This is the development by Berkley St William for the area where the gasometers were.

MPST are holding meetings and have an online survey for local people to complete.

For more information, see the flyer below and go to the Queen’s Park Area – Healthy Neighbourhood page on this website.

The two proposals of most interest to QPARA members are:

1. Extending the Queen’s Park Conservation Area to cover most of Salisbury Road and the area south of Paddington Old Cemetery.
2. Creating a new conservation area for Kensal Rise.

Details of these possible changes, drop-in sessions and how to respond are on Brent’s website at: https://www.brent.gov.uk/planning-and-building-control/listed-buildings-and-conservation-areas/conservation-consultation

This shows the area that is being considered to add to the Queen’s Park Conservation Area.

The downloadable documents contain a lot more information.

Note: there are older documents dated 2019 still on the Brent website, but the page above contains the latest. One major change from the previous proposals is that, instead of including part of Chamberlayne Road in the Queen’s Park Conservation Area, it is now proposed to include it in the new Kensal Rise Conservation Area.

You can find further information on this website at Kensal Canalside.

Kensal Triangle Residents Association has a website with further information, videos, analysis of the application and a petition – https://www.keepkensalgreen.com/.

The QPARA response can be seen on the Planning page.

The meeting was addressed by the author of the report, Melissa Merryweather, and there was a lively Q&A session.
