Camden council have defied public opposition and granted plans for a new housing development in west Hampstead.
Eleven out thirteen councillors voted in favour to sell the land to building development group A2 Dominion.
The housing development will replace the former council office block at 156 West End Lane, creating 164 flats, offices and a new “community space”.
More than 1,000 official objections were made to the Town Hall – the largest ever in West Hampstead. Opposition has also taken to social media through the “Stop the Blocks!” campaign.
Veteran liberal democrat Councillor Flick Rea has described the plan as “an insensitive ugly development which doesn’t take any account of the neighbourhood its being built into.”
