New jobs
- 617
- 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
- 43%
- 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.
