Planning Enforcement Policy
Brent Council is addressing concerns over unfulfilled planning conditions, particularly regarding tree planting requirements from a 2011 development.
Brent Council is currently addressing concerns over unfulfilled planning conditions, with residents in Queensbury Ward raising discontent in November 2025 about a developer's failure to plant 11 trees for the 2011 Callier House development on Burnt Oak Broadway. Councillor Jayanti Patel questioned Councillor Teo Benea, Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Planning & Property, at a Brent Council meeting about the lack of progress on this legally binding condition.
The unplanted trees were a legally binding condition of the 2011 planning approval, intended to maintain the Broadway's tree-lined character, a report to the council stated. The council's Planning Enforcement Policy guides its approach to investigating potential breaches of planning control and securing compliance with such conditions.
