Cllr Sarah Marquis, Chair of Brent Planning Committee, told residents attending the site visit at King Edward VII Park this morning that she had instructed officers to investigate comments that have appeared on the council planning portal in support of the London Welsh School's application to build a school in the park.
The resident of 28 Princes Court, whose address and someone else's name, had been used to post support, when she herself was opposed, said that she was not satisfied with the officers' explanation that this was an 'adminstrative error'.
Marquis has asked officers to investigate that and also to verify the 13 other comments (excluding 23 Toley Avenue) in support of the application that suddenly appeared on the portal on January 8th.
Apart from a representative from the Welsh School the 20 or so residents (including children) who attended seem to have been opposed to the planning application.
Debangshu Dey, a local resident, has offered to collate bullet points from residents that could then be included in a presentation to the Planning Committee on Tuesday. Residents can apply to speak for up to 2 minutes and the points could be spread between several speakers.
Debangshu's email is debangshu.dey@medriech.co.uk
It would be useful if you could say if you are willing to speak. The collated points can then be sent to all who have responded.
Cllr Sam Stopp (Wembley Central) also continues to welcome comments on the planning application cllr.sam.stopp@brent.gov.uk He will be speaking at the Planning Committee and will have up to 5 minutes for his presentation.
The site visit was also attended by Cllr Jean Hossain (Preston) and Preston ward residents can write to her cllr.jean.hossain@brent.gov.uk . Most of the park is in Preston ward, including Collins Lodge where the land swap is proposed. The Bowling Green is in Wembley Central ward.
Residents who live opposite the park on Park Lane should contact Tokyngton councillors and copy in Sam Stopp.
Here are some photographs of the Bowling Green site taken this morning.
Planning Officers confirmed that the Bowling Green itself did not form part of the planning application. Councillors were shown the disused yard adjacent to Collins Lodge which had not been considered as a possible school site or land swap.
