Residents of The Combe Allowed to Return Home Following Structural Assessment

Most residents evacuated from The Combe in Munster Square, Regent’s Park NW1, after concerns over a structural crack, will be able to return home this evening, Camden Council has confirmed. The announcement follows an independent assessment from structural surveyors and an inspection by the Wates Dangerous Structures team.

Assessment Findings

The survey concluded that the crack discovered on an internal wall of a ninth-floor flat is on a non-load-bearing wall, meaning it does not impact the structural integrity of the building. After conducting a walkabout of the site, the London Fire Brigade agreed with the assessment, deeming the block safe for the majority of residents to return.
