Burnt Oak and Colindale
Burnt Oak and Colindale, once home
to Oriental City/Yaohan Plaza, can
provide approximately 2,500 homes,
on sites arranged along the axis
of Edgware Road (A5). Brent aims
to maximise the results of inward
investment and ensure the new
developments help revitalise and
do not threaten the existing town
centres. With the A5 corridor
marking the boundary between Brent
and Barnet, there are opportunities
for both boroughs to work closely
together. The Burnt Oak, Colindale
and The Hyde Placemaking Plan,
adopted January 2014, sets out
a vision, which aims to guide and
catalyse change within the area
through a suite of co-ordinated
public realm interventions and
urban design strategies.
Church End
Church End is a growth area and
also a priority area for the borough.
It is being promoted for mixed use
regeneration, set around the
economic revitalisation of the local
centre. The area is currently home
to a thriving market, green space
and St Mary's Church. The local
economy will be re-energised, with
the market in the heart of the area.
Church End provides the opportunity
for additional housing and other
facilities. The area has been identified
as an area for further growth and
benefits from good accessibility
by public transport. Around eight
hectares of brownfield land will
provide space for approximately
800 new homes by 2026,
supported by social and physical
infrastructure works.
South Kilburn
We are working with our partners
to regenerate South Kilburn.
The South Kilburn Regeneration
Programme will take 10 to 15 years
to complete and will transform the
area, creating a vibrant community
that stands the test of time. The
regeneration will deliver 2,400 new
high quality homes, improved open
spaces, new shops, new health
facilities and a new school.
Old Oak Common (Park
Royal/Willesden Junction)
The Government’s proposals for
a new High Speed 2 (HS2) and
Crossrail station at Old Oak by
2026 would create one of the best
connected railway stations in the UK.
This gives rise to significant potential
for economic development, jobs
growth and new homes. The Mayor
of London also sees this as an
opportunity to regenerate the
wider area.
Based around the new HS2 and
Crossrail station at Old Oak, the
Mayor, Transport for London (TfL),
plus the London Boroughs of
Hammersmith & Fulham, Brent and
Ealing, have been considering the
potential for regenerating the area.
Consultation on a 30-year Vision for
Old Oak was carried out over the
summer of 2013. The vision to
regenerate Old Oak included the
delivery of up to 90,000 jobs and up
to 19,000 new homes, schools, open
spaces, shops and leisure facilities.
