BH2 Priority Areas for Additional Housing Provision Within Brent

In addition to the Growth Areas and Site Allocations identified in this Plan, town centres, edge of town centre sites, areas with higher levels of public transport accessibility levels and intensification corridors will be priority locations where the provision of additional homes will be supported.

Within town centres, edge of town centre sites and intensification corridors where existing non-residential floorspace forms part of a site proposed for residential development, the council will require re-provision of the same amount and use class of non-residential floorspace. Exceptions to this will be where it can be shown that:

  1. the site is allocated or has planning permission for an alternative use(s);
  2. there is no need for it or reasonable prospect of its use if provided; or
  3. in exceptional cases that its loss is outweighed by the benefits that its replacement with residential floorspace will bring
