Dec 2007, Paul Scott remarked:
the main concourse is at ground level, and the main entry/exit
from the platforms will still be directly from the existing front of
the station, towards the new square, and also via the western side
concourse, which will clearly provide much improved access to the
underground. There will also be a mezzanine level for cafes & shops
etc.

Unfortunately there isn't a small size report I can link to, but
its all on the Camden site if you slog through it...

I'm sure that last time I looked the platform ends were going to be
*only* exits [1]. I printed it out when this last came up, but
that's at home 300 miles away. Later this weekend, maybe...

[1] There was discussion about how they'd likely get very congested
in the rain because people would stop to put up umbrellas etc,
rather than striding outdoors into the wet.

And there was a planning wrangle with Camden over the size of the awning
outside the train shed to allow this.
