1 On 30 November 2009 the Mayor of <strong>London</strong> received documents from Brent<br />
Council notifying him of a planning application of potential strategic importance to<br />
develop the above site for the above uses. Under the provisions of The Town &<br />
Country Planning (Mayor of <strong>London</strong>) Order 2008 the Mayor has until 8 January 2010 to<br />
provide the Council with a statement setting out whether he considers that the<br />
application complies with the <strong>London</strong> Plan, and his reasons for taking that view. The<br />
Mayor may also provide other comments. This report sets out information for the<br />
Mayor’s use in deciding what decision to make.<br />
2 The application is referable under Category 1A of the Schedule to the Order 2008:<br />
Category 1A: “Development which comprises or includes the provision of more than 150<br />
houses, flats, or houses and flats”.<br />
3 Once Brent Council has resolved to determine the application, it is required to refer it<br />
back to the Mayor for his decision as to whether to direct refusal; take it over for his own<br />
determination; or allow the Council to determine it itself.<br />
4 The Mayor of <strong>London</strong>’s statement on this case will be made available on the GLA<br />
website www.london.gov.uk.<br />
Site description<br />
5 The site is 2.82 hectares and is located in <strong>Sudbury</strong>, 1.6 kilometres west of Wembley<br />
town centre. It is bound on the east side by Harrow Road, to the north by the railway line<br />
which serves the <strong>Sudbury</strong> and Harrow Road railway station and to the east by the<br />
Maybank open space. To the south of the site are the rear gardens of residential properties<br />
which run along Central Road.<br />
6 The site is currently a housing estate of large panel construction, a pre-fabricated<br />
building system developed in the early 1970s. The estate comprises 214 dwellings within<br />
28 separate blocks in buildings up to three storeys high. The existing dwellings are in a<br />
poor state of repair and regeneration is required to address the issues of deprivation and<br />
poor housing quality. The site also includes a car showroom and garage that fronts onto<br />
Harrow Road.<br />
