Wembley gets the edge with student scheme

Wembley Edge Property has received planning consent from Brent Council for the development of 759 student bedrooms in Wembley, HA9.

The plans were approved in line with officer recommendations

The brownfield site, located at Fifth Way, is currently occupied by a waste management company and is a West London Waste Plan-protected site.

The site is arranged in two parcels, with the larger parcel spanning one acre to the south of Fifth Way and a smaller parcel of almost 0.4 acres to the north.

The scheme will be delivered across seven buildings ranging from five to 15 storeys. Wembley Edge will also provide 13,000 sq ft of light industrial floorspace and a 1,100 sq ft café.

The student bed mix will include 192 cluster rooms and 567 studio rooms. A minimum of 50% of these bedrooms will be provided as affordable student accommodation.
