We understand that the consultation period ends today at 12pm and so hope our comments will reach you in time. The London Borough of Brent puts forward the following comments: Overall, we welcome Kensington and Chelsea’s proposed draft strategy for North Kensington regeneration area as it broadly aligns with Brent’s strategic objectives. In particular, we support the vision for the creation of a Crossrail station in the Kensal area, as it would be beneficial to Brent as well as other areas outside the K&C administrative boundary. As such the proposed approach to improving connectivity in the Kensal area is welcomed as it will bring benefits to Brent residents and businesses. In particular to increase pedestrian connectivity between the Gas Works site through Kensal Green Cemetery and to Kensal Green Station by improvements to pedestrian access In terms of decentralised energy systems, we welcome any discussions about shared use of such systems to form networks I hope that this makes London Borough of Brent’s position clear and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have further questions about this letter. Yours sincerely Ken Hullock Policy & Research Team Manager .

  • Harlesden Neighbourhood Plan
    Appendix A: Harlesden Neighbourhood Plan HARLESDEN NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN 2019 - 2034 May 2019 Images in this document produced by Harlesden Neighbourhood Hood Forum unless otherwise stated. With thanks to Crisis Brent Community Researcher volunteers and photography group, as well as to our Forum members, local volunteers and all those who have contributed to the preparation of this document. A welcome from the Chair of the Harlesden Neighbourhood Forum Welcome to the Harlesden Neighbourhood Plan - a vision of how Harlesden can develop and grow over the next fifteen years whilst preserving its distinct heritage. Policies within the Neighbourhood Plan are restricted to matters amenable to planning – primarily the built, physical environment. The Plan’s remit does not extend to local services, cultural and arts activities or economic development, although of course planning policies can contribute to the protection and growth of all these things. Harlesden Neighbourhood Forum’s ambitions for our area however go far beyond planning policy. We hope you will continue to engage with the development of the Plan and work of the Forum throughout the formal process and beyond. Beyond the Plan we are keen to develop an exciting and unique offer for visitors and residents alike based on Harlesden’s cultural and artistic diversity. Harlesden is a colourful, neighbourhood in north west London, home to people from across the world, where you can sample a dizzying range of cultures and cuisines from Brazilian to Polish, Trinidadian to Somali. Where, in a single visit, you can pop into some of the best Caribbean food stores in London, admire the beauty and history of Harlesden’s churches or enjoy the outdoors in beautiful Roundwood Park or one of our newly regenerated pocket parks.

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions.
