Gardens at the front of Kings Court in Kings Drive, Wembley Park
Many readers will be familiar with the flats in King's Drive, WembleyPark, next to the old Brent Town Hall, now the Lycee Winston Churchill.
I am not sure of the exact age of the flats but Kings Court and Carmel Court were there in the late 1930s when the Town Hall was built.
Now the flats and the mature gardens that surround them are due for a change. Wisestates Ltd, a small family trust, who have owned the freehold since the 1980s, are putting forward plans for 28 additional homes on the estate including extensions, homes on the garage sites and one new block.
The grounds have been better maintained recently and there are some beautiful mature trees and lawns. Wisestates say that improvements to the exisitng flats and grounds will be paid for by the new homes.
Gardens at the back - a tribute to the foresight of the original architects
The garages are shrouded in black
The disused bomb shelter appears to be on the proposed site for the new block
The extensions will be built at the back of existing blocks
The consultation with residents has only just begun. Details: www.keimprovementprogram.com
