West End Lane to Finchley Road: Principles for a new place planning guidance

The Council adopted West End Lane to Finchley Road: Principles for a new place as a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) on 24 September 2021

It has been prepared as planning guidance to ensure that  proposals that come forward for the area covered can deliver a range of public benefits.

These benefits should help to meet our Camden Plan ambitions, relevant Development Plan policies and aspirations of the Fortune Green and West Hampstead Neighbourhood Plan in relation to the O2 Centre site, neighbouring sites and immediate surroundings.
