Mid -rise even high rise street facing 2 storey houses is in an everything goes ZONE OK, Buy 4 houses a tower is site possible, so bit-by-bit many plans also looks most likely.<br /><br />Study the Mayors Public Land Registry Map and heavily defend Welsh Harp and get the big green investment into it now as Phase 1, repeat how Wormwood Scrubs Common is being protected from developer colonialism.<br /> David Waltonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-56396661712572673962023-01-22T17:04:59.185+00:002023-01-22T17:04:59.185+00:00"A developed country is not a place where the..."A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars.

Not the same thing at all.

How on earth will a very small area, already well built up and occupied, shoe horn in the homes for 2200 people? There is NO spare unused land. Brent have banned converting office and commercial space to housing, and that’s what Staples Corner consists of. I guess they could stick tower blocks round the edges, but given the land ownership is piecemeal in the extreme, god knows how that will happen.<br /><br />What really annoys me is that Brent rejected an application recently which would actually have been a positive improvement. H R Owen wanted to built a service operation on Humber Road, replacing tatty old workshops. Much better and smarter, but Brent bounced it. <br /><br />Like every other master plan this is pie in the sky fantasy. It’s also still predicated on the Brent Cross expansion which is, as we know, dead in the water. Alison Hopkinsnoreply@blogger.com
