Brent is Open for Business and our Investment Prospectus sets out our 10-point pledge for potential partners and the opportunities to deliver new high quality developments and support good growth within the borough.
If you can support our ambitions, then we’d be delighted to welcome your views on how we can work together to accelerate great growth in Brent.
We are pro-growth and work in partnership with developers to build new homes, jobs and infrastructure in the best locations, and meet local priorities. Come and talk to us about your proposals and we will link you to the right teams to make it happen.
We want affordable homes on site to be maximised and more genuinely affordable social rented homes to help meet our local housing needs.
We want to develop and intensify new industrial and commercial floor-space, and provide affordable workspaces for our local business base, to create jobs and grow the local economy.
We already benefit from excellent transport connections and outstanding schools; the community infrastructure levy has allowed us to invest in schools, health facilities and parks to ensure development benefits new and existing communities alike.
Our award winning planning team is ready to speak with you about your proposals and plans from the outset, and is focused on getting the right results. We will help you facilitate meaningful community engagement and navigate the decision making process.
We encourage you to engage and test your proposals as early as practical, to improve your chances of success.
We will work closely with you on financial viability assessments to ensure the maximum amount of affordable housing is delivered, including through partnering opportunities and grant funding.
High quality design, outstanding architecture and attractive landscaping make great places and drive value. Brent’s Quality Review Panel provides advice to make the most of strategic regeneration and major development schemes.
Gives residents a voice to help the council and developers better understand the needs of the local community. We encourage applicants to take advantage of it and identify early any concerns that should be addressed.
Development has an important part to play in addressing the climate emergency, and our Sustainable Environment and Development Supplementary Planning Document helps with guidance to support this end.
