Introduction
The Heath and Hampstead Planning Sub – Committee works to protect and enhance the character of Hampstead.
We review all planning applications affecting the conservation areas of Hampstead. We make constructive comments and raise objections whenever these are appropriate, where proposals may be damaging to the character of our Conservation Areas.
We work with Camden Council to positively influence planning policies affecting Hampstead.
We give evidence at Planning appeals, usually in support of Camden’s refusal of permission.
We work with Camden’s tree officers to protect endangered trees and encourage the planting of new ones.
Contact us for further information, if you are concerned about a planning application or if you need advice on fighting an appeal.
