Brent Council has secured planning consent for 250 new homes in the South Kilburn regeneration area.
The scheme will see the existing Hereford House and Exeter Court buildings demolished and replaced with four new residential buildings ranging from three to 13 storeys. Of the 250 new homes, 121 will be affordable homes available at social rent.
The residential development, which forms part of the wider South Kilburn Masterplan, will also provide a new park for residents and visitors to enjoy, as well as a number of commercial units to meet local demand.
Shama Tatler, cabinet member for regeneration, planning and growth, at Brent Council said: “This is a major opportunity to turn a currently under-utilised area into a thriving, rejuvenated community. This scheme will provide local families with safe and secure homes in the area.”
Lizzie Le Mare, director at Tibbalds, which advised the council on the project, added: “Brent Council is continuing to make progress on the South Kilburn masterplan, helping to meet local housing need with a regeneration programme focussed on long-term quality of living for existing and new residents. This planning milestone will also help pave the way for a better public realm, with high-quality architecture and design helping to make a positive contribution to the surrounding neighbourhood during this time of change.”
The project team also comprises lead architects Karakusevic, landscape architects Periscope, structural engineers Momentum and mechanical and electrical engineers Max Fordham.
