3 Use

The site is 56 Chalk Farm Road, Camden, NW1 8AN. It isoccupied by a 4 storey mixed use terrace with retail on theground floor and residential above. The ground floor is currentlya homeware shop with storage at the rear. The remaining 3floors contain a single 2 bed residential unit with kitchen anddining on 1st floor, living on 2nd floor, and bedrooms on 3rdfloor.

The extension to the existing property will create 2 bed flats onthe 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floor and a 1 bed in the rooftop flat. Alldwellings will have living at the front and sleeping to the rear.The new build block at the rear of the site will create a generous2 bed courtyard flat on the 1st floor with sleeping area located atthe rear of the site, accessed via a glazed corridor.

4 Amount

The site area is 0.018ha. Th edevelopment that makes full useof the potential of a site which currently makes inefficient use ofland.

The shop to the ground floor is retained and refurbished. Withinthe proposal there are a total of 5 new units. This represents anaddition of 4 units to the existing provision. The total densityis 11 habitable rooms. Fig 12 demonstrates how the proposaloptimises the use of the site within the guidance of the LondonPlan.

With an accessibility rating of 6 the site is able to sustain thehighest level of development (see 10. Vehicular and TransportLinks). The proposal has 275 u/ha and 611 hr/h.

This high density makes the best use of the scarce amountof land available in Camden by increasing the amount ofdevelopment on the site. This is in accordance with UDPguidance which recognises the provision of housing as one ofthe most important issues facing the Borough.

“The demand for housing in Camden exceeds supply, anda shortage of land, a growing population and high prices allcontribute to housing pressures. Therefore, housingis the priority land use of the UDP.”

Government Guidance also recognises the need to accomodatesmall households and for the full and effective use of availableland ensuring that optimum densities are reached. This proposalprovides a range of types on an under utilised site.

5 Scale

The proposal is to extend the rear o the property on 3 oorsto align with the building line o the adjacent property. To theront o the property a new stair will infll the area to in ront othe existing set-back area o acade. To the roo a new rootopextension, accessed by this stair. will be stepped back at ahigher level to reduce the massing (fgs 15,22). Stepped backrom both the parapet and the chimney, the extension is sub-ordinate to the existing property.

At the rear and a new 2 storey block is ormed in the position othe existing one storey structure and a new 3 storey extension isadded to the main body o the building extending to the buildingline o the adjacent property

The bulk and mass o the building is in line with the adjacentproperties and seeks to actively engage with the nature o thesite and the surrounding buildings.

To the ront, the new staircase is in line with the brick rontageso the adjacent properties,.The existing rendered acade sitsproud o this line. The head o the parapet matches the roo lineo these properties reinorcing the massing o the block rom no.52-58 (fgs 14,15,17,19).
