HC Deb 20 April 1972 vol 835 cc135-6W
Mrs. Lena Jeger

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what are his present proposals for the future of Cambridge Gate, Regents Park; and whether he has reconsidered the proposals of the Crown Estate Commissioners to demolish this terrace.

Mr. Higgins

The Commissioners have not of recent years considered the future of this Victorian Terrace which Lord Gorell's Committee in 1947 recommended should be pulled down. The present leases run until 1976.

Mrs. Lena Jeger

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what current consideration is being given to the future of Cam- bridge Terrace, Regents Park, and the buildings behind it in Albany Street.

Mr. Higgins

The Commissioners are currently considering outline proposals for restoration of Cambridge Terrace as part of a development of the terrace and the buildings behind in Albany Street which would be, in the main, residential. Before any such scheme can go ahead, the proposals would be submitted by the developer to Camden Borough Council for planning approval.
