Mr Sean Newton (Principal Planning Officer) introduced the report and answered Members’ questions. Members heard that the revised scheme, a revision to the extant scheme would deliver significant elements of infrastructure and significant benefits, including the new health centre for South Kilburn and the provision of 127 (41%) affordable homes (56% by habitable room) and affordable workspace. Additionally, it would not give rise to harm to the identified heritage assets of South Kilburn Conservation Area
Mr Laurence Brooker (agent) in addressing the Committee stated the scheme was widely considered to be an exemplary case of estate regeneration, and one that gained significant support from stakeholders including local residents and the GLA. In design terms, the proposal was compliant with policies and would also provide significantly more public realm comprising a destination market square, activated by additional commercial uses around its edges. He then summarised the key benefits of the scheme. In conclusion, Mr Brooker stated that the proposal would be of the highest quality sustainable design and architecture, with future connection to district heating networks and significant CIL payments generated for further infrastructure investment. Additionally, it would cement and enhance Peel’s role as the civic heart of South Kilburn.
