Help mount planning objections against Bacton towers

Bacton Towers Action is a group of residents in Gospel Oak and Haverstock

(London Borough of Camden) campaigning for a better outcome for the

redevelopment of Bacton Low-Rise Estate.

The current proposal by private company Mount Anvil is twice as high and dense as recommended by Camden’s planners. With 75% expensive homes for sale, it doesn’t address the housing need in our neighbourhood and will cause harm to residents, community and the environment.

We are very concerned that Camden Council has allowed Mount Anvil to propose a scheme that is not compliant with Camden’s own planning policy. We need independent planning advice so that we can make detailed objections to the planning application when it is submitted (which we are told will be at some point this summer).

We are raising £5,000 to commission a planning consultant and others such as a daylight specialist.

If you have already donated for our day-to-day campaign expenses - a huge thank you! The £550 we raised by June 2025 were used for printing flyers and leaflets for distribution, to maintain our website and venue hires.

This is a different fundraising effort, specifically to mount a serious challenge during the planning application process.

We are doing this for the soul of our community and future generations to come. We hope you will be able to support us - any amount matters, no matter how small!
