The statement is for the use of local residents, community groups, businesses, property owners, architects and developers as an aid to the formulation and design of development proposals and change in the area. The statement will be used by the Council in the assessment of all development proposals. Camden has a duty under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 to designate as conservation areas any “areas of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance.” Designation provides the basis for policies designed to preserve or enhance the special interest of such an area. Designation also introduces a general control over the demolition of unlisted buildings. The Council’s policies and guidance for Conservation Areas are contained in the Unitary Development Plan (UDP) and Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG). This Statement is part of SPG and gives additional detailed guidance in support of UDP policies. The Statement describes the character of the area, provides an outline of the key issues and identifies development pressures which are currently a cause of concern.

  • A Guide to Camden's Parks and Open Spaces
    A Guide to Camden’s Parks and Open Spaces Contents Kilburn, West Hampstead, Swiss Cottage and Primrose Hill 2 Gospel Oak, Hampstead, Highgate and Kentish Town 7 Camden Town, Somers Town, Bloomsbury, Holborn and Fitzrovia 12 Useful contacts and how to get involved 21 Alphabetical list of parks, addresses, features and travel details 27 Index 32 1 Introduction Camden Council manages nearly 70 parks and open spaces. They range from small neighbourhood playgrounds to grand city squares, historic graveyards to allotments. These oases dotted throughout the Borough, complement the bigger and somewhat better known areas that the Council does not manage, such as Hampstead Heath, Primrose Hill and Regents Park. In recent years Camden has spent a good deal of money improving its parks and open spaces. In addition, supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, over £5 million has been spent on restoring five historic parks (Hampstead Cemetery, Russell Square, St George’s Gardens, St Pancras’ Gardens and Waterlow Park). We have increased the numbers of gardeners and attendants in parks – please let them know what you think of our service, you can identify them by their uniforms. In addition we have Parks Officers on duty every day of the year, backed up by a mobile security patrol. As well as managing public parks, the Parks and Open Spaces Service looks after the Borough’s trees, runs the allotment service and manages a number of large grounds maintenance contracts for other Council departments. We also lead on the Camden Biodiversity Action Plan. We would like you to think of this Guide as a welcoming invitation to Camden’s parks and open spaces.

What is less well known is that it is also one of the best places in the world to enjoy wildlife, and to acquire the skills of a naturalist and wildlife photographer. A large and varied network of reserves and some of the best wildlife-visitor infrastructure in the world, means that London is a surprisingly good destination for wildlife photographers, naturalists and tourists. The presence of a number of local natural history clubs and societies who organise field meetings led by outstanding all-round naturalists means it is also probably unmatched in the potential it offers for people to build their skills as naturalists. Furthermore, London has a long history of having some of the world’s pre-eminent scientific and biological institutions, together with smaller local societies also with long histories staging public talks ranging from cutting edge science to discovering wildlife in your backyard. London is amazing for enjoying wildlife and for developing field skills. For tourism companies, London is attractive with its high density of affluent travellers with an interest in wildlife.

By that time he had already worked for four years as a ships draughtsman at the famous submarine shipyards of Barrow in Furness followed by a further four years at Goldsmiths College, a hotbed of enterprise and home to the emerging group known as the Y.B.A.s or young British Artists. Essentially a painter he had identified in himself a desire to etch. The desire to etch is, as an early tutor of mine, Julian Trevelyan RA, insisted, a kind of addiction. It takes one to know one, and over the centuries Durer, Rembrandt, Goya, Picasso, Hockney and many, many others have embraced etching with a compulsive passion, reveling in its freedoms and parameters, as well as its poetic resonances. John Duffin is of that ilk, a true etching addict. A man with a limitless work ethic, John instinctively understood what etching could achieve that no other medium could. A voracious appetite for learning and enjoying hands on skills and influences, an engaging optimism coupled with enormous energy are fundamental to his being.

The workshop was facilitated by Biljana Savic, independent planning advisor and facilitator, and organised with the support of London Borough of Camden (LBC). The aims of the workshop were to: . Develop further ideas and views regarding the development in the Growth Area, expressed by local residents and other stakeholders during the development of Fortune Green & West Hampstead Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) and subsequently . Develop spatial framework options for further consultation with residents, landowners and developers active in the area . Identify key issues and develop initial ideas for a potential future framework or other planning policy / guidance. This report summarises the background to and the results of the The workshop included a site visit, a number of technical briefings workshop. It does not represent the conclusion of the NDF’s work outlining the planning context, economic development, social and on the proposals for the Growth Area, but acts as a marker of environmental opportunities and constraints, as well as the progress made at the workshop and a useful summary for further neighbourhood planning history and summary of the community consultation.
