The applicant The applicants are King’s Cross General Partner Ltd and Urbanest (UK), and the architect is Glenn Howells Architects Strategic issues This is a full planning application for new student housing, although outline permission for student housing already exists, as part of the wider King’s Cross Central masterplan. There were outstanding transport, design and energy matters from the consultation stage, and the Mayor and Deputy Mayor have also reconsidered the development against tall buildings policies. There are now no outstanding strategic issues. The Council’s decision Camden Council has resolved to grant permission for the development, subject to a section 106 legal agreement and no intervention from the Mayor. Recommendation That Camden Council be advised that the Mayor is content for it to determine the case itself, subject to any action that the Secretary of State may take, and does not therefore wish to direct refusal or direct that he is to be the local planning authority. Context 1 On 7 September 2010, the Mayor of London received documents from Camden Council notifying him of a planning application of potential strategic importance to develop the above site for the above uses.

  • Barking-Gospel Oak Line User Group

    Barking-Gospel Oak Line User Group

    BARKING-GOSPEL OAK LINE USER GROUP www.barking-gospeloak.org.uk RESPONSE TO CROSS-LONDON RUS CONSULTATION Introduction The Barking-Gospel Oak line (BGOL) is one of the few unelectrified routes in an otherwise electrified area. Electrification would be highly desirable, yet it does not feature in the RUS. This is very disappointing, as it would bring a number of advantages: electric-hauled freight trains would be able to use it, and the operator of the Silverlink Metro/North London railway passenger concession would only have one type of rolling stock to maintain. An added advantage is that 3 or 4-car electric units would cope better with increasing passenger loadings than the existing 2-car DMUs, which have difficult coping with peak loadings even now. We believe that without investment in the electrification of the Barking – Gospel Oak Line and other link lines considered in this RUS (Cricklewood to Acton Wells, Acton Wells to Acton Main Line and the Kew Curves) that many of the benefits that this RUS seeks to achieve will not be achievable. We strongly urge Network Rail to upgrade the Felixstowe- Ely – Nuneaton line to the W10 standard loading gauge, so that freight which has no need to pass through London can avoid it altogether and free up much-needed space for additional passenger services and additional freight traffic originating from the planned new Shellhaven development, which is envisaged on both the Barking – Gospel Oak and North London Lines. The same applies to reinstating Cambridge-Bletchley-Bedford. (NB – some existing freight paths on Barking-Gospel Oak have never been used!).
