From Brent Council
TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1990 (as amended) THE PLANNING COMMITTEE
Re: Wembley National Stadium, Olympic Way, Wembley, HA9 0WS
I refer to the planning application for the above site which proposes:-
Variation of conditions 1 (Event Cap) and 2 (Temporary Traffic Management) of Variation of Conditions reference 20/4197 dated 21 June, 2021, for Proposed variation of Condition 1 (event cap) of planning permission reference 18/4307 (varied permission for the construction of the stadium, dated 07/03/2019), to allow up to 9 additional major non-sporting events per event calendar year.
The current application includes the submission of an Environmental Statement.
The application will be formally considered at the meeting of the Planning Committee on 11 September, 2024 starting at 6pm.
This meeting of the Committee has been arranged to take place in the Conference Hall, at the Civic Centre.
Those who wish to observe proceedings may either do so in person or via the live webstream which we will make available on the Council’s website:
https://www.brent.gov.uk/your-council/democracy-in-brent/local-democracy/live-streaming/
It is possible to speak at the Committee Meeting, which can be undertaken online (or via the telephone) or in person at the meeting, subject to the restrictions set out in the Council's Standing Order. These provide for one objector and/or one supporter of the application to speak. The Chair has the discretion to increase this to two people from each side. In doing this, the Chair will give priority to occupiers nearest to the application site or representing a group of people.
To address the committee you must notify Executive and Member Services by 5 pm on the working day before the committee meeting. Please email committee@brent.gov.uk or telephone the Executive and Member Services Officer, Mrs Dev Bhanji, on 07786 681276 during office hours. Please indicate if you intend to speak at physical meeting or online.
The Chief Planner's recommendation for this application is to Grant Consent subject to Legal agreement
Yours sincerely

This was never going to be refused the FA is a very rich and power full organisation, operating as WNSL.
Having read the report, they have an answer for everything. Money = you can buy whatever you want, including Brent Council approval.
Quoting Oasis "You gotta Roll With It"
Please don't quote money grabbing 'we come from a council estate' Oasis at us 😡
Thought the planning application was for 8 extra major events not 9??? When did this increase to 9???
Cllr Mo Butt will get loads more freebies while the rest of us suffer!
While Planning Officers make recommendations the decision will be made by Councillors on the Planning Committee. This Planning Application has many implication for large parts of Brent - well beyond the immediate area and on tens of thousands of Brent residents. To allow only 1 or possibly two objectors to express their concerns and opposition seems daft and does not reflect well on Brent Council - the prospect of 5 or even more consecutive Concerts (Cold Play and Oasis in 2025) is not sensible as it has a disproportionate impact on the ability of local people to go about their everyday business. Events at Wembley Stadium should not be allowed to lay a siege on the surrounding area day after day. This is why Brent Council should carry out a proper consultation and for once actually listen to local concerns of local residents and act accordingly. The Planning Application decision should be deferred until this is done.
