Frome Kensal Green Residents Association
There were 116 responses to Making The Leap's planning application Ref: 25/0041 on the Brent Planning Portal LINK 110 objections, 5 in favour and 1 neutral). This is a fantastic achievement and brilliant community engagement!!!
We now also have the support of Kensal Triangle Residents Association, Kensal Rise Residents Association, Queens Park Residents Association, The Victorian Society, SAVE Britain's Heritage and Willesden Local History Society.
Making The Leap's planning application will now almost certainly be referred to the Brent Planning Committee and it's essential that we email our local Councillors to urge them to lobby the committee on our behalf and that we also email the members of the committee too, and our MP Georgia Gould. The next meetings of the committee are 12 March and 9 April.

Steve Crabb
Cllr.Stephen.Crabb@brent.gov.uk
Neil Nerva

If you think anyone on that list will help or share your views, you haven't been living in B~ent very long, and definitely haven't been reading this blog. As the Ms Gould MP, best you write to her care of Keir's pocket, mind you, the address for the councillors should be in Cllr Butt's pocket.
ReplyDeleteLooking at the planning comments for this application (25/0041), it looks as if the local Queens Park councillors have already submitted objections!
DeleteStandard practice
DeleteIs this a case of Brent Labour yet again , being fired by developers' fuel and less interested in maintaining a character of the local area(s)? Brent Council feels empowered to bulldozing local character everywhere
ReplyDeleteDidn't the Heritage Officer leave recently? I wonder why?
ReplyDeleteThe objections to the development at 231 Watford Road attracted 500 objections twice, and had the support of several residents association. Granted it only just crept through at the third try, but with the leader stating it was on his watch list, what do you expect? Interestingly, the heritage Officer (who has now left Brent) was not supportive the first time, however, the second time he changed his mind. How odd, one wonders 1. Why did he change his mind? 2. Why did he leave Brent?
ReplyDeleteThe point is, no matter how hard you try and how much enlist support, if it has support in certain persons, it will go through as always. Remember the Italian Villa in Stonebridge Park etc
The current administration also believe in building in our parks, the King Eddies Park's Boxing Club who seem have the ear of someone, then there's the proposals to knock down the old buildings in Barham Park and build a hotel and shops.
