"Conflicts" with adopted policies dismissed as 'acceptable', or 'outweighed by the wider benefits'.<br /><br />According to the Access Storage / First Way report: 'The development would provide a suitable and attractive built addition to the Wembley Park growth area in line with local policy allocation objectives.' <br /><br />I was visiting Wembley Park today, and I'm increasingly finding it an UNattractive built environment. OK, there are some trees, but it is not a place where I would have liked to raise a family, or to live now, in retirement.<br /><br />I realise that I am "spoilt", living on a typical 1930s suburban estate, but I feel that parts of Brent, such as Alperton and Wembley Park, are being turned into concrete jungles. <br /><br />Future residents may live to regret the current interpretation of Brent's development plan and planning policies by the Council's Planning Officers.Philip Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08216646114377430489noreply@blogger.com
