Landsec lodges 1,800-home plans for O2 Centre

Landsec has submitted plans for 1,800 homes at the O2 Centre in Camden, NW3. The planning application for the 14-acre site includes 35% affordable housing and a town square, with shops, restaurants, a supermarket, gym and cinema. Half of the site will be dedicated to public and green spaces, with a community green and linear park. Landsec paid £125.9m for the site in 2010 in a move to expand its retail portfolio. Last year, the REIT filed a request for an environmental impact assessment with the council, after launching plans for the redevelopment in 2019 and undertaking four phases of consultation. David Heaford, managing director for development at Landsec, said: “The O2 masterplan site represents our vision of creating a vibrant place to live, work and enjoy, shaped by local identity and designed to serve the needs of all in the community while providing access to open, green space.” To send feedback, e-mail emma.rosser@eg.co.uk or tweet @EmmaARosser or @EGPropertyNews Image © Landsec
