London Borough of Camden

Proposed Development

Change of use of part ground and first floor from existing barber shop and ancillary storage space / living accommodation to create a self-contained 1-bed flat; alterations to existing ground floor rear extension and installation of new rear window and door; alterations to shopfront to create separate residential access.

Application Type

Full Planning Permission

Development Address

128 Camden Road, London, NW1 9EE

DEVELOPMENT PROJECT SUMMARY

SM Planning assisted a client in obtaining planning permission for the change of use of part of the ground and first floor of a barber shop to a new residential dwelling and associated external alterations in Camden Broadway Conservation Area. By virtue that a viable commercial unit would remain, and the proposal would deliver a new dwelling to the local housing stock, we argued that the merits of the proposal outweigh the loss of retail floorspace. Other considerations included the impact upon the character and appearance of the area, neighbouring amenity and the living conditions of future occupiers.
