Thus for Brent, OPE is all about delivering on our promises. OPE Governance in Brent will be organised via a Brent Programme Board, answering to Partners for Brent, the Borough’s Local Strategic Partnership. The programme will enjoy strong Senior Management and Member support, with both the Chief Executive and Leader of the Council represented on Partners for Brent. The Delivery Board will meet monthly and be chaired by Althea Loderick, Brent’s Strategic Director Resources, with representation from NHS Brent Clinical Commissioning Group, College of North West London, Metropolitan Police, and the OPE. Brent’s identified projects are largely internal to Brent, but strong linkages and mutual reporting arrangements will be established with Barnet’s OPE Board, with continued work on cross boundary projects. Project Groups reporting to the Delivery Board will include: Data Capture, and site specific project groups. Initial data capture will be completed by December 2016 and will be followed by the development of a public sector strategy and health review. Site specific projects are: Wembley based around: . more co-operative public sector working in Wembley, including: single front of house service to support CNWL/Brent Start co-location; to facilitate a DWP move to Brent’s Civic Centre; feasibility work to examine the best means of integrating Brent Works into Brent’s contact centre; scoping of opportunities within Wembley Centre for Health and adjoining public sector ownerships; and a detailed general review of public sector accommodation in Wembley. Current Partners: London Borough of Brent, College of North West London (CNWL), DWP, Metropolitan Police. Anticipated future partners: London Fire Brigade, Territorial Army Northwick Park based around: . The agglomeration of public sector ownership at Northwick Park delivering a wide variety of benefits including for example: growth via new homes and development; efficiencies via generation of capital receipts; and integrated services via a new energy centre. Current Partners: London Borough of Brent, Northwick Park Hospital, University of Westminster, Network Homes Ltd. Anticipated future partners: London Borough of Harrow, Transport for London, Greater London Authority, Care and Commissioning Group (CCG) Vale Farm based around: 4 . A feasibility study for the regeneration of the site. Current partners: Ealing Council and Brent Clinical Commissioning Group Church End based around: . feasibility work for public sector cooperation to build on Brent’s current initiatives, including regeneration of the Church End car park . Proposed partners: Magistrates Court, DWP, Probation service 5 Our OPE Vision 6 Our OPE Vision - What does OPE mean to Brent? Working with the public and third sectors is embedded at the very heart of Brent’s strategic framework. The Borough Plan identifies a number of key priorities of particular relevance in the context of the One Public Estate Programme: Better Locally - building partnership – between local service providers and between local services and residents – to find new ways of providing services that are more finely tailored to individual, community and local needs. Better Place - increasing the supply of affordable, good quality housing – The Borough’s aim is to develop 5,000 additional homes by 2019 Better Lives - supporting local enterprise, generating jobs for local people, helping people into work and promoting fair pay Brent’s Property Strategy 2015 to 2019 builds on these themes identified in the Borough Plan, and sets out four key objectives: Objective 1 – Support the Delivery of the Borough Plan - To use and maintain assets to enable and support service delivery and transformation in pursuit of Borough Plan priorities. Objective 2 – Promote Community Resilience - To proactively explore the community transfer of assets in support of Borough Plan priorities. Objective 3 – Value Generation - To maximise value generation in respect of the property portfolio, with a focus on increasing ongoing revenue generation. Objective 4 – Support the Delivery of the Regeneration Strategy - To promote investment and acquisitions in areas of long term value growth in support of the Borough’s regeneration, housing agenda, and planning for new school places. Brent has a proud track record in the field of regeneration as evidenced in particular by South Kilburn and Wembley. The Regeneration Strategy for Brent 2010 – 2030 looks to deliver transformational change in: Alperton, Burnt Oak, Chalkhill, Church End ,Harlesden, North Circular Road (including Brentfield and St Raphael’s), Stonebridge, South Kilburn, Wembley. The Strategy sees partnership as being central to regeneration, forming and developing strong partnerships with public, private and the third sector; and where necessary identifying areas for joint service planning and budgeting, and sharing of resource to build on strengths and avoid duplication; thus maximising benefits for local people. A key priority for Brent is supporting the NHS Brent Clinical Commissioning Group in the delivery of their Brent Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP). OPE is seen as playing a crucial role in providing this support, particularly in terms of lobbying for the retention of receipts generated locally. 7 There is a strong correlation between Brent’s Borough Plan, Property, and Regeneration Strategy objectives and the core objectives of the OPE programme, namely: Creating economic growth (new homes and jobs) More integrated, customer-focused services Generating capital receipts Reducing running costs. Thus for Brent, OPE is all about delivering on our promises. The Wembley Project plan detailed below illustrates how Brent is already working with public sector partners, notably the DWP, and the College for North West London, and the appetite for accelerating and enhancing this co-operation via the OPE programme. Northwick Park represents a huge potential opportunity which to date has largely been neglected. Initial investigations for the purposes of this submission have already begun to unlock the door to this opportunity. OPE will pull the door wide open via initial funding and ensuring the co-operation of all public sector partners. Our Vision: Is that OPE will enable us to further strengthen existing partnerships, and open doors to new partners, complementing the aspirations of our Borough Plan and delivering on our promise of Better Locally, Better Place, and Better Lives for Brent residents with the aim of having a common Public Sector estates plan that is driven by each Public Sector Partner’s Service needs. 8 Governance

  • 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.

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.
