We are proposing to rebuild the existing hostel for single homeless people at Chester Road to provide temporary accommodation for homeless families.
Public consultation on the proposals took place in 2019-2020. After considering the feedback received, the design has now been finalised and a planning application will be submitted at the end of July 2020.
Please see the document below.
Any further comments on the proposals should be made directly to the planners once the application has been registered.
The re-development of a former hostel at 2 Chester Road will provide 50 new temporary homes for families, with ancillary areas, staff room and office. The building will be 3 and 4 storeys in height. The project also includes enhancements to the public footpath to the north and a new public courtyard for the residents of Chester Road.
Planning permission was granted on 11th May 2021 under reference: 2020/3461/P. Please visit: https://planningrecords.camden.gov.uk for full information on the planning permission.
