A retail park could be set for redevelopment that could result in almost 1,000 new homes.

Brent Council’s planning committee unanimously granted ‘outline’ planning permission for a scheme at Stadium retail park and the Fountain Studios site in Wembley Park Drive.

According to the proposals, new buildings at this site could be up to 25 storeys high while the amount of affordable housing per habitable room would sit at around 28 per cent.

In its current state, the scheme would provide 995 new homes alongside space dedicated to commercial or leisure use.

As this application was for outline planning approval, the project is likely to go back before the committee before it can progress.

Brett Harbutt, head of planning at Quintain, said the scheme fits in with the “wider regeneration of Wembley” and will contribute towards Brent’s housing targets.

He added the level of affordable housing will be subject to “further reviews” to try and increase it.

“The proposals provide a high quality, mixed use development providing homes and employment floorspace and a series of pedestrian friendly streets and open spaces in this gateway site to Wembley Park,” he said.

According to a council report, one resident living close to the plot objected to the proposals, citing concerns around the impact on neighbouring homes and businesses.
