A communications company has sent a letter to residents and local industry announcing consultation events for proposals to build student accommodation (which they say is 'much needed' !) in 5th Way Wembley. The site is currently a mixture of industrial uses, the main one being Glynn's Waste Management.
The website says that some of the 654 student rooms will be affordable so presumably some are not.
Wembley Edge Property Ltd is bringing forward proposals to provide new high-quality student accommodation at the waste site currently occupied by Glynn’s Waste Management, on land to the north and south of Fifth Way. Alongside much-needed new student rooms, including affordable ones, the plans will deliver a range of student on-site amenities and c.4,000 sqm of modern light industrial workspace to support new and growing businesses.
As part of the development of the proposals for Wembley Edge, a range of public consultation events will be held over the coming weeks. A dedicated website - https://wembleyedge.co.uk/ - has been set up to provide local residents and businesses with further information and updates on our progress.
Consultation Events
An online webinar will be held on Thursday 9 June 6-7pm.
Two in-person public exhibitions will be held for local residents to view the emerging proposals and provide feedback:
Wednesday 8 June, 3.30-7.30pm–Brent Civic Centre
Saturday 11 June,10.30-2.30pm–Brent Civic Centre
Representatives from the project team will be in attendance to discuss the proposals and answer any questions attendees may have. Details of these events will also be available on the website and printed invitations to the events will be delivered to neighbouring residents and businesses.
If you have any questions or require any further information about the consultation or proposals, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me by contacting brogers@conciliocomms.com or calling at 07748 481 721, or join us at one of our consultation events.
Needless to say I think truly affordable family housing is rather more 'much needed'.
