Additional Frontage to be Designated 3 Chapter 1: Introduction The purpose of this report is to inform town centre policies in the Development Management Development Plan Document (DMDPD) and designations on the Policies Map, in keeping with the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (2012) and London Plan (2011). Policy Context The National Planning Policy Framework (2012) requires local planning authorities to define the extent of town centres and primary shopping areas, based on a clear definition of primary and secondary frontages in designated centres, and set policies that make clear which uses will be permitted in such locations. Similarly, London Plan policy 2.15 states boroughs should co-ordinate the development of London’s network of town centres so they provide convenient access to a competitive choice of goods and services, and identify primary and secondary shopping areas on Policies Maps. Policy 4.7 states in preparing Local Plans regular town centre health checks are to inform strategic and local policy implementation. Map 1: Brent’s Town Centres Brent’s Core Strategy Policy 16 establishes the town centre hierarchy for Brent’s 16 centres and sequential approach to maintaining the position of centres in the retail hierarchy. The town centre categories in Brent are major town centres, district centres and local centres. The location of Brent’s centres is shown on map 1. 4 Policies in the DMDPD will build on strategic policies within the Core Strategy by providing detailed policy on how the council will promote strong town centres, by ensuring a healthy diversity of uses to meet consumer needs. To fulfil the requirements of the NPPF and London Plan this report considers if the 35% upper limit on the proportion of primary frontage in non-retail use established in the UDP is still appropriate. In addition, this report includes a review of the town centre boundaries and designated primary and secondary frontage, and assesses if there has been any change in the town centre network. Survey Method To inform this review health checks were undertaken on all town centres in the borough and larger neighbourhood centres. A comparison was made to previous surveys undertaken since 2001. A total of 16 town centres were surveyed in April 2013. Surveys were carried out by officers who walked each town centres retail frontage, undertaking a photographic survey, and recording changes against the previous survey results. The survey recorded the use of units in the primary and secondary frontage including the name of the unit and its primary activity. Brent’s larger neighbourhood centres were surveyed to assess if they continued to serve a purely neighbourhood function or their role had changed to the extent they should be designated as local centres. Structure of the Report Chapter two of this report sets out detailed findings for each town centre and the implications for primary and secondary frontage and town centre boundaries. Chapter three summarises the findings of health check data for Church End neighbourhood centre and implications for Brent’s town centre network. Chapter four goes on to consider if the threshold for non-retail frontage established in the UDP is still appropriate. 5 Chapter 2: Review of Existing Town Centres The primary and secondary frontage of Brent’s town centres was last reviewed in 2004 to inform the UDP and accompanying Policies Map. Since this time considerable changes have taken place in town centres and Brent as a whole. Brent’s population has increased beyond projected levels. In 2004 the population of Brent was 263,000, at the time the GLA estimated a 14% growth in Brent’s households from 101,500 in 2001 to 112,000 in 2016. This figure has already been exceeded. The 2011 Census found Brent already has 110,300 households. The increased population has significant implications for Brent’s town centres and their capacity to meet retail needs. The Brent Retail Need and Capacity Study (Feb 2006) has recommended the likely borough-wide growth in demand for shopping floor space. The study reveals that there are significant requirements for new floor space, particularly for comparison goods. It is estimated that there is scope, after taking account of existing commitments, for 27,000 sq m gross of comparison floor space (with an overall 3% increased market share scenario) and 5,200 sq m gross of convenience floor space (based on a static market share prediction) by 2016 increasing to 90,000 sq m gross of comparison and 12,500 sq m of convenience floor space by 2026. The results of this study were tested in the Scenario and Sensitivity Testing Paper on Retail Matters (September 2009). However, the recession and changes in shopping behaviour are impacting significantly on town centres. Vacancy levels in London now stand at 9.4% (Local Data Company, September 2013). This has led many commentators to suggest town centres are in a period of transition, and in future will comprise fewer retail uses. There have been calls from the London Assembly amongst others for town centre policy to allow the release of unviable secondary frontage to residential uses, and encourage a consolidated retail core. These national and local trends have informed the proposed town centre boundaries and review of the primary and secondary frontage. 6 Major Centres Kilburn Kilburn is a major centre located in Brent and Camden. Within Brent Kilburn town centre is located along Kilburn High Road between Oxford Road and Kilburn Station. The secondary frontage extends west along Willesden Lane. Kilburn comprises 266 designated units in Brent, 70 of which are primary frontage and 185 secondary. Kilburn has good accessibility by tube from Kilburn Station and regular bus links to Paddington, Victoria, Oxford Circus and White City. As figure 1 illustrates the proportion of primary frontage in retail use fell in 2005 before increasing to its current level of 56.6%. Vacancy levels in the primary frontage have fallen since 2007 to the current level of 3%, which is relatively low when compared to other town centres in the borough. Figure 1 Kilburn has a marginally higher proportion of comparison to convenience retail. The convenience retail offer includes a high proportion of greengrocers and general foodstores. The comparison offer consists of a variety of goods including footwear, clothes, electrical goods and variety stores. The majority of stores are independent; however, a number of multiples are located in the town centre including Argos and Clarks. Kilburn market makes an important contribution to the retail offer of Kilburn providing a range of comparison goods. The town centre has a high proportion of service outlets particularly takeaways, restaurants, cafes and hairdressers.

  • Tokyngton Wards Are Major Destinations in Themselves in Addition to Being Residential Areas
    ELECTORAL REVIEW OF THE LONDON BOROUGH OF BRENT WARDING PATTERN SUBMISSION BY THE BRENT CONSERVATIVE GROUP RESPONSE TO THE LGBCE CONSULTATION NOVEMBER 2018 1 | P a g e Introduction Why Brent? During the current London Government Boundary Commission Executive (LGBCE) review process, it has become clear to us that since the previous review in 2000, warding levels have developed out of balance. Brent Council meets the Commission’s criteria for electoral inequality with 7 wards having a variance outside 10%. The outliers are Brondesbury Park at -16% and Tokyngton at 28%. Electoral review process The electoral review will have two distinct parts: Council size – The Brent conservative group welcomes to reduce the number of councillors to 57 from current 63. We appreciate that this will require some existing wards to be redrawn, and recognise that this will represent an opportunity to examine whether the existing boundaries are an appropriate reflection of how Brent has developed since 2000. In addition, the establishment of new developments such as South Kilburn Regeneration, Wembley Regeneration, Alperton and Burnt Oak and Colindale area. Ward boundaries – The Commission will re-draw ward boundaries so that they meet their statutory criteria. Should the Commission require any further detail on our scheme we would be very happy to pass on additional information or to arrange a meeting with Commission members or officers to run through the proposals. 2 | P a g e Interests & identities of local communities The Commission will be looking for evidence on a range of issues to support our reasoning. The best evidence for community identity is normally a combination of factual information such as the existence of communication links, facilities and organisations along with an explanation of how local people use those facilities.

  • Wembley Park to Harrow Weald
    Cabinet 11 December 2017 Report from the Strategic Director of Regeneration and Environment Quietway - Phase 2: Wembley Park To Harrow Weald Kenton, Northwick Park, Preston, Wembley Wards Affected: Central Key or Non-Key Decision: Key Open or Part/Fully Exempt: Open No. of Appendices: 2 Background Papers: None Rachel Best, Contact Officer: Transportation Planning Manager Tel: 020 8937 5249, [email protected] 1.0 Purpose of the Report 1.1 This report introduces the proposed phase 2 Quietway cycle route from Wembley Park to Harrow Weald. This includes two spurs: one to Wembley Central station; and the second along Churchill Avenue to Kenton Road. The programme is at an early stage with only an indicative route, passing through the central and northern parts of the borough. 1.2 Quietways are important as they provide a network of routes on safer, lower- traffic back streets, aimed at new and less confident cyclists and the proposed phase 2 route from Wembley Park to Harrow Weald forms part of the wider cycle network outlined in the Brent Cycle Strategy 2016 – 2021. 1.3 Seven Quietway routes identified in the pilot phase are being implemented, including one from Regent’s Park to Gladstone Park, which will benefit Brent residents. 1.4 The Quietway programme has evolved to include improvements for pedestrians as well as cyclists. Implementation will involve improvements to junctions and signage to make cycling and walking safer. 2.0 Recommendation(s) 2.1 That Cabinet: 2.1.1 Agrees the route of the proposed Quietway through Brent and for the scheme to be continued to detailed design and consultation.

  • The Coronavirus and the Underground
    THE CORONAVIRUS AND THE UNDERGROUND What first began in China in December 2019, and has been gathering pace worldwide since, it wasn’t until March that the London Underground began to be noticeably affected, by a fall in passenger numbers by an estimated 20%, later increased to be 70%, and 80% as this issue closed for press. Where possible, office-based staff who could work from home were told to do so, which was soon followed by an announcement that service levels would be reduced in accordance with Government advice. This would serve three purposes, (1) to save running “ghost trains”, (2) providing a service for essential workers and (3) reducing social contact. The measures announced by TfL are summarised thus. • Reduction of services. • No Waterloo & City Line from Friday 20 March. • No Night Tube (and also no Night Overground) from Friday night/Saturday 20/21 March 2020. • The possible closure of up to 40 (mostly) non-interchange stations: Arsenal Chancery Lane Kilburn Park St. James’s Park Barbican Charing Cross Lambeth North St. John’s Wood Bayswater Clapham South Lancaster Gate Southwark Bermondsey Covent Garden Manor House South Wimbledon Blackhorse Road Gloucester Road Mansion House Swiss Cottage Borough Goodge Street Mornington Crescent Stepney Green Bounds Green Great Portland Street Pimlico Temple Bow Road Hampstead Queensway Tooting Bec Caledonian Road Holland Park Redbridge Tufnell Park Chalk Farm Hyde Park Corner Regent’s Park Warwick Avenue All of the stations are “Section 12” stations, governed by the Fire Precautions (Sub-surface Railway Stations) Regulations 2009 which means there must be a specified minimum number of staff on duty, otherwise it would be illegal to open to passengers.

  • Underground Diary
    UNDERGROUND DIARY FEBRUARY 2019 Friday 1 February began with westbound C&H trains non-stopping Westbourne Park from the start of traffic until 07.40 because of defective OPO equipment and no staff being available to despatch trains. A defective Jubilee Line train at Dollis Hill at 06.30 caused a 20-minute southbound delay, aggravated by a points failure at West Hampstead at 07.05. As a result, all West Hampstead reversers during the morning peak were cancelled, which equated to six trains. A fire alarm activation at Warwick Avenue at 10.25 necessitated the station’s closure until 10.50. All SSR lines were suspended through Moorgate from 11.05 because of a track circuit failure, resuming at 12.05. A Network Rail points failure caused the District Line to be suspended between Turnham Green and Richmond from 12.35. Two trains were stalled between stations, that between Kew Gardens and Richmond authorised to return to Kew Gardens and then to Gunnersbury, where it crossed over and returned eastbound. After that move had been completed, the westbound train stalled approaching Gunnersbury was able to proceed into the station and then reverse, following which a limited service resumed between Turnham Green and Gunnersbury. Through services to Richmond resumed at 14.15. Another defective Jubilee Line train at Waterloo at 19.05 resulted in a suspension on the ‘extension’. The offending train moved off to Southwark and was detrained there, with services resuming at 19.30. A person under an eastbound District Line train at Southfields suspended the Wimbledon branch of the District Line from 23.00, with a limited service resuming to Parsons Green at 23.25.
