Brent Council has selected Countryside Partnerships to deliver over 200 new homes - which includes 95 affordable homes for existing South Kilburn residents.
The site’s existing buildings (Neville House, Winterleys, 113-128 Carlton House and Carlton Hall) will be replaced with brand new, state-of-the-art homes. The new scheme prioritises social housing and will deliver the first homes by Summer 2025 to accommodate existing South Kilburn residents.
Stephen Teagle, Chief Executive, Countryside Partnerships, said: “Being appointed for the delivery of another regeneration scheme in South Kilburn is a fantastic opportunity to build on the knowledge and best practice we have developed with Brent Council as part of our housing and social impact delivery for North West Quarter. As a partnerships-based business, we are so pleased to have been appointed as preferred bidder for this scheme, enabling us to continue to deliver places people love and to maximise the positive, long-term impacts we are able to bring to the local community.”
Countryside Partnerships is proposing an increase in tree planting to improve biodiversity and urban greening, EV charging points, Photovoltatics to roof spaces, and importantly, the scheme is projected to achieve a 60% saving on CO2 beyond building regulations requirements which is an improvement on the 35% London Plan baseline requirement.
Cllr Shama Tatler, Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Planning and Growth at Brent Council, said: "We’re now almost halfway through our 15-year regeneration programme for South Kilburn and can’t wait to get started on the next phase with Countryside Partnerships. This project will create more than 200 much-needed new homes, almost half of which will be for existing South Kilburn residents. Not only will local families be given the keys to safe and secure homes, they will also enjoy a healthier environment, with more greenery and trees on their doorstep and a revamped local park.”
Works commenced on site in spring 2023, with demolition programmed to commence in summer 2023.
