Bridge Park Consultation Newsletter
The Newsletter gives the impression that the consultation is just about Bridge Park and Unisys but as Philip Grant says in a comment below it is about more sites that this.
The map below indicates the other sites involved in what Brent Council is calling the 'Hillside Corridor'. Residents of Roy Smith House and Bernard Shaw House should make a special effort to find out what plans are in the pipeline for their homes.
Conduit Way is not included in the map but Brent Council in the past suggested tall building there. LINK
For Stonebridge Park an additional area adjacent to the site allocation BSSA7 Bridge Park and Unisys Building has been identified. This incorporates the Conduit Way estate. This extension is justified on the basis that the existing estate is of low density, lower quality homes which has the potential to be intensified to a higher density reflective of its higher public transport accessibility. This is particularly so along and in the areas adjacent to the Brentfield frontage. This will complement the taller buildings proposed on the Unisys and Bridge Park site and reinforce the gateway role from the North Circular of those entering the borough from further afield.
From reading the newsletter, you would think that the exhibition and consultation were just about the Bridge Park site, but that is not the case.
ReplyDeleteAn email I received today from Brent's Head of Capital Developments said:
'The Council will be hosting two public exhibition events at Brent Start, Twybridge Way on 28 and 30 November 2024. The exhibitions and consultation will include proposals for other sites within the Hillside Corridor, including Morland Gardens, Twybridge Way, Bernard Shaw House and Roy Smith House.'
I will send Martin a map with those other four named sites 'within the Hillside Corridor' marked on it. At least two of those, Roy Smith House and Bernard Shaw House, are existing Council housing sites - does that mean Brent is planning some "infill" developments there?
Any residents living at or near those four sites would do well to attend one of these two exhibition sessions at Brent Start (the old Willesden Council Stonebridge Clinic, at the corner of Hillside and Twybridge Way), to see what the Council is planning and to have their say about those proposals.
