Countryside has received planning approval from the London Borough of Brent, for all four phases of Peel, in Kilburn, North West London

Following a detailed planning submission by CGL Architects, Countryside is set to lease the second and third phase to Home Group, one of the UK’s largest housing associations, at the end of this month.

The development will deliver 308 new homes to the London Borough of Brent increasing the proportion of affordable homes on the site from 18 to 40 percent as well.

To benefit the local community and new residents, the approved plans include a health center, gym, a new public plaza and retail and commercial spaces.

Sustainability is a key priority for Countryside and the approved plans ensure that the development will connect to the council’s proposed district energy network, providing heating and hot water for all residents. 

Daniel Layton, managing director, partnerships North London, Countryside, said: “Having worked closely with our partners, Brent Council and Home Group, this is a significant milestone in the journey for Peel and the community in this part of the capital.

“We are proud to be cultivating a close-knit and sustainable community, ensuring it serves the needs of those laying their roots here.”
