It is worth keeping an eye on this development on the old Knowles House site in Kensal Green. Cllr Margaret McClennan sounds to be all in favour. I prefer to reserve judgement until I see the scheme. The Harlesden/Kensal Green area has already seen this kind of housing in Harlesden High Street, Harrow Road NW10 and on Rucklidge Avenue so I am not sure that we want still more.
The site itself could potentially be used for housing for people who actually live in the area and suffer from gross overcrowding, which I suspect would be a popular option with local voters. Since the Council actually owns the land, it is not just a planning issue, but a direct choice by Brent Council as property owner.
The site used to be a centre for dementia patients but has been vacant for several years.
