New Homes Delivery Programme - Latymer Community Church and Bramley Road New Homes
Feedback updated 15 Feb 2022
We asked
The first round of community engagement events has now been completed and the consultation closed. We held two engagement sessions in December 2021, one in-person and one online, to provide details about the proposed scheme and to ask for your views and feedback. Thanks to everyone who attended and who completed the online survey.

Headline findings from the first round of engagement sessions
- We received 22 competed surveys and 25 residents attended the two engagement sessions – one face to face and the other online.
Thoughts on the overall scheme
- The vast majority (19 of 22) supported a scheme that re-provides the existing Latymer Community Church and provides improved community facilities.
- Again 19 of 22 respondents supported the inclusion of drop-in stay and play provision as part of the proposal.
- The majority (18 of 22) supported plans to provide new social housing, key worker housing and open market homes to rent on the site.
Thoughts on the types of housing
- The most popular size of property respondents would like to see on the site was two bedroom properties (16), followed by one bedroom properties (15) and three bedroom properties (13).
Thoughts on the building height
- The majority (18 of 22) felt the proposed building height (ground plus six floors) was about right.
- However, four respondents felt the building would be too tall.
Thoughts on Landscaping, fencing and community garden
- The majority (20 of 22) supported the proposed approach to landscaping on the site.
- Most (18) would like to see existing fencing and railings removed or reconfigured to improve pedestrian access through the area and to green spaces as part of the development.
- The majority (17) would also like to see improvements to the enhanced community garden area.
We did
The feedback received will inform future plans which will be consulted upon in a second round of consultation in due course.
Overview
The Council is building 600 new homes in the borough including a minimum of 300 at social rent. This will be achieved without the loss of any existing homes.
There is an urgent need for social rent and key worker homes in the borough and our New Homes Delivery Programme will go some way to tackling our housing shortage.
Phase 1
Work has already started on the 97 homes that form part of Phase 1 of this programme. These sites comprise Kensal Road, Hewer Street, Acklam Road and St Helens.
Phase 2
We have recently successfully gained planning consent on two of our Phase 2 sites, Silchester and Barlby Road New Homes schemes.
Phase 3
The Latymer Community Church and Bramley Road new homes scheme will be the first of our Phase 3 schemes.
We are in discussions with Latymer Community Church about providing a brand new and improved community church on the existing site of the Church on Bramley Road alongside new homes and community improvements.
The idea stemmed from the Latymer Community Church who is interested in providing an enhanced new facility on the site together with the Council.
Alongside proposals for a new church facility, it is intended that the slightly enlarged site provides other local benefits including homes for social rent and key workers, as well as a permanent children’s ‘drop-in Stay and Play’ facility for local children.
Why your views matter
Feedback you provide during the engagement events and through the survey questionnaire, will be used to develop potential design proposals for the site and new community facilities. You can provide feedback through the survey. You can also find further information about the proposed scheme at the Council’s Latymer webpage
