GDV and CIL working numbers
- GDV: 950 to 1550 £/sqft
- Mid GDV: 1180 £/sqft
- Borough CIL: 535 £/sqm
- Mayoral CIL2: Z1
Camden charges residential CIL by scheme size, not a single Zone A rate: schemes of 10 or more units pay £150/sqm in Zone A (central), £250 in Zone B and £500 in Zone C, while schemes under 10 units pay £500/sqm borough-wide (adopted base rates, indexed annually - check Camden's current charging schedule for the live figure). The figure shown is the indicative small-scheme rate. Mayoral CIL2 adds £96.97/sqm in Zone 1 (2026-indexed, £80 base).
Local context
- NW3 covers Hampstead, Belsize Park and Gospel Oak. Period stock dominates; HMO and short-let policy restrictive.
- Camden CIL Zone A (residential) plus Mayoral CIL2 Zone 1 £96.97/sqm (2026-indexed, £80 base).
- Conservation area constraints push contingency to 10 to 12 percent on conversion.
- Camden published viability TPDPL; expect challenge on 17.5 percent PoGDV submissions.
