Brent Council rejects Wembley Stadium/FA request for more time to consider tonight's planning application

From Supplementary report tabled for tonight's Planning Committee Meeting LINK

Additional letter received from Nathaniel Lichfield & Partners (NLP) on behalf of WNSL / The FA

NLP have specified that a significant amount of new information was submitted to Brent Council by the applicant on 9 May, only 48 hours before committee, including specialist responses on noise, transport and planning issues. They specify that WNSL as well as Brent Council need further time to review the detail submitted that appears to relate to the impact on the operation and safety of Wembley Stadium.

Information has been submitted to the Council. This information has been submitted by the applicant as a rebuttal to the letters submitted by WNSL and their consultants. It does not provide new information. The Council’s consideration of the proposal is based on the information originally submitted to support the information together with Appendix K which was submitted subsequently, with further consultation carried out.

The submission of the rebuttal letters is not considered to trigger the requirement for additional consultation.
