Brent Planning & Conservation Areas

Conservation areas are sites of historical or architectural importance. Building and redevelopment can be a more complex process due to more planning regulations and constraints applying within such areas. However our highly trained staff have the expertise to address more challenging planning and design issues. We achieve the aims of our clients both on an aesthetic and functional level whilst adhering to regulations set out by the local planning authority.

Brent News

Planning permission has been granted for 5000 new rental homes in the London Borough of Brent. British based property investors and developers, Quintain, are in the final phase of their redevelopment in Wembley Park. They had announced an 800 million pound building project with 3000 new flats surrounding Wembley Stadium by the end of 2017. A further 2000 properties are in the pipeline over the next 7 years. Making it the largest development site for rental properties in the UK.

Planning permission was also given for a 7 acre park, a primary school, restaurants, various shops and newly landscaped “London Square”. The scheme is in response to London’s housing shortage and need for good quality, affordable homes. Chief executive of Quintain, Angus Dodd stated “Our commitment to build to rent at Wembley Park means we can deliver the homes London needs far faster than if we were selling homes privately and ensures they will be occupied very shortly after they are complete”.

The rental homes are available either furnished, part-furnished or unfurnished. Facilities offered include cinema rooms, communal lounges, gardens, roof terraces, gyms and underground parking. Each property has no agent or inventory fee and a reduced deposit. Utility bills and broadband are included in the rent. Some are also being offered at discounted rates for those on low wages.

Once completed it is estimated the project will have created 8500 permanent jobs across various sectors.
