The Brent Council Planning Committee met on Thursday 2 July 2026, with Councillor Saqib Butt in the chair. The committee considered three planning applications, ultimately deferring one, granting permission for another, and granting permission for a third subject to a legal agreement.
Wembley Centre for Health & Care, 116 Chaplin Road, Wembley
The committee resolved to defer a decision on the application for the demolition of existing buildings at the Wembley Centre for Health & Care and redevelopment to provide 108 residential units. The deferral was to allow for a further report to address concerns including insufficient affordable housing, inadequate parking, lack of community space, insufficient play space for older children, insufficient family-sized housing, harm to neighbouring amenity including loss of daylight, and the impact on a non-designated heritage asset and the street scene.
Kingsbury High School, Princes Avenue, London
Planning permission was granted for the construction of two artificial sports pitches, associated fencing, floodlighting, and the relocation of a cricket facility at Kingsbury High School. The proposal aims to provide year-round sports facilities for the school and the wider community, replacing a playing field that is often unusable due to waterlogging. Conditions were attached to secure the matters identified in the committee report and supplementary report.
Thanet Lodge Garages, Mapesbury Road, London
The decision on the application for the demolition of the existing garage block and erection of a new three-bedroom dwelling house was deferred. The deferral was requested to allow for the evaluation of ownership certificates and to clarify whether the scheme would fall within the definition of self-build.
The meeting also included the confirmation of minutes from the previous meeting and declarations of interest. There was no other urgent business raised.
