Camden Council has unanimously approved Regal's redevelopment plans for 100 Chalk Farm Road in London, England, UK.
100 Chalk Farm Road is a site of approximately 0.75 acres, located next to the Grade II-listed live performance venue, Roundhouse.
The project, an addition to Regal's purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) portfolio, will feature 264 student bedrooms and 30 affordable homes.
The development will also include roughly 11,000ft² of ground-floor commercial space and enhancements to the public realm.
The proposed design, a collaboration with DSDHA, includes four buildings reaching up to 12 storeys.
The PBSA building's design features three drum-shaped elements.
DSDHA director Deborah Saunt said: “Our approved design for 100 Chalk Farm ensures that the neighbouring Roundhouse and the industrial heritage of the Regent’s Canal Conservation Area will be both celebrated and respected.
“We’re pleased to be providing an enhanced public realm, benefiting the wider community, as part of our proposal.”
A shared garden with play space will be available at podium level for both residents and students.
Public realm improvements will include a new public space adjacent to Roundhouse and will enhance the pavement outside the site, including new retail and commercial premises.
Aligned with Regal's sustainability strategy, the project aims for Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) Outstanding certification and seeks to be among the first UK PBSA projects to achieve WELL Platinum accreditation.
Regal planning director Steve Harrington said: “We have worked hard to strike the right chord on this special site next to such an iconic performance venue and are very proud to be able to bring forward proposals that reflect the spirited history of Camden town.
“As a Camden-based developer, we are particularly excited that our newest PBSA project is in our home borough, and we look forward to bringing our proposals to life.”
Earlier in June this year, Regal submitted plans for Orchard Wharf in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, with approval anticipated by early 2025.
