| 2020/3461/P | Camden has proposed redevelopment of 2 Chester Road to provide a hostel for the temporary accommodation of homeless families. The development would comprise 50 new dwellings in three blocks (3 and 4 storeys) arranged around a central communal garden. The application proposes demolition of the existing building, until recently used as a hostel for single person temporary accommodation. Though DPNF recognises that provision of a facility of this nature is consistent with the objective of the Dartmouth Park Neighbourhood Plan to support a variety of housing and community facilities in the area, we do not support the development as currently proposed. This is on the following grounds: the test for demolition in relation to the existing well-designed building has not been met, the proposed development is excessively large and domineering for the site, the design does not meet the standard that we would expect of social housing of this nature in terms of space and provision such as balconies, and the design including the materials proposed for the facade are out of keeping with the character of the area. | |
