Sign the petition to object to the proposal to build three massive tower blocks - up to 26 storeys high - that will tower over the Bacton Low-Rise Estate and the whole of the Queens Crescent community.

Bacton Towers Action is a group of residents in Gospel Oak and Haverstock Wards (London Borough of Camden) campaigning for a better outcome for the redevelopment of Bacton Low-Rise Estate.

Website: https://bactontowersaction.org/

The current proposal is twice as high and dense as recommended by Camden's planners and will cause harm to people, the community and the environment.

Camden Council started redevelopment of Bacton Low-Rise Estate, gaining planning permission in 2013 for 191 additional homes in buildings ranging from 2-8 storeys. Phase 1 was built delivering 67 new homes. However, the Council had difficulty in getting a contractor to build Phase 2, and instead entered into a private agreement with a developer.

Mount Anvil Ltd have now submitted an initial planning application (EIA Scoping Opinion 2024/5383/P) for the 2nd phase, with buildings up to 23-26 storeys high. Of the 447-460 homes proposed, 75% are for private sale.

Bacton Towers Action supports building additional council homes for local people. We do not support the building of large numbers of private homes in order to provide developer profit. We are demanding that Camden return to the proposals from 2012 that were co-created with residents  with a better mix of homes, to better meet the needs of local people and our community.
