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

The feedback received will inform future plans which will be consulted upon in a second round of consultation in due course.
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.
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
If you are unable access the internet, attend one of the in-person events, or you require the consultation materials in another language, we can arrange for a hard copy of the presentation and survey to be sent to you by post. Please call 07739 317294 Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm to arrange this.
