Anyone who has seen our recent hard copy Spotlight will know that there are lots of development proposals around at the moment.
Wednesday night was the opportunity for Linden Homes and Wates Developments to unveil their latest proposals for Gondar Gardens.
 |
| The previous, rejected plan. |
First, to recap - their first proposal has been turned down by Camden before it even got to go before the committee. Officers took the view that the scheme was a non-starter - mainly because the substantial impact the buildings would have had on the Site of Nature and Conservation Importance (SNCI). Its still possible that they will appeal this rejection. However, as they make that decision they are putting forward and alternative, very different plan. Their new proposals restrict the buildings to a narrow strip along the road.

| The green area will remain largely untouched under the new scheme. |
 |
| The new scheme that Linden Homes / Wates Developments will probably be submitting for approval. |
More details will follow - but the other thing to mention is the reservoir itself. As part of the development they are proposing to remove the roof and much of the internal victorian brickwork and bring the level of the open space down to the bottom of the reservoir. They would then landscape the edges of the reservoir so that the land would slope down into the creator of the old reservoir.
