The densification of the Wembley High Road area will continue if a proposal for the development of the site of the Elm Hotel (also known as Euro Hotel) and the nearby disused church at 10 St Johns Road goes ahead. The developer, Wembley Ltd is proposing that a 315 room 'Aparthotel' (A form of hotel having self-catering apartments instead of bedrooms or suites) replaces the 57 room Elm Hotel. The development will be a further intrusion into suburban housing.

Wembley Ltd say:
The team’s vision is to transform the existing hotel into a much needed 315 guestroom Aparthotel helping to fulfil the significant demand in the area for high quality hotel and hospitality facilities as well as providing new jobs and additional uses for the site. The plans incorporate the adjacent site at 10 St John’s Rd (containing a disused church) and will also provide new active ground floor non-residential space. The intended design fully respects the location close to the high road but within a residential area. It has been carefully considered against key views to ensure the building makes a positive contribution to the townscape. The building will meet high sustainability standards, will minimise car use and maximise walking and cycling for residents and visitors
