Matthew Lloyd Architects’ proposals will add 56 new homes to post-war Tybalds Estate

Matthew Lloyd Architects is set to get the go-ahead for infill plans that will add 56 new homes to the Tybalds Estate in Holborn.

Camden council planning officers are recommending the practice’s proposals for the 360-home estate for approval at a planning committee tomorrow.

Lloyd’s scheme would add the new properties in two terraces of mews houses of up to three storeys, three apartment blocks of up to seven storeys and “underbuild” units delivered in lower-ground-floor storage areas of three of the post-war estate’s current blocks. The application also delivers a new tenants and residents association hall and adds a lift to existing block Devonshire House.
