A lively and at times passionate debate is taking place on these pages over the redevelopment of the Kensal Rise building.
The article has attracted more comments than almost any other on this blog and I am posting this to invite readers who may have missed it to join in.

One major theme is whether the planning application should be deferred until after police have completed their investigation into the alleged fraudulent emails submitted in support of the developer Andrew Gillick's previous planning application. LINK
Other matters include whether the space offered to the trustees of Friends of Kensal Rise Library for a community library is sufficient, and how robust that agreement is.

@WembleyMatters 1/2 Strongly agree planning app should be deferred until outcome of investigation. Result might invalidate, for example. Alison Hopkins
