PHASES 3 & 4
Sitting to the north-west of Phoenix Place and Phases 1 and 2 in Camden, Phases 3 and 4 of Postmark will deliver a mix of new homes, both private and affordable, as well as office, retail and community floorspace across five new buildings. Phase 3 is located over the Royal Mail Group mail centre car park, and Phase 4 facing onto Calthorpe Street with The Garden running between them.
Latest updates
Phases 3 and 4 will be set across five new buildings, ranging from 3 to 11 storeys. At Phase 3, the scaffolding and concrete frame is now complete. Works to the façade and brickwork are ongoing, and we have started to fit-out the kitchen, bathroom, and flooring within each new home.
Brickwork at Block E is now complete up to level 7. At Block F, tilling installation is ongoing, and brickwork is in the process of being completed up to level 9.
We are making good progress at Phase 4, with the ground floor slab due for completion in the next month.
Occupation of the first apartments and completion of the public realm is expected to take place by the end of 2023, with both phases complete by Q1 2025.
S73 consultation
In 2021, we consulted on a set of minor amendments proposed to Phase 3 of Postmark. These amendments were submitted through a ‘Section 73’ application to Islington Council, which allows a developer to make minor material amendments to an existing planning permission.
Minor changes are often made as a development progresses in order to ensure the best outcome. These amendments do not include any external changes, save for the addition of some balconies. The high-quality architecture and shared open spaces and landscaping will be maintained.
There are currently 336 apartments consented in Phase 3 and 4 of Postmark, of which 159 are in Phase 3. The majority of these are oversized compared to Islington Council and GLA standards and make inefficient use of the space.
- Through our S73 application, we are proposing to reconfigure the apartments to be more efficient and vary the mix, which would allow for an additional 34 apartments to be created within the approved building envelopes. All our apartments will meet space standards, including 10% wheelchair accessible homes across the whole Scheme.
- This will involve minor changes to the exterior of the building to change some balcony positions. However, no changes to the height or massing of the building are proposed and the overall projected population of Phase 3 remains similar to what was consented.
- This increase will help deliver more homes in the Borough, both affordable and open market. The same high-quality architecture, design and building materials are proposed to deliver Postmark’s exemplar placemaking.
