New homes
- 6
- new homes
- 100%
- affordable housing
How did we calculate this?
The number of self contained homes that are being proposed. This includes affordable, social and private housing. Larger schemes might have a range showing the minimum and maximum number of homes if the total number is going to be decided later.
Affordable housing is a term used to cover different types of housing that are less costly than housing on the private market. This might be social rented housing, affordable rented housing or housing which the government helps people to buy a proportion of. It can be shown as a proportion of the total number of homes, or as a proportion of the total residential floorspace.
New jobs
- 180-700
- 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
- 55%
- 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
Widened pedestrian access between Kentish Town Road and Camden Road, with public realm improvements within the site. Car free with no new vehicular access.
