Consultation is taking place on the building of two blocks, one of 16 storeys and another 18 storeys, behind the 'Twin Towers' (26 and 21 storey) replacement for Chesterfield House at the junction of Park Lane and Wembley High Road.
The consultation closes on July 16th. The buildings will be behind the shops on the High Road and bordered by the Chiltern railway line. The designers make great play of a green 'Wemba Forest' corridor around the blocks, name after Wemba who cleared a space (lea) in the forest in the area. Forest is perhaps a rather grand name for what is planned behind the shops but the artist's impression is extremely imaginative to say the least. Across the railway line there is a wooded embankment and the 2 storey houses of Park Court that will now be overlooked by four tower blocks.
I have published the design brochure below and the consultation survey can be found HERE

Page 6 is interesting - are those the only areas in London where they're building properties to meet Sadiq's goals? They're making Wembley a less desirable place to live in day by day..
I just don't feel we've got the best people in decision-making roles which means we're getting new things coming in that are really below parr.
