new homes on a verge in Wembley
Brent Council's Planning Committee recently approved plans for new homes on a Wembley verge, despite previous refusals for the site.
Brent Council's Planning Committee approved plans in June 2026 for a three-bedroom dwellinghouse on a grass verge adjacent to 125 Preston Road, Wembley. This decision grants permission for the construction of new homes on a site where similar applications had previously been refused and an appeal dismissed.
The previous application for new homes on the Wembley verge was refused due to concerns over design and appearance. An inspector concluded that the proposed dwelling's design was substantially different from existing semi-detached houses, causing significant harm to the area.
