Murphy’s Yard Community Plan

Community campaign for a special development at Murphy’s Yard, London NW5, that prioritises quality of life and respects context, in contrast to current plans.

[Murphy’s Yard Community Plan @MurphyNw5]

Murphys application is live. Camden's design review panel say: "The bulk, height and massing of residential blocks is excessive and…have a significant and unacceptable impact on important views from Parliament Hill. The amount of accommodation should be reduced or redistributed"

[Cooperation Town @CooperationTown]

Today @CooperationTown members and staff stood in solidarity with @unitetheunion members sacked by Murphys and with neighbours involved in the @MurphyNw5 fight against gentrification.

@JamesLabour @CamdenLabour @hstplabour @SylviaMcnamara_ Oh no, this suggests that they’re not bothering with any co-design or meaningful engagement, which the Council urged them to after the same approach last time fell expensively flat.

The Phoenix proposals in Lewes could be a template for sites like Murphy’s Yard in our patch. Find out more about it + plans for Highgate Studios at our AGM on Thursday. @CECamden @MurphyNw5 @tkentishtown @KentishTownNF @sianberry @Camron_aref @JamesLabour @HeathHands

[Dartmouth Park N F @DartmouthparkNF]

Join us at our AGM this Thursday evening. Hear about:

- what we’re up to
- plans for development at Highgate Studios
- the Phoenix in Sussex - a different approach to development

[Archway Safer Streets @ArchwayStreets]

The proposed new block of student flats at the old Archway hospital is erm…quite something.

@diarmaid_w @KayaJunction we really want the site to be redeveloped - and the other blocks seem grand, height wise…but the southern one is like…ridiculous. Which they must know?

Loads of great ideas for making it a development that local people can get behind.

[Peter barber @PpeterPeter]

an idea for court houses,workshops,a pub, alleyways and a little square… kings cross

[Murphy’s Yard Community Plan @MurphyNw5]

@PpeterPeter There’s a big site in NW5 that may be looking for a new designer….

And definitely needs a new design approach.

Weston Homes clearly neither understand nor wish to understand how towns work. I hope that they sell on their stake in Norwich to someone who does
