New jobs

6
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.
