Phase 2

Phase 2 of the Abbey Area Development will provide a new community centre, health centre and offices for the tenant management organisation.  Phase 2 will also provide improved green space including play spaces for children.  Improvements will also be made to the junction of Abbey Road and Belsize Road including the pedestrian crossing as part of this phase. 

Detailed designs for phase 2 were worked up in 2015. These designs are currently being reviewed and Camden will be consulting with residents on revised plans later in 2019 ahead of a revised planning application being submitted. 

Phase 3

Phase 3 will involve the demolition of Emmintser and Hinstock, plus the existing community centre and health centre. The redevelopment of the site will provide 100 new homes, plus shops and business units.
