Estate Committee

The Estate Committee is responsible for the common parts of the Estate. Its aims are:

“We aim to renovate the common parts of the estate to a high standard and to ensure that they are well maintained. We will search for ways to improve the estate and will consult with plotholders. At the same time we will sponsor security improvements and support initiatives to foster the community spirit in the Estate. To achieve this we will strive to obtain more professional advice, both in specifying contracts and managing their execution.”

Estate Staff

The Estate has two full-time staff who have a wide range of responsibilities that contribute to our safe and attractive environment.

Conservation Committee

The Holly Lodge Estate Conservation Area Advisory Committee was formed in 1992 at the request of Camden Council. Its main function is to examine applications for planning permission sent to it by the Council and to advise whether they should be granted or refused. Its role is advisory and Camden makes all final decisions.

The main criterion is whether the proposed work would preserve, enhance or detract from the character or appearance of the Conservation Area.

The Committee has drawn up a set of guidelines to assist in reaching its decisions, and these are available to the public. Applicants may find it useful to consider the guidelines before drawing up a planning application. The Guidelines are lengthy and include a section relating to trees.

The Committee can have a maximum of 15 members; all must be residents of the Estate. We are always looking for people such as architects, surveyors and Town Planners to join. It meets only when necessary, i.e. when planning applications are received, and on average this is about every 5 or 6 weeks.

If residents have planning concerns they can contact the Secretary or any member of the Committee.

Security

The Estate has an active Neighbourhood Watch. Please email editor if you are interested in joining the team.
