Litigation

  • (Social sector ACM) 17/09/2026. Original consent IDENTIFIED: Brent 09/2506, ‘Demolition of existing building and erection of a part 5- to 13-storey building with communal terraces, comprising a total of 115 flats (54 x one-bedroom, 46 x two-bedroom and 15 x three-bedroom) on upper floors, ground-floor commercial unit, basement parking’, decided 16/03/2010 (https://democracy.brent.gov.uk/ieDecisionDetails.aspx?ID=605). ARCHITECT NOT CONFIRMED FROM THE FILE: every 09/2506 document on the Brent portal is an image scan with no text layer, so the Design and Access Statement and Planning Statement could not be read by the decoder. The approved drawings carry job number 10987 with discipline code A and no practice name (10987-A-07-101 D South elevation and so on); the landscape sheets are a different originator, WT1884. Working attribution from Buildington - lead architects RHWL, executive architects Hunters, main contractor Willmott Dixon, developer Octavia Living, completed July 2013, 13 storeys, 115 flats (https://www.buildington.co.uk/buildings/9180/london-ha9/341-345-high-road/elizabeth-house). SINGLE SOURCE. ROUTE LEFT: read the 09/2506 Design and Access Statement visually in a PDF viewer, or the drawing title blocks. NB unrelated Elizabeth House at Waterloo (AHMM / Allies and Morrison) - do not confuse
