Camden Council is seeking tenders for a main works contract for Phase 1 of the West Kentish Town Estate (WKTE) regeneration under a JCT Design and Build Contract 2016 (JCT DB 2016) together with the Council's standard amendments, using RIBA Stage 3 planning level design information. Phase 1 is located on two separate land parcels - Site A1 includes the demolition of a block of seven maisonette flats above garages, along with an adjoining office space currently used as the WKTE Consultation Hub. In its place, the Council will deliver approximately 52 new social rent homes across two development plots: Site A1: 30 new homes and a ground-floor commercial unit fronting Queen's Crescent Site D1: 22 new homes, located adjacent to a railway bridge - Network Rail Basic Asset Protection Agreement (BAPA) is required. In addition to the new housing, the scheme will deliver a high-quality public realm, incorporating landscaping, communal amenity space, and children's play areas, designed to enhance the quality of life for existing and future residents. A hybrid planning application is due to be submitted in June 2025, with a planning decision expected by December 2025. Subject to approval, construction is scheduled to commence by 31st March 2026, aligning with the GLA funding milestones. Further details of Phase 1 and the wider regeneration scheme are included in a Project Summary on the tendering portal. Full instructions are also included on the portal.
