Camden Council has approved a new hostel for homeless families in Dartmouth Park.
The town hall’s planning committee signed off the demolition and redevelopment of the hostel in 2 Chester Road on Thursday (April 22).
Objections were lodged on the grounds of “poor” design, its massing and the quality of accommodation.
The new three to four storey building, across three blocks, will have 50 flats including 30 studios, 16 one-beds and two wheelchair accessible units.
The homes will all be accessed from a central communal courtyard.
