Fitzrovia Area Action Plan (FAAP) - proposed main modifications

Overview

We are preparing an Area Action Plan for Fitzrovia in response to continued significant pressure for development in the area.

The Area Action Plan will help to shape the future of Fitzrovia by:

• developing a vision for the area shared by the Council, key community groups and key landowners; and
• ensuring that growth takes place in a way that balances the need for residential, institutional and commercial uses and minimises harm to residential amenity;
• coordinating development proposals across a number of significant sites; and
• ensuring that growth delivers the maximum benefits to the area.

In November 2012 to January 2013, we carried out formal consultation on the Proposed Submission Plan. This is the version of the Area Action Plan that is now being considered by an independent inspector at a public examination.

We then sent the Plan and the public comments off to a Government-appointed inspector for independent examination in April 2013.

As part of the examination in July 2013, there were public hearings and discussions with people who made comments on the Plan.

Why your views matter

In the light of these discussions, the Council has put forward some changes to the Plan.  We would like you to let the independent inspector know your view about the changes. Send us your comments by Friday 8 November 2013 to:

Email: ldfprogrammeofficer@tiscali.co.uk

                    London Borough of Camden,

Your comments will be passed to the independent inspector and to the Council, and they will also be available to the public. The independent inspector will take the proposed changes and your comments about them into account before she sends her final report to the Council. We expect to receive the inspector's report in December 2013.
