My experiences in local planning are similar. If a developer has the money to make enough appeals, eventually a regional planning inspector might rule in their favour. Given the potential sums involved with the development, I can see why they’ve been so persistent. In a way, it’s good to hear that Camden Council have at least tried to meet the issue half way. Where I live down in Surrey, the local councils usually roll over to developers at the first sniff of public dissent... |

One of the walks in the Time Out Book of London Walks (vol 1), "Of Kites and Keats" I think it's called, goes all round this area, including Little Green Street, and then up to Parliment Hill. It's a fine walk and a very nice part of Camden/Kentish Town to explore. |
|
Another excellent spot for cobbles in Camden is around the Gilbey's Yard area at the top of Oval Road. I suspect that some of them at least are going to be replaced soon, as vehicles involved in the pestilential redevelopment of the old Jim Henson Creature Shop seem to have done some damage. |

I used to walk this way to school! Kentish Town is sorely lacking in beauty spots, so I hope the developers hold off as long as possible! |
|
Judging from your photos, if this is the only access then it should have been turned down for development anyway. Insufficient capacity for extra residents, poor emergency services access etc. |
|
That's a great point Rick raises - can you imagine a fire truck trying to negotiate those cobbles and bollards on the way to a fire at the hypothetical future College Lane development? |
|
If only they could demolish the entire eyesore ingestre road estate behind and redevelop the lot. That'd solve the problem. |
