What's the planning process for a new build in Primrose Hill?
Always full planning permission via LB Camden. Primrose Hill Conservation Area covers the entire neighbourhood. Article 4 applies on key streets. Most Primrose Hill new builds start with a Pre-Application (£500–£2,500) to test feasibility, then a full planning submission running 13–18 weeks. Conservation areas, Article 4 directions and proximity to listed buildings add scrutiny.
What kind of plot makes sense in Primrose Hill?
Victorian and early Edwardian terraces, three to four storeys, with strong original detailing. Plot types that come up most often in NW1: replacement of an existing house (demolish + rebuild), side-garden infills on corner plots, and occasional backland sites accessed via a private drive. Plot acquisition prices in Primrose Hill are part of the equation — we help test feasibility before you commit to a purchase.
How long does a Primrose Hill new build take from purchase to keys?
Allow 6–12 months for design and planning (longer in conservation-sensitive parts of Primrose Hill), then 12–18 months on site for a single dwelling, 18–24 months for a large new build, and 24–36 months for multi-unit schemes. Our build programme is fixed in the contract.
How much is CIL in Primrose Hill?
Community Infrastructure Levy varies by London borough and zone, typically £20–£500 per m² of net additional floorspace. LB Camden publishes its current CIL rates online; we calculate your specific liability at the planning-application stage. Section 106 affordable housing or infrastructure contributions may apply on larger schemes.
