187 - 199 West End Lane Community Planning Day:
Saturday 2 July 2011


The local community were invited to attend the 187 - 199 West End Lane Community Planning Day to participate in creating a new Vision for the future of the site.  The event was open to everyone with an interest in West End Lane.

At the Community Planning Day people had the opportunity to participate in workshops and hands-on planning groups to discuss key issues such as layout and landscape design, sustainability, getting about and the local economy.  David Laycock from Ballymore presented throughout and the design team led by JTP will facilitated the day.  This event was an opportunity to share local knowledge and ideas and contribute to the emerging Vision for the site.  Poeple were welcome to pop in for a short while, a few hours or stay for the entire time if they could.  Team members were on hand to explain what’s happening.

Following the Community Planning Day the design team led by JTP analysed and summarised the outcomes and developed an illustrated Vision and indicative masterplan.  This was reported back to the community at 7.30pm on Wednesday 13 July 2011 at St James Church.



Background

Ballymore Group and Network Rail as joint landowners are seeking to regenerate this important site (outlined in red on the event flyer).  Given Camden Council’s emphasis on the delivery of new homes in the borough, the landowners intend to bring forward proposals for a residential led, mixed use scheme.  We are at an early stage in the process and the aim is to design a high quality development that fits well into the locality and responds to its highly accessible location.  John Thompson & Partners (JTP) have been appointed as architects and masterplanners for the scheme and to facilitate the community planning process which will inform the planning application to be submitted later this year.
