BSEGA1 South Kilburn Growth Area

South Kilburn will be a thriving, vibrant and sustainable community. The council will continue to facilitate a shift from the housing estates of the 1960s and 1970s to new high quality housing, a flourishing local economy supported by adequate infrastructure, a high quality, safe and healthy local environment, and the amenities and sense of space and place to support a diverse and vibrant local culture.

All developments will achieve the highest design standards and contribute positively to the delivery of the wider landscape and public realm strategy to better integrate South Kilburn into the surrounding area.

The priority will be to re-provide social rented housing for existing tenants of South Kilburn. Elsewhere the council will seek a mix of tenures to meet the needs of the wider Brent population.

Retail provision will be supported to enhance the vitality and viability of the existing neighbourhood parade on Malvern Road and to provide greater ground floor animation from Albert Road through to the Peel site.

South Kilburn Growth Area will deliver over 2,100 new homes (or a minimum 800 net additional homes once demolitions are taken into account) to 2041, supported by social and physical infrastructure to include:

  • An expansion by 1FE of the South Kilburn Park Junior School and Carlton Vale Infant School on a new site plus provision of community space to be used out of school hours;
  • Provision of a new South Kilburn Health Centre within the Peel Site;
  • Retention of the Granville Centre enterprise hub and community space and provision of residential on the site;
  • Existing community spaces retained or premises relocated and improved;
  • South Kilburn Park will be extended and enhanced;
  • Additional public open space will be provided on the Gloucester House and Durham Court site; on the existing Hereford House/Exeter House site; as a replacement for the existing Granville Road open space; Denmark Road Pocket Park; and along Cathedral Walk;
  • Enhanced public realm in line with the public realm strategy and increased tree planting.
