Plan for £410m London Camden Lock estate rebuilds

Housing association One Housing has started the hunt for a partner to redevelop two adjacent estates at Camden Lock in north London.

The £410m redevelopment plan will see up to 700 mixed tenure homes built at Juniper Crescent and Gilbeys Yard estates next to the Camden Goods Yard site.

These two estates are separated by a large Morrisons supermarket, which is to be demolished to make way for a separate 600-home mixed-use scheme being jointly developed by house builder Barratt and the supermarket chain.

Work is expected to start of the Barratt scheme next year.

Together these projects will see the wholesale regeneration of the Camden Goods Yard area with mixed tenure homes and 300,000 sq ft of shopping space.

Residents at Juniper Crescent and Gilbeys Yard have backed the rebuild option, which will see around 200 homes demolished across the estates.

Under the plan residents living on the estates would be temporarily moved elsewhere while the building work took place, before returning to a brand new property on Juniper Crescent and Gilbeys Yard once they had been built.

Work on the estate rebuild would begin on the ground some time in 2020.
