NEXT STEPS
Following our two consultation events held at Chalkhill Community Centre on Wednesday 20th and Saturday 23rd November, we are keen to hear your views on our proposals. We welcome any feedback and will look to incorporate suggestions, where possible, as part of the ongoing design process.
We are targeting a planning submission to the London Borough of Brent in March 2025.
