O2 Centre West Hampstead

August 2026: Camden’s Planning Committee has approved Landsec’s application to vary its 2022 permission to vary the first phase of development due to ‘viability challenges’, adding 43 additional new homes (resulting in a total of 651) and reducing the number of affordable homes by 92, and an increase of 135 market homes. The percentage of residential floorspace that will be ‘affordable’ in the first phase would be reduced from 35% to 20%.

Alexandra and Ainsworth Estate Rowley Way

The Alexandra and Ainsworth Estate TRA has been campaigning against Camden Council’s proposed works to the alter the existing heating system. They want a different system, one which is sympathetic to the building’s architecture, meets people’s needs and does not cause high levels of carbon emissions. There are also leaking roofs and lack of repairs which have been plaguing Ainsworth residents for years.
