Construction Management Plan
Arada London is committed to delivering the scheme in as sensitive a manner as possible. We plan to construct the development in line with the Construction Management Plan (CMP) that was produced previously by Essential Living and subsequently approved.
As approved in the existing CMP, it is proposed that:
- Avenue Road will be used for all construction vehicles
- Construction vehicles will avoid peak school drop off and pick up times to maximise safety
- Deliveries will be organised to avoid stacking of lorries waiting to get into the site
- Contractors will be instructed not to park in the surrounding streets
- Pedestrian safety and management will be detailed in the CMP and communicated to local groups
- There will be a process for escalating any breaches of the CMP
Throughout the course of the construction of the development, there will be air quality monitors at key, sensitive locations throughout the site. Noise, dust and pollution monitoring results will be published on the project’s website.
Consultation and feedback
Visitors of this website during the consultation period will be able to submit feedback on the proposed CMP, prior to its determination by Camden Council. The consultation window is Thursday 11th December 2025 to Sunday 4th January 2026. You can submit your feedback here.

Responding to feedback
1. Construction Traffic and Local Congestion
Concern: Increased construction vehicles could cause congestion, safety risks, and inconvenience.
Response:
All construction vehicles will use Avenue Road as the primary access route, avoiding residential side streets wherever possible. Existing entrance into basement car park from Eton Ave will be utilised for basement deliveries only. Deliveries are pre-booked and scheduled to avoid peak hours, especially school drop-off and pick-up times. Traffic marshals and clear signage will be in place to manage vehicle movements and ensure safety for all road users.
2. Noise and Vibration
Concern: Construction noise and vibration may disrupt daily life, especially for nearby homes, schools, and the theatre.
Response:
Noisy works are restricted to Camden’s standard working hours (8am–6pm weekdays, 8am–1pm Saturdays). Real-time noise monitoring will be in place, with quiet periods coordinated with sensitive neighbours like Hampstead Theatre. Mitigation measures include acoustic barriers, silenced equipment, and careful scheduling.
3. Air Quality and Dust
Concern: Dust and emissions from construction could affect air quality and health.
Response:
A Dust Management Plan is in place, including two real-time PM10 monitors at sensitive locations. Wheel washing, regular road cleaning, and dust suppression techniques will be used. Monitoring results will be published monthly on the project website for transparency.
4. Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety
Concern: Construction activity may endanger pedestrians and cyclists, especially near schools and public transport.
Response:
Dedicated traffic marshals will supervise all vehicle movements. Safe, clearly marked pedestrian and cycle routes will be maintained at all times. Temporary barriers and signage will be used during deliveries or works near footpaths.
5. Impact on Public Spaces and Amenities
Concern: Use of parkland and changes to public spaces may reduce access or enjoyment.
Response:
Any use of parkland for site access will be temporary and agreed with Camden Council. Trees and artwork will be protected or relocated as needed, and public spaces will be restored after construction.
6. Cumulative Impact of Nearby Projects
Concern: Multiple construction projects in the area could compound disruption.
Response:
We are coordinating with other major projects (e.g., HS2, Chalcott Estate) to manage combined impacts, especially regarding traffic and noise. Regular meetings with neighbouring project teams and the council help avoid scheduling conflicts and minimise disruption.
7. Parking and Contractor Behaviour
Concern: Contractors may park in local streets or behave inappropriately.
Response:
Contractors are strictly instructed not to park in surrounding streets and are encouraged to use public transport. A “red card” system is in place for any anti-social behaviour, and all workers are briefed on site rules, including no radios, shouting, or smoking outside designated areas.
8. Communication and Complaints
Concern: Residents want clear information and a way to raise concerns.
Response:
A Construction Working Group will meet regularly with residents, businesses, and councillors. Newsletters and a project website will provide interim updates. There will be a clear complaints process, with all issues logged and responded to promptly.
If you are interested in joining the Construction Working Group, then please register your interest by contacting the team on our freephone information line 020 3398 1590 or by email at 100avenueroad.london@arada.com.

9. Environmental Protection and Monitoring
Concern: Risks to local wildlife, green spaces, and compliance with environmental standards.
Response:
The CMP includes strict environmental controls, pest management, and compliance with all relevant legislation. Monitoring covers noise, dust, vibration, and air quality, with results shared publicly.
10. Health, Wellbeing, and Community Support
Concern: Construction can affect mental health and wellbeing for both workers and the community.
Response:
We are committed to supporting mental health, with trained Mental Health First Aiders on site and signposting to support services. The CMP encourages open dialogue and ongoing engagement to address concerns as they arise.
