What a load of BS, basically everything stops until they find a delivery partner. With Brent''s record, I doubt the list will be very long given what they want to achieve, as we know "Affordable" means no social housing, where will all the existing tenants be rehoused?

Couldn't manage a party in a brewery as they say.

Stop, so time then for Brent to meaningful engage with the long suffering (if you add in this public owned 45 ha being brutally run-down prepped to re-develop 45 years) consumers of this special zoned toxic product? The year 45 for 45 ha, the original estate architects would be astonished at what happened to their social work.

South Kilburn now has 4 empty buildings: Hereford Hse, Exeter Ct., Masefield Hse and Wordsworth Hse. None of these now fit for human habitation. Along with these four are others partly decanted - Blake, Austen, Dickens, - which are very run down and have big problems with squatters. ERSK have built lots of new flats but have also created a ghetto. What a fiasco!

The Radburn 60 houses estate Malvern Road, South Kilburn which forcefully rejected re-development plans in 2004 (they live in family houses that you can easy self maintain) would be an ideal place for Brent to pilot net zero/ green transitioned existing homes.
In Central Europe, you get government grants to clad houses (even mid-rise panel blocks) in non flammable insulation foam, then its re-rendered (so thick walls)/ whole suburbs look as if brand new. New homes in UK are being made only of this foam at present time, so these brick built 1970's Radburn net zero upgraded houses would be definite housing upgrades, yet still remain super easy to low cost maintain and therefore good freehold family homes. Exactly what this bleak chaotic 45 ha public land project ruins and remediations forever zoned needs to change its scary abuse-led direction of travel in regeneration year 23. Get on with green investing/ hedgerow/tree plantings in the 2ha central park also to future proof it and support high quality access to nature for tall building zone towered tenants in new 4 bedroom 'sky houses'. Makes total public health and space for community wellbeing sense.
