The consultation ran from 11 January to 8 February 2017. This was a pre-application consultation prior to submitting a planning application to Camden Council. 1.2 Information about the proposals was available online. Members of the public and other stakeholders could give their views either by completing a questionnaire or responding by email/post. 1.3 The consultation was publicised through: Invitation to pre-consultation engagement meetings with local groups and immediate neighbours Letters sent out to local residents and businesses Letters and emails sent to local, London-wide and national statutory/non-statutory stakeholder groups Letters sent to owners of properties which are adjacent to the proposed work site. We also walked around the area and spoke to many businesses about the consultation A press release A public exhibition run over three days, where people could speak to the project team 1.4 Before the consultation began, we met three Conservation Area Committees, Camden Town Unlimited and a local business who is an immediate neighbour. 1.5 The consultation received 102 responses, including 95 from members of the public and seven from stakeholders and interest groups. 1.5 We asked “please let us know of any comments you have on our proposals for a development above the new station entrance”. Section six of the report provides a breakdown of the responses to this question from members of the public. Overall, comments from members of the public were; 64 positive or generally supportive about the development, seven neutral and 11 negative. Section seven provides a breakdown of stakeholder responses. 1.6 Since the consultation closed in February 2016 we have engaged further with Camden Council and other stakeholders. We continue to respond to requests for information. We have a project email address [email protected]. We will contact everyone who responded to the consultation and provided us with an email or postal address to let them know when we publish this report. We will also inform these people when we submit our planning application. 1.7 We will be holding a second public consultation on our proposals for a capacity upgrade of the station in June 2017. We also anticipate a third round of consultation prior to submitting a Transport and Works Act Order (TWAO) in 2018 requesting permission to carry out the capacity upgrade. 4 2 Introduction 2.1 We are proposing to substantially upgrade the capacity of Camden Town station. 2.2 An essential part of this capacity upgrade is creating a new station entrance. A possible site for this entrance is on Buck Street, between Camden High Street and Kentish Town Road. This would allow us to provide three new escalators and two lifts. The proposals would provide step-free access from the street to trains. There would be additional routes to platforms below ground, reducing congestion and allowing better passenger movement on and between platforms. We carried out a public consultation on the need for a capacity upgrade in autumn 2015. 2.3 The January 2017 consultation focused on the proposed development above and around the new station entrance. This is referred to throughout this report as the/an “over station development”. 3 Background to the scheme The need for a capacity upgrade of the station 3.1 Camden Town is a unique and exciting area with a wide range of passengers using the station. We are keen to deliver an upgrade that will give Camden the station it deserves. 3.2 The need for a capacity upgrade at Camden Town station has been considered for many years. In 2000, TfL commissioned a study to assess options for a major station capacity upgrade. The resulting scheme required the demolition and redevelopment of an entire urban block surrounded by Camden High Street, Kentish Town Road and Buck Street within the Camden Town Conservation Area. The application to develop the station was unsuccessful in 2004. Although the transport case was accepted, the Transport and Works Act Order (TWAO) was not granted because of concerns regarding the proposed building above and around the new station and the impact on neighbouring residents and businesses. 3.3 Since 2004 many more people have been using the station, with weekday passenger demand rising by 45 per cent over the last ten years. By 2021, passenger demand for Camden is expected to grow by a further 40 per cent on weekdays. Additionally, impacts to neighbouring stations have resulted in over a 70 per cent increase in customers travelling to Mornington Crescent station when Camden Town station is busy. The existing congestion problems will only get worse unless there is a substantial upgrade of the capacity of the station. 3.4 The existing station is too small to allow this much needed expansion. We are working with Camden Council to develop designs for a new second station entrance on Buck Street, about 100m north of the current station entrance. Hawley Infant School which occupies part of this site has relocated to Hawley Wharf, north of Regent’s Canal. Our proposals aim to: Ease congestion Increase space to allow for growth in passenger numbers 5 Ensure the station does not have to routinely operate as exit-only Provide step-free access to all trains 3.5 We carried out a public consultation between 12 October and 11 December 2015 on our proposals to upgrade the capacity of the station. There was strong local support with 95% of respondents agreeing there was a need for a capacity upgrade of the station. Over station development 3.6 In order to construct the proposed new entrance, we would need to demolish a number of buildings around Stucley Place, Buck Street and Kentish Town Road. Once the new station entrance is complete, the Buck Street site will create an opportunity to build much-needed housing above the new station along with retail and commercial space. 3.7 We are supporting the Mayor in addressing the challenges London faces by providing new homes and jobs in the best connected parts of the Capital. This development is part of our plan to deliver 10,000 homes across London using our existing assets. The Buck Street site forms part of our wider commercial approach to use our assets to generate non-fare revenue. This is re-invested to deliver a modern and affordable public transport network. 6 Understanding the local setting 3.8 The Buck Street site sits in the heart of Camden in a built-up urban area. The existing buildings on the site do not fill it entirely. The new station entrance and development above it will occupy the full extent of the site. 3.9 Understanding the impact of this on neighbouring buildings is an important factor in establishing a design which: Has an acceptable impact on the daylight and outlook enjoyed by property owners who overlook the site Respects the setting of the Trinity United Reformed Church Improves the appearance of the town centre and limits its impact on the Camden Town and Regent’s Canal Conservation Areas which border the site Creates a development that is in keeping with the nearby quiet of Stucley Place, the more typical side-street of Buck Street, and the busier Kentish Town Road which forms one of Camden Town’s primary streets Establishes a mix of active street-level uses which provide a sense of safety and security at all times of day and night 3.10 The new entrance will also impose some restrictions on the design of over station development. These include the need to: Create a forecourt in front of the station entrance Accommodate station support activities (such as refuse collection, fire escape routes, ventilation and safety equipment) at street level Keep the station entrance and the area above the escalators separate from the stairs and lifts that will serve the over station development Create a suitable ‘deck’ above the station that is strong enough to support the development 3.11 These considerations have informed our designs for the layout, uses and scale of the over station development. 7 Homes and businesses 3.12 We would like to include commercial space for small businesses at the lower levels to replace some of the workshops being removed to accommodate the new station entrance. On the upper levels we want to build high quality new homes that assist in addressing the housing needs in Camden. We are proposing to: Deliver around 60-70 homes and we will seek to maximise the number of affordable homes. We have an overall target of 50 per cent affordable housing across our sites, and the exact level on this scheme will be determined as the detail of the project progresses, subject to the normal viability tests.

  • Draft Local List and Supporting Guidance
    Camden’s Local List Consultation Draft October 2013 Camden’s Local List - Consultation Draft Consultation on draft Local List and supporting guidance We are consulting on this draft version of Camden’s Local List and the supporting guidance which is set out in amendments to Camden Planning Guidance 1: Design. If you would like to comment on the draft Local List, suggest new additions, or comment on the supporting guidance please visit: www.wearecamden.org/camden-local-list. The consultation runs from 28 October - 20 December 2013. Why do we need a Local List in Camden? Some parts of Camden’s historic environment are already well documented and protected through designa- tion (e.g. listed buildings). A Local List contains elements of the historic environment that are not already des- ignated but which nonetheless contribute to a sense of place, local distinctiveness and civic pride. These are known as ‘non-designated heritage assets’. These features help make a place special for local people; they carry history, traditions, stories and memories into the present day and add depth of meaning to a modern place. They help give Camden its distinctive identity. What does it mean to be on the List? Local Listing identifies locally significant buildings, landscapes and features of heritage value – but like any designation - it is not a preservation order. Locally listed buildings can still be altered, or in rare cases demol- ished, once the case has been made and all other options have been explored as part of the planning process. The Local List and the accompanying Camden Planning Guidance help ensure that change is balanced with the heritage significance of the building or feature in question.

XonDon: M'^CORQUODALE & CO., LIMITED, PRINTERS, CARDINGTON STREET. 1904. ^7 A77373S" PREFACE. Owing to suggestions made from time to time by old comrades in railway life, I have been induced to put together some record of the part I have taken in connection with the inner working of Railways; going back to very early experiences, and through gradual developments extending over a long series of years, to the time when it became advisable for me to retire from the daily pressure of the work. A railway service commencing in 1847, carries one back a long way towards association with those who were the actual pioneers of our railway system ; from whom we learnt our first lessons, by whose successes we have profited, by whose failures we have acquired knowledge ; and on whose foundation we have endeavoured to raise a superstructure of so sub- stantial a character, that those who follow in our steps will have no reason to be ashamed of their predecessors.
