The Liddell Road development plans were this week’s main story:

• We drew up a Bluffers Guide to the proposals.
• There was a public meeting that got very tetchy.
• We’re told that 156 West End Lane will have 50% affordable housing (Camden numbers from earlier this year citing 25% are apparently out of date).
• We also looked at what “affordable housing” actually means.
• There are now petitions against the block led by the Conservatives and by the Trade Union Socialist Coalition.
• All three parliamentary candidates are opposed to the current scheme, including Labour’s Tulip Siddiq despite it being a proposal from Camden Labour. Opposing and getting it changed are two very different things.

Also plenty of news from the tower blocks that are already approved at West Hampstead Square

• The cranes are due to arrive on site on Monday & Tuesday.
• The first block to be built in the West Hamsptead Square development will be affordable housing. The flats should be available from spring next year via A2 Dominion.
• The new entrance to the Overground station, which will be part of this development, will be wheelchair and buggy acccessible.
• With all the open market properties now sold, Ballymore’s marketing suite will be removed within the next few weeks.

A piece of piping fell off the roof above Ladbrokes on Friday, luckily not hitting anyone.
