more housing earlier in the development phases. The report notes a reduction in the proportion of affordable housing from 35% to 20% across the masterplan, a change attributed to current market conditions and the introduction of the Mayor's Time Limited Route for housebuilding.

The application also involves amendments to the community centre provision and the overall housing mix. The report details the proposed changes to building heights, massing, and architectural expression, aiming to maintain a high quality of design and public realm. The proposal is subject to referral to the Mayor of London and completion of a Section 106 Agreement.
