Planning

Much of BRAT’s area falls within the North Kilburn Conservation Area where specific restrictions on certain types of development apply.

The three documents below set out Brent Council’s planning policy in respect of this part of the borough:

• The Article 4 Direction removes certain specified ‘permitted development’ rights, i.e. those rights granted by central government.  This means that the changes which would otherwise be lawful require express planning permission before they can be carried out.  The restrictions are listed in Schedule A of the Direction.

• The North Kilburn Design Guide sets out the type of changes to buildings that are and are not acceptable in the conservation area.

• The North Kilburn Conservation Area Appraisal identifies, analyses and describes the historic and architectural character of the North Kilburn Conservation Area.
