THE SITE
The site is in a historic neighbourhood of London surrounded by heritage landmarks and is situated in Camden, Zone 2, London. The location is ideal for residents because of its proximity to public transport and to central London, making living and working in the city a reality for many.
Camden Council is suffering from a shortage of social housing homes with over 7,000 households on the social housing waiting list in 2021/22. Since then, demand has continued to grow, and the council is keen to see affordable housing projects across the borough. This development aims to help address just some of the demand, by providing between 230 and 240 new affordable homes.
In July 2017 Camden Council identified Juniper Crescent as part of the wider Camden Goods Yard Framework area to deliver a significant increase in the number, mix, type and affordability of homes. The regeneration of Juniper Crescent provides One Housing and Countryside, the opportunity to deliver an uplift of affordable homes in a scheme that will provide 50% affordable homes (by habitable room).* Additionally, the proposals provide us with the opportunity to ensure that all homes comply with or exceed London Space Standards and ensure that all homes will have level access, improved amenity spaces and public realm. Currently 81% homes do not comply with current size standards and there are no lifts on the estate.
