Open spaces
- 191
- square metres
How did we calculate this?
Open space includes land and areas of water (such as rivers and canals) which can be used for sport, recreation and relaxation. Applicants calculate the amount of open space, but it's checked by council planners when assessing the application.
New jobs
- 117
- new roles
How did we calculate this?
The council estimates how many new jobs a new development will produce based on the size and type of development. This estimate is based on the Employment Density Guide (3rd addition) produced by Homes & Community Agency (2015). A summary of this guide is published as part of the Camden Planning Guidance for Employment sites and business premises (Appendix 1).
Carbon emissions
- 11.9%
- less than minimum requirements
How did we calculate this?
Building regulations set the amount of carbon emissions a development can generate once it is in use. This shows how far below the legal requirements the proposal is.
Pedestrian and vehicle access
Access to theatre and restaurant from Shaftesbury Avenue, SW corner of the site. Pedestrian entrance to hotel from Stacey Street, via two dedicated lifts. Pedestrian access along St Giles Passage for artists and workers to access back of house. Staff entrance point on New Compton Street. Vehicles would access from New Compton Street for servicing.
