Latest news on the O2 Development Proposal
A Stage 2 decision was reached by the Mayor of London in December 2023. Revised O2 development plans, application reference 2025/0484/P are currently under consultation, but comments close soon (March 2025).
The updated plans add two storeys to three of the tallest blocks and extra storeys to five other blocks. This takes the tallest block to 17 storeys, with two at 16 storey blocks. Historic England has previously commented that, “The volume and scale of the development means that there is a harmful impact to designated heritage assets through development within their setting.” Further details can be found at O2 Site Development page here.

2021 Referendum on the Redington Frognal Neighbourhood Plan
At the Neighbourhood Forum EGM of 18 March 2020, it was unanimously agreed to formally submit the Redington Frognal Neighbourhood Plan (Submission version), the Basic Conditions Statement and the Consultation Statement to Camden Council. On Thursday 17th June 2021 you could have your say by voting.
Update: Results of the vote
RedFrog is delighted to report the result of the referendum on the Neighbourhood Plan was:
88% voted Yes, in favour of Camden using the neighbourhood plan to to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area.
This means that future development should preserve or enhance the Area’s architectural heritage and contribute to greening the neighbourhood. We are grateful to many for input and help – from the Forum Committee to our ward councillors, residents who helped with publicity and, particularly, all those who voted Yes. The Committee will now monitor implementation of the policies.
More details and updates on the Neighbourhood Plan are available here.
