Intensification Corridors
'Supporting higher density development in Brent’s town centres, Intensification Corridors and in areas with good accessibility to public transport.'
The map shows the large numbers of areas designated. Apologies re legibility - it is a screen grab from the Brent document.
Wembley Opportunity Area
The borders of the Wembley Opportunity Area cover Bridge Road and Grand Parade as well as Asda and its car park and Kwik Fit and the Torch public house on the corner with Forty Avenue. Notice also the strip of land which borders Ark Academy - the other side of the railway from the high rise Brook Avenue development.
The table below gives the maximum building heights in various areas. The number of storeys will vary according to the height of each storey but an average of 3.3 metres is reckoned a good guide.
A reminder from nearly 40 years ago that led to the demolition of high rise council estates in the borough:

Brent Council 1982:
'We are a council that believes in open government and so we are publishing many awkward facts that could easily have been "lost" in someone's drawer."
Brent Council 2021 - compare and contrast!
A very good point by Philip Grant. In around 1983 Brent Council received a Freedom of Information award. Liberals (pre Lib Dem days) held the balance of power and Leaders of all 3 parties on the Council attended the ceremony (including me) and received the award on behalf of the Council.
The irony of the press cutting published by Martin is that at the time Labour Councillors were campaigning hard to ensure that the "NO children above 5th floor" was implemented in Brent. Perhaps the current crop of Labour Councillors may need reminding why living above the 5th floor is not a great idea for children and why 30 storey tower blocks are not a good idea for anyone.
