Wembley Housing Zone was designated by the Mayor of London in March 2015. The Council’s efforts in the Wembley Housing Zone are focussed along Wembley High Road. The vision for this area is to restructure and revitalise the eastern end of the High Road of Wembley town centre, including
- new homes and jobs
- new leisure, retail and workspace
- public realm improvements
- increased accessibility for pedestrians, cyclists and road users
Regeneration of this gateway location within the Wembley Opportunity Area will play a substantial role in linking the established Wembley Central area with the new Wembley Park area emerging around the Stadium.
Brent Council entered into a development agreement with Wates in March 2023 to redevelop two key sites on the High Road. The new developments will include new homes, affordable workspace, new public realm and community facilities!
