Camden Council has revealed its full plans for the development of West Kentish Town estate, which includes building a 15-storey tower block.
The local authority plans to knock down all of the buildings on the estate, currently home to 316 flats.
These would be replaced by 326 new homes for social rent, with an additional 530 new flats to be sold on the private market.
The existing buildings on the site are between three- and four-storeys tall, but ten of the 11 new blocks would exceed these heights.
Work is set to take place over eight distinct phases and is expected to last for around two decades.
In 2020, a ballot was held on initial proposals, with 93% of tenants backing redevelopment of the estate on a turnout of 85%.
Outline plans for the whole site, and detailed proposals for two of the plots, have now been submitted to the council for approval.
In planning documents, the local authority’s consultants said: “This landscape-led regeneration scheme will deliver a diverse mix of housing tenures, commercial spaces, and high-quality open spaces and public realm, all integrated within a coherent masterplan.”
They added that the scheme’s “ambition” is to decant and rehouse existing tenants “as soon as practically possible”.
At the moment, 263 of the flats on the estate are rented out by Camden Council, with the remaining 53 homes owned by leaseholders.
