King’s Cross Central Limited Partnership (KCCLP) and Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust (C&I), part of the North London Mental Health Partnership (NLMHP), are launching a third round of consultation on the proposals for redeveloping the St Pancras Hospital site and is once again asking local people for their views.
Included in the proposals is a new building, incorporating comprehensive local mental health facilities for the borough, alongside four floors of clinical space for C&I’s specialist mental health services. Proposals also include 110 new homes, including affordable homes, set amongst mews streets and public gardens to create a truly inclusive community. By retaining and repurposing the former Victorian workhouse buildings into office space aimed at small and start-up businesses, the redevelopment will create a variety of employment and training opportunities suitable for its location within the Knowledge Quarter.
A mix of green public spaces will also be delivered, each meeting a variety of different local needs. The spaces include a new square, play areas and public gardens where people can rest and reflect in the city; whether they are accessing C&I’s services, are a resident or worker or are simply passing through.
The proposals will open up what is a currently closed off and inaccessible site and deliver accessible routes through it to improve safety and connectivity and create better connections to Regent’s Canal, Somers Town, King’s Cross and beyond.
As part of this third and final round of consultation, a series of online and in-person events are being held:
All information presented at the consultation events, as well as details of how to sign up for the online webinar, can be found on the dedicated consultation website: www.stpancrashospital.com.
