Brent Council has approved plans for a major residential regeneration project in South Kilburn, NW6.
The Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands and Alison Brooks Architects-designed scheme includes 229 new mixed-use dwellings, replacing the existing Bronte House and Fielding House towers.
Brent Council’s planning committee approved the scheme last night and it will now be referred to the Mayor of London for approval.
Paul Sandilands, director at Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands, said: “With planning permission secured, we hope the scheme will become a benchmark for the borough in terms of design quality and its focus on establishing a real community.
“We have worked closely with Brent Council to fulfil the aims of its admirable regeneration programme and create a neighbourhood that provides high-quality, mixed-tenure housing to a part of London where it is greatly needed.”
Demolition of Bronte House and Fielding House towers is due to start at the end of 2013.
