The project is ambitious for a number of reasons – but in terms of this Business Plan, most importantly because it will provide a complete step change in the level of commercial activity onsite. Turnover will increase onsite fourfold to around £1m p.a. as a direct result of the project , and expenditure will increase by around a third. This Business Plan provides a detailed assessment of the forecast operational performance of Marble Hill House and Park under the project.

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.

  • Escapade « Campagnarde » a Hampstead
    ESCAPADE « CAMPAGNARDE » A HAMPSTEAD Distance: 5 à 6 Km. Cette balade peut évidemment s’envisager pour la journée entière. Dans ce cas, nous vous conseillons en option de visiter le superbe cimetière de High Gate (où est notamment enterré Karl Marx) situé un peu à l’Est de Hampstead Heath. (Voir plus bas) Conseil pratique : Si vous souhaitez visiter la partie Ouest du cimetière de Highgate (la plus intéressante), programmez alors la présente balade un jour de semaine et réservez votre billet à l’avance sur internet car le week-end c’est beaucoup plus compliqué. (Voir plus bas) Sur le Parcours Fenton House La Fenton House est une belle demeure en brique rouge du 17 éme siècle transformée en charmant petit musée dédié notamment aux instruments de musique de l’époque. Sa visite n’est pas incontournable mais elle vous offre la possibilité de goûter à l’atmosphère d’une demeure anglaise de cette époque. La vue assez impressionnante de Londres du haut du balcon ainsi que la beauté de ses petits jardins en font une petite halte plutôt sympathique. Son entrée est hélas payante et les tarifs un peu exagérés à notre goût. Tarifs : Adultes £8 Enfants £4 Familles £20. Ouvert tous les jours 11h/17h Hampstead Grove, London Kenwood House La Kenwood House est un superbe manoir construit au 18 ème siècle et agrandi à plusieurs reprises au siècle suivant par ses différents propriétaires pour constituer aujourd’hui un ensemble architectural remarquable d’élégance. Entouré du magnifique écrin de verdure du Hampstead Heath, la finesse de son agencement intérieur, sa superbe bibliothèque de même que la présence de nombreux tableaux de maîtres raviront les amateurs d’art.
