Local community stalwart stephan schulte has, in one of his community emails explained succintly how to comment on the planning application:
>>Folks,
As you know should now know, King’s Cross Station now going to be re-developed by Network Rail and their Planning Application is now pending. Consultation will be completed this Thursday 14 September.
Although there may be many issues that have meaning to local residents – one in particular should be a major annoyance for Islington residents. Entry to the new concourse and the rest of the station will be from
Pancras Road, north
of the Great Northern Hotel. Not only will there be no access from
York Way
but none form the
Euston Road
frontage either.
Although the consultation period is almost over, you can easily object to this current plan (and I for one will be doing so due to the aforementioned reason) by going online and filling out a simple form.
The link below will take you to
Camden
’s public planning register:
http://planningonline.camden.gov.uk/WAM/search/pas/index.htm
When you get their just insert the application number in the appropriate field – 2006/3387/P
When the application details come up, just look at the top of the page for “Comment on Application.”
This link will take you to a form to complete. Of course, you may comment on any aspect of the application at this time.
If you want to respond, please do it quickly as the consultation period is due to end this coming Thursday, 14th September.

About time too! Kings Cross currently looks a mess as well as many other london areas. The 1972 extension is ugly and hides the Beautiful Victorian Grandeur that sits behind it. This news will be welcolmed by many, I’m sure. I don’t mind about only having access to the Pancras Rd North entrance. I’d rather this than the ugly mess we look upon at the moment. We are going to have millions of visitors from around the world in 2012 and, not only Kings Cross but the many other parts of London need to be drastically improved. I was born in St Pancras and am passionate about architecture in London so good luck to whoever came up with this absolute fabulous idea.
