Site constraints 8

2 Article 4 directions
Article 4 for HMOs · Article 4 for Town Centres - Kilburn. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.

The council or Historic England considers archaeology likely here. A desk-based assessment, and sometimes trial trenching, can be asked for with the application.
Air quality management area: Brent AQMA
The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
