We would like to share details of our latest public consultation which outlines plans for new homes, a neighbourhood courtyard and a town square at Brent Cross Town.

About the new homes
Plots 24A and 24B will be Brent Cross Town’s newest residential buildings that are designed by award-winning architects, Cowen and Partners. Plot 24A will provide approximately 80 new affordable homes for local people, across a range of 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms. 10% of the homes will be built as wheelchair accessible and up to 20% of the homes will have basement parking spaces. Plot 24B will provide approximately 170 homes for sale and there will be shops and a café on the ground floor. All the new homes will provide high quality living spaces, good daylight and sunlight provision, functional storage space, outdoor amenities and secure cycle storage facilities that are easily accessible. The buildings are also being designed in line with the Brent Cross Town’s sustainability framework which aims to minimise environmental impacts. You can see the designs on the online boards here.

The Courtyard
As well as Plot 24A and 24B, there are four buildings which surround a public courtyard, including Later Living homes (Plot 22) and co-Living homes (Plot 23) which we consulted on earlier this year. This courtyard will provide a green open space for people to relax, socialise and play in, within a safe setting. We want you to tell us your ideas for how we can bring people together and create community in this Courtyard. The current designs can be viewed on the online boards.

Neighbourhood Square North
Neighbourhood Square North is an exciting town square which will have new shops, cafes and seasonal planting to create a colourful edge to Merchant Street. This town square will follow shortly after the opening of Neighbourhood Square South (located across Merchant Street) which is in the next few months.
