FOREWORD
Brent Council has adopted its Replacement Unitary Development Plan (UDP). The Plan provides planning guidance for the development and use of land. As such, it seeks to improve the environment of the Borough, promote the regeneration of areas in need of renewal in a sustainable way and promote access to new development for the whole community.
The UDP was adopted after several rounds of public consultation and a public inquiry which gave those with an interest in the future of Brent, an opportunity to have their say on the plan’s policies and proposals. Many residents, businesses and other interested parties have participated in drawing up the Plan which will have a central role in shaping the Borough over the coming years.
Parts of the Borough will be transformed over the next few years and it is important that there is clear planning guidance so that change is implemented in a way which brings environmental, economic and social benefits and is in the interests of local people. There is also much in Brent that is worthy of protection and conservation. The Plan provides the necessary guidance and controls to allow for the changes necessary to regenerate the run-down parts of the borough whilst protecting and enhancing the positive aspects of our environment.
