Chester Road temporary accommodation
Overview
The re-development of a former hostel at 2 Chester Road will provide 50 new temporary homes for families, with common areas, staff room and office. The buildings 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.
What's happening on site?
Goody Demolition Ltd have completed the demolition of the old hostel building. From August 2022, the site has temporarily been handed to Farrans, the contractor for the Highgate Newtown redevelopment until end of November 2023.
Morgan Sindall has been appointed as a trusted partner and have entered into a Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA) with Camden. The PCSA includes surveys, detailed designs and planning and other regulatory obligations that will enable the construction works to proceed. Morgan Sindall is currently evaluating the site and preparing the draft Construction Management Plan (CMP). We expect to consult the local residents on the draft CMP in late January / early February 2024.
