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 historic interest of which it is desirable to preserve.” Designation provides the basis for policies designed to preserve or enhance the special interest of such an area.

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 DEVELOPMENT SHOWCASE WELCOME London is renowned as one of the world’s most exciting global cities, and rightly so. Alongside the English language, convenient time zone and world-class education system, the diverse culture and eclectic mix of lifestyles make it a vibrant place to call home. As well as having four world heritage sites, eight spacious royal parks and over 200 museums and galleries, London is also a leading centre for finance, technology and creativity and is one of the safest, most stable cities in the world. Education forms an enormous part of the appeal of this city. Students flock from all over the globe to study in London, and whether they buy or rent, there are so many places to choose to live and study. Security, lifestyle, transport links and amenities are all important factors for students and their parents. I know from my own experiences of helping families to find the ideal place in London for their children to live, that the new homes currently on offer fulfil all these criteria and more. The quality of new build homes is already world class in London, and is only getting better. Despite challenging market conditions, in the last year we’ve continued to accelerate. We’ve grown our business and added to our portfolio of London offices, opening our Battersea and Nine Elms office, which is going from strength to strength and really embracing the pace of change and regeneration in this exciting new neighbourhood. We continue to work with the very best housebuilders and developers, and are proud of the strength of these relationships.
