Athlone House
Oppose its destruction
Amazingly Athlone House, one of the most cherished landmark
buildings overlooking Hampstead Heath, is still under threat, despite
proposals for its demolition being decisively rejected by Camden
Council.
Developers have now turned to the Planning Inspectorate in a bid to
have Camden’s decision overturned. The appeal will be heard in
February.
It’s critical that the Inspector, Sian Evans, is made aware how strongly
local residents oppose the scheme. Our 500 emails helped persuade
Camden reject the original application. Another 500 are needed to
make Athlone House safe from the developers’ second attempt to
destroy it.
