This shall have a significant negative impact upon the start up businesses and charitable organisations whom where reliant upon their office spaces to operate under a previous mutral agreement between the old landlords and Starting Out Charity - Kindness Offensive which they could of easily continued to honour. However, there could be one slight twist to this as sources have revealed that a "selective" company business whom currently occupies the building has possibly done an underhanded, closed door deal to remain with the council that will undoubtedly financial benefit their own business but, put out to pasture all of those whom they wanted out of the picture and would possibly challenge this under the old agreement had with Kindness Offensive. As Wembley Matters stands by what is rightful for the community, it will be most interesting and worthwhile them perhaps looking into come after the 19th October 2017 what actually happens within Ujima House???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-9051947549754390372016-11-28T15:26:59.633+00:002016-11-28T15:26:59.633+00:00Thank you for the tip off Martin, but I fear this ...Thank you for the tip off Martin, but I fear this is already a done deal. In this location former Brent Annexe a 1960s office block has been redeveloped into Jenga Court with 25 very small flats some barely meeting 40 sq metres, and they have been given planning permission to put 2 further storeys on top creating another 10+ units. Lanmor House again an old 60s office block was given permission under permitted development to convert to 34 flats again with 2 extra storeys. Neither of these two properties offer any Affordable Housing, No social housing, no Amenity or Storage Space, insufficient parking for the amount of flats. Along with the new developments which have been already granted permission Brent House, 250+ flats for housing approx. 1,000 people. Chesterfield House soon to start the Twin Towers again 200+ flats. Both these properties have limited parking and amenity space. Wembley Central is already the most densely populated Ward in Brent. Where are all these residents going to fit, we are already gridlocked at peak times, have very full buses and all current residents are waiting at least 2/3 weeks to see a Doctor! Forget about trying to get your children in a local school?

In return for building Brent a new "cultural centre" on a small part of the site, Galliford Try were given 72% of the land, and allowed to build 95 flats on it.<br /><br />Regeneration managed to persuade Planning Committee that Galliford Try should not have to provide any affordable housing on the site, which enabled Brent's development partner to sell its entire gated private development [built on land that Willesden and Brent Council's had acquired over the years for public community use] off-plan to property investors in South-East Asia.<br /><br />I hope that the Council's semi-secret plans for Wembley will not see a repeat of similar mistakes.<br /><br />Philip.Philip Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08216646114377430489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-35155205079847806992016-07-24T09:42:55.437+01:002016-07-24T09:42:55.437+01:00It definitely looks as we are still in the time of...It definitely looks as we are still in the time of completely corrupt Brent.
