Our Public Consultation has started
This is a Camden-wide initiative. This new evening and night-time strategy will cover the whole of Kilburn on both sides of the High Road. The Kilburn workshop is designed to focus on the two Council issues, and make that the core part of the work.
Camden Community Events – Tuesday 15th November, 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm at the Kiln Theatre, 269 Kilburn High Road, London NW6 7JR
Neighbourhood planning gives communities the power to develop a shared vision for their area. 
Whilst there is a need to maintain the traffic flow along this route, especially for the bus network, a less-traffic dominated area is possible, with the 2020 Borough of Culture programme currently including a proposed street party along a temporarily pedestrianised A5. 
Building on Kilburn’s Town Centre and Market offer, with a forthcoming improvements, this section of the report is therefore focused on the High Road and its future opportunities. 
The Kilburn Neighbourhood Plan should promote a strong degree of ‘legibility’ across the area through the use of key focal points, streets shaped as ‘places’ and enhance the use of existing and improved public spaces to create an attractive, welcoming and distinctive place to live, work and visit. 
…the GVA Retail and Town centre study highlights that “The environmental quality of the centre varies from north to south. In the north, the area is characterised by small, independent retail units which are poorly maintained, with dilapidated façades” 
Whilst the park is protected as a green space at the Local Authority level already, notably as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC) on the policies map, the Neighbourhood Plan should remain involved in future development proposals for the site. 
….this document has been structured around potential topics for the forthcoming vision, it should be reiterated that a key theme to any Kilburn Vision should be to maintain the area’s vibrant and mixed identity. 
Throughout this visioning document, a number of key themes, strengths, issues and opportunities have been identified for the Kilburn area. This section provides some examples of interventions, tools, case studies of possibilities and aspirations the neighbourhood forum may want to consider in the development of their vision for Kilburn. 
Kilburn Neighbourhood Forum designation
We have formally applied to the London Boroughs of Brent and Camden to be formally re-designated as a neighbourhood forum. We (the Forum) was designated in 2016. We must now re-apply after five years in operation to continue to be formally designated for a further five years.
The Kilburn Neighbourhood Forum will be able to continue the preparation of a neighbourhood plan in our area if both Councils approve the application.
We are seeking views and comments on the application from residents and other interested stakeholders.
The application shows the Neighbourhood Area in our Forum have applied to use their neighbourhood planning powers. Representations should consider whether the Kilburn Neighbourhood Forum is appropriate to be re-designated.

……..clearly a major redevelopment, although it doesn’t look as if any of the residential blocks would be affected, nor the commercial frontage on Kilburn High Road.

Tri-Borough Consultation
Lower Kilburn High Road
Opened 18 Jan 2021
Together, London Borough of Camden, London Borough of Brent and City of Westminster are proposing changes to the ‘lower’ end of Kilburn High Road. It is just the first phase in a much bigger project to transform the whole of Kilburn High Road over the next two years, to make it a safer and more welcoming town centre.
To consult more widely, with local residents and businesses on this initial phase, covering the section of Kilburn High Road from West End Lane to Greville Place.
The proposed changes include:
Extending bus lanes and standardising bus lane hours
–Changing a zebra crossing to a signalised pedestrian crossing
–Adding more trees
–Widening the pavement
–Providing more informal crossing points and a central island
–Adding new cycle lanes and longer Advanced Stop Lines
Kilburn Square Development – the scheme has been amended!

A significant development impacting the Future of the High Road
Kilburn Neighbourhood Forum have been on the case since the objections and comments went in – around July.
What’s changed:
- Retail units re-designed, glass frontage divided with stone and brickwork and an architrave to blend in with the mixed facades along the High Road – see Elevations docs and Context doc (illustrating neighbouring facades)
- Landscape Strategy and Plan – improved public realm aims to create people’s space/square with paving and street design, planters etc
- Café on bridge has access from High Road
- Market – removable fencing – allowing for additional daily stalls for visiting markets, events etc
- Change of use – mixed use to encourage arts, business and flexi-use
What’s limiting:
- Market has not been redesigned – but can be opened up in the daytime
- Kilburn Housing Estate proposals for redeveloping the inner square sometime in the next year not joined-up?

Kilburn Square Planning Application Proposal
The new Planning Application fails to meet any of the objectives as suggested in The Guiding Principles Kilburn Neighbourhood Plan Research and Appraisal document ‘A Framework for Guiding the Next Steps’.
‘ A Statement of Community Involvement has not been completed as such. Kilburn Square is an important local landmark and considered as a Town Centre by the local population. Therefore, we would like to see happen, a wider consultation with local residents from Brent Council on this proposed planning application for Kilburn Square & Markets on Kilburn High Road.’

Kilburn Neighbourhood Plan Visioning Document
What is Kilburn Neighbourhood Plan Visioning Document?
This Visioning Document is an area-wide visioning study for Kilburn; providing the background to the forthcoming ‘Vision’ for the Kilburn Neighbourhood Plan Area. The output is therefore an area-wide and locally specific set of issues, organised against a series of themes, that could form the basis of future spatial, social and design policies in the Neighbourhood Plan. – AECOM
