Camden Town station capacity upgrade – over station development Hawley Wharf development site Viacom Building Elephant House Trinity United Sainsburys Church Project background continued Buck Street Buck’s Head Pub St Michael’s (Camden) Market Church Development above the station In order to construct the new entrance, we must 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. 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 the Capital 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. Approvals process We want your views on our initial proposals for a building above the Proposed entrance station. We want to make sure we deliver a high quality design that takes on board the views of the local community. We will be seeking planning permission from Camden Council for this during 2017 and there will be a further opportunity for you to comment formally as part of the planning application process. Buck Street The scale of the station improvement work means it has to be assessed through a separate Transport and Works Act Order (TWAO) application. A TWAO is a special form of statutory authority for the construction, operation and maintenance of railways, and some other forms of transport systems. We will be seeking your feedback on our proposals for the Existing entrance station in the spring, including the appearance of the new station entrance, Camden High Street before we submit our TWAO application to the Secretary of State for Road Town Kentish Transport.

The Retail existing buildings on the site do not fill it entirely. The new station entrance Business space and development above it will occupy the full extent of the site. N Station forecourt 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 Kentish Town Road • 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 Hawley Crescent 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 The new entrance will also impose some restrictions on the design of Buck Street the building above the station and the surrounding area. These include Stucley Place 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 development above • Create a suitable ‘deck’ above the station that is strong enough to Camden High Street support the development Buck Street These considerations have informed our designs for the layout, uses and scale of the development over the station.

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. At this stage we are targeting a policy compliant scheme and expect to achieve a minimum of 35 per cent • Balconies or roof terraces • A landscaped courtyard will provide a place for residents to relax and play Entrance lobbies for residents located on Stucley Place and • 3D diagram showing the proposed mix of uses Kentish Town Road • Space along Stucley Place and Kentish Town Road on ground and first floor levels for small businesses Key • Retail space adjacent to the station entrance Second floor and above • Spaces for secure cycle parking and refuse collection New homes with direct access at street level Courtyard space for residents There will be no parking for new residents.

    Report No: 5 Subject: Questions to Bob Kiley and Tim O’Toole Report of: Director of Secretariat Date: 11 June 2003 Questions to Bob Kiley 121 / 2003 - Cheap Fare Promotion Andrew Pelling I could not find the cheap fares summer promotion in connection with the Totally London campaign on the TfL website. I would like to ask what degree of co-ordination there was in giving good notice of this cheap fare promotion and indeed what information was provided in a timely fashion to bus companies about the cheap fare promotion. 122 / 2003 - Trams Andrew Pelling On 15 May this year, the Caterham-bound 407 bus broke down at the West Croydon end of Tamworth Road. Trams were unable to get past as a result. Could you advise as to how many times tram operations have had to be suspended owing to vehicles being unable to be moved from the tram lines. 123 / 2003 - Tramlink Andrew Pelling Early last Autumn I posed a question to the Mayor about "the public scandal of those who live close to the Tramlink being provided with no compensation whatsoever for disturbance or loss of value to their properties."He very kindly responded that TfL had completed its legal review of the situation and was now satisfied that the Land Compensation Act did apply.The Mayor advised that TfL was in the process of agreeing on a strategy for handling the 1,500 claims received and that those that were substantiated would be settled as quickly as possible. But eight months on little has changed.

  • Has It Held the Warm June Weather Original
    1 Has it held the warm June weather? Has it held the warm June weather? ‘Has it Held The Warm June Weather’ 2 He rambled home from Camden Town with drunken song and cheeks aglow, yet there was something in his air that told of kingship long ago. I sighed and inwardly sighed with grief, that one so high should fall so low. Yet as I walked slowly behind him ,I saw him gently pluck some red blooded fuchsia petals and grinding them in his prayer palmed hands cast them upwards ,slowly, as if in consecration - towards the sunset sky. Some old sweet rapture through him went and kindled in his bloodshot eyes. I turned and inwardly burned with joy, that one so low should rise so high. I overtook him and walked briskly ahead towards Hampstead to the Olde Bull and Bush. It was not full summer yet but there was promise in the June heat of long hot days to come. Basking in the sun with my pint of lager, I watched ‘my friend’ negotiate the traffic on the road, ignoring the zebra crossing! and with such swift precision safely get to the other side; brushing past me he too went into the pub. When he came back out he reluctantly cast libations of his ale to the ground as he struggled to find a place to sit in the busy pub front. I pre-empted his predicament and eagerly responded to his eventual eye contact indicating for him to join me. Putting his pint down steadily and holding on to the wooden picnic bench and placed his right leg firmly under the table, keeping his left leg free outside.
