BCGA1 Wembley Growth Area

Wembley will continue to drive the economic regeneration of Brent. It will become a high quality, urban, connected and sustainable city quarter generating new jobs across a range of sectors including retail, offices, conference facilities, hotels, sports, leisure, tourism and visitor attractions, creative and cultural industries and education facilities reflecting its recognised potential as a future metropolitan centre and cultural area of significance at the London level.

The council will seek to secure further investment from differing occupiers and commercial uses that add to the town centres’ vitality and viability to ensure future growth. A key element to making the centre work will be through ensuring that the physical pedestrian and cycle route linkages from Wembley Triangle to Forty Lane/Bridge Road are provided, as well as into the surrounding development areas, particularly to the east.

All developments will achieve the highest design standards. Energy efficient design and renewable energy are encouraged. Development will provide at least 15,000 new homes, supported by infrastructure identified within the Infrastructure Delivery Plan. Anticipated infrastructure will include:
