The article has attracted more comments than almost any other on this blog and I am posting this to invite readers who may have missed it to join in.
In particular I am inviting councillors and council election candidates to respond to what is clearly an important local matter.
One major theme is whether the planning application should be deferred until after police have completed their investigation into the alleged fraudulent emails submitted in support of the developer Andrew Gillick's previous planning application. LINK
Other matters include whether the space offered to the trustees of Friends of Kensal Rise Library for a community library is sufficient, and how robust that agreement is.
The original article by the trustees of the Friends of Kensal Rise Library and subsequent comments can be seen HERE
Since this was written responses have started coming in via Twitter. I will update here:

@WembleyMatters we have a statutory responsibility to look at application. 1000's apps in Brent. Do we check the person or application@WembleyMatters@CllrButt isn't ignoring the suspicion over fraudulent emails at very least morally wrong and at worst, collusion? @CllrButt Both person& app.need flagging up.Planning cmtee statutorily independent&can vote to defer hearing>- Alex Colas
@AlexWG2014.@WembleyMatters Planning cmtee should defer decision on this application until investigation into fraud allegations are completed.
Cllr. Muhammed Butt
Meg Howarth@WembleyMatters 1/2 Strongly agree planning app should be deferred until outcome of investigation. Result might invalidate, for example. Alison Hopkins @Hopkins_Alison
