Murphy’s Yard Community Plan

Murphys application is live. Camden's design review panel say: "The bulk, height and massing of residential blocks is excessive and…have a significant and unacceptable impact on important views from Parliament Hill. The amount of accommodation should be reduced or redistributed"

Today @CooperationTown members and staff stood in solidarity with @unitetheunion members sacked by Murphys and with neighbours involved in the @MurphyNw5 fight against gentrification.

@JamesLabour @CamdenLabour @hstplabour @SylviaMcnamara_ Oh no, this suggests that they’re not bothering with any co-design or meaningful engagement, which the Council urged them to after the same approach last time fell expensively flat. @DartmouthparkNF @KentishTownNF @OfKentish

@MurphyNw5 @CamdenLabour @hstplabour @SylviaMcnamara_ Latest update is that they’ve started discussions with Camden now ahead of submission on the main issues (viability, density etc). I know they’re hoping to have submitted by the end of this year and we will be keeping an eye on progress.

🗓️Today marks 500 days since we were elected as Kentish Town North’s first councillors! 🌹 We’ve been busy standing up for our communities and supporting residents. Here’s just a few things we’ve done 👇

Here’s how things are progressing at West Kentish Town.

The Phoenix proposals in Lewes could be a template for sites like Murphy’s Yard in our patch. Find out more about it + plans for Highgate Studios at our AGM on Thursday. @CECamden @MurphyNw5 @tkentishtown @KentishTownNF @sianberry @Camron_aref @JamesLabour @HeathHands

Join us at our AGM this Thursday evening. Hear about: - what we’re up to - plans for development at Highgate Studios - the Phoenix in Sussex - a different approach to development

The proposed new block of student flats at the old Archway hospital is erm…quite something. @diarmaid_w @KayaJunction we really want the site to be redeveloped - and the other blocks seem grand, height wise…but the southern one is like…ridiculous. Which they must know?

The report of the Murphy’s Yard community-led design session can be read on our website: dpnf.org.uk/index.php/2022… Loads of great ideas for making it a development that local people can get behind.

an idea for court houses,workshops,a pub, alleyways and a little square… kings cross

@PpeterPeter There’s a big site in NW5 that may be looking for a new designer…. And definitely needs a new design approach.

Weston Homes clearly neither understand nor wish to understand how towns work. I hope that they sell on their stake in Norwich to someone who does architectsjournal.co.uk/news/developer…

Today we hosted @CamdenMakers and the local Neighbourhood Forum at our space in Gospel Oak for a community-led workshop to respond to - and improve on! - a local development plan. Neighbours discussed proposals and drafted demands, building community power from below! 1/
