Planning committee
Decided by Brent Planning Committee on 4 Aug 2025. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.
Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because the scheme would provide student housing, affordable rooms, commercial space and public realm improvements despite identified impacts.
- Residents objected mainly to the scale, height, student concentration, traffic, parking, heritage impact and effects on neighbouring homes.
- The committee voted 5 to 3 to grant permission, subject to the Mayor’s referral, a legal agreement, conditions and informatives.
