Proposed Scheme
Planning consent to change the use of the property from commercial (Class E) to a dwelling house (Class C3) granted subject to S106 payments. The planning permission also allows for the demolition and reconstruction of the rear extension of the ground and first floors and remains subject to the approval of Camden Council and satisfaction of any conditions imposed therein. Prospective purchasers are advised to make their own enquiries directly with the local planning authority.
Great James Street has a well-established precedent for the conversion of commercial office space into residential use, with numerous properties already successfully transformed. The peaceful character of the street makes for an excellent living environment, especially at the northern end of the street where no. 22 is located, away from the busier thoroughfare of Theobalds Road.
A scheme has been prepared to deliver a single dwelling. Floor plans are provided overleaf for reference.
