Have your say on Camden’s Regis Road Area Guidance

Camden Council is inviting residents, businesses and other interested parties to have their say on its draft Regis Road Area Guidance.

This will act as an addition to our Kentish Town Planning Framework Supplementary Planning Document (SPD), which has already been adopted.

“
Councillor Adam Harrison, Cabinet Member for Planning and a Sustainable Camden

We are committed to unlocking the potential of the Regis Road area.

By transforming this underused area into a thriving, creative and sustainable neighbourhood, we can create a greener and more welcoming space, connecting Gospel Oak with Kentish Town. 

Working closely with local residents, businesses and stakeholders, we will look to ensure this development delivers affordable housing, green spaces, and job opportunities for both the community and wider borough.

The public consultation is open and will run until Monday, 23 December, and I urge anyone with an interest in this area to have their say.

The Regis Road area has been identified as an area for growth in Camden's Local Plan (2017) and an opportunity for comprehensive redevelopment. The Kentish Town Planning Framework, adopted in 2020, following extensive public consultation, sets out a vision and key aims for this area of the borough as an innovative and sustainable mixed-use neighbourhood. This includes industrial, commercial and creative uses such as film studios alongside high-quality homes, including affordable homes, with new green public spaces and improved connectivity, all of which support a diverse local community.

In 2023, Camden took a proactive approach to help bring forward regeneration in this area by agreeing a deal with experienced London developer Yoo Capital. Yoo Capital's vision for the area, which includes a Camden Film Quarter, was the subject of a public consultation in 2023/2024, with Yoo Capital subsequently submitting a masterplan vision to Camden for review.

The Regis Road Area Guidance draws on relevant aspects of Yoo Capital's Masterplan Vision, while also building on the Kentish Town Planning Framework vision and objectives and reflecting changes in local planning since 2020. Importantly, it is a separate Camden document which will provide guidance for comprehensive development in the area.
